I certainly don't use one. :) Keep it. Speaking of which, Don, did you ever come across that letter regarding callings not being withheld from beard growers? You don’t need an excuse to wear a beard.

Keep it.

Speaking of which, Don, did you ever come across that letter regarding callings not being withheld from beard growers?

Sincerely apologized--not a hint of humor. As if the beard made him less righteous or able to convey love & the Spirit to the audience... *sigh* I say keep it, Bret!

You should have included facial hair questions:) I'm looking forward and yet not looking forward to church this next week when the bishopric sees that stake play is over and that i've decided to keep my beard because I like the look of it.

Self-selected surveys are not scientific. The questions/answers leave too much to interpretation. ??? What’s the purpose of this survey? Self-selected surveys are not scientific.

As a kid, in an active home, I used to drink decaf Sanka in front of my parents all the time and not a peep. Now, I hear the "its not the caffeine" bit. These issues should really be addressed.

Some answers have changed for the more conservative over the years, others for the more liberal side. What would be really interesting is if you could get a set of bishops or stake presidents, or mission presidents or area authorities, or ultimately the apostles, to take a survey of this nature and see how the results fall out.

We don't watch TV on Sundays - except at 8:00pm when the family gather around to watch the Simpsons. I had a hard time with the TV one.
