Molly Mormon...an Insult?

(Sunday, Aug 23, 2009 8:54 pm)

A year ago if you had asked me if i was mormon, i probably would have given a slight nod or gone as far as to change the subject. I felt the church was right, i knew that the standards given by the church were correct, but i did not want to come across as a sissy. Consequently i simply followed my friends and ignored my conscience. Long story short, i was, in fact, a sissy.

I got a job that is employed by many questionable people. Many have good hearts but little will power. I worked closely with one of these people and i became very interested in her well being. I discovered that she had seen the missionaries and was somewhat familiar with the LDS church. I decided to use this to my advantage. So I prided myself in the fact that i was mormon and tried my very best to set an impressive example. I don't think it worked very well but during some of our conversations i could tell that she respected me and wanted to help me keep high standards. Most of the time :P

I was hanging out with friends and we decided to watch a movie. The movie chosen was rated R and i had recently decided to avoid those. Luckily our "host" had Clear Play. Unfortunately the remote's batteries were dead. We put them in the freezer to try and boost them for just enough juice to get the movie going. It actually worked. I protested that we turn on Clear Play. It was only rated R because of language, and honestly i would have watched it if a few months earlier i hadn't set a standard i did not want to break. So i insisted. I was ridiculed by all but one person. Who fortunately owned the remote :) She stuck up for me and did her very best to turn on the filters with the "frozen" batteries. I feel kinda bad cuz i don't think the clear play actually worked...but i gained an enormous amount of respect for this person, and am very grateful to her.

I don't know where i'm going with any of this honestly.

I guess i'm saying this cuz i've had a conversation with a friend where a few good, slightly odd, but fun people were referred to as "molly mormon". This concerned me because i always thought that she was a molly mormon. and i liked it. I think the problem is that too many people look for the wrong things when they're silently judging somebody (let's face it we all do). I should have spoken up then that while being a "bad girl" may be seductive and exciting at times, it is not attractive and yields little, if any, respect from any guy.
Overall, i would consider "molly mormon" to be a great compliment. so ya.
