I'm a Jack lds wtf?

So for my first official blog I decided to write about what I find funny about my religion.
First off let me start by saying I love all my LDS kind and this is not meant to insult anyone.

What I find funny about the LDS way is that we are told that we should stay away from certain things like violent movies, anything R rated is out,songs that don't invoke the spirit of god, alcohol, and drugs. We are told that these are not mandatory to follow, and in the end it is our choice...this is FALSE.

While I understand the drugs and alcohol thing, I do not understand the whole music thing. I will be the first to tell you even though I am LDS I listen to Manson, Slipknot, Korn, Cradle of Filth, and many other bands. I agree that kids should maybe hit about 16-17 before listening to some bands, but I am an adult I know that the church is true, that jesus died for our sins, I also know that just cause the lyrics say something doesn't mean I have to believe in it.Another thing I don't get is why LDS adults need to be leery of R rated movies. Oh I am a strong believer that kids should wait to watch those movies until they can understand what it is they are watching. Hell I had to. Anyways the point is unless you have a weak testimony I don't see the harm in a little rated R movie now and then, as long as it is tasteful. Perfect example, my mother-in-law is a die hard LDS we were standing in line to see 'Precious' well when we got to the ticket counter we saw it was rated R she refused to see based on that. I had to see it by myself. I understand the rating for it, but it was so tasteful plus when you base a movie on a true story you can't cut out what a person went through just to get an acceptable rating.

Now I know that at least one LDS has probably stumbled on this blog and is thinking I have fallen from the church or I have a weak testimony, but the truth is I don't. This brings me to the second part of my rant how most(note I say most not all) of you not only judge me but others with the same view. We are know as jack LDS(people who are LDS but don't follow the churches guidelines). While the stuff stated above are just guidelines many die hard LDS take it too heart and constantly judges other members of the church for not following them. See the thing is God sent us to this plane to grow, but how can we grow if we are constantly being judge by other members in our ward.

Well it is getting late, and I'm pretty sure I've gotten out all that needs to be said. So please leave comments. If you are LDS or jack LDS please leave a comment I will love to get your opinion on this. Last but not least if you have nothing to comment then leave some ideas on what you would like me to talk about . Peace out.
