They had to have realized when they posted that image of the ad how sexually suggestive it is right? it literally took my brain a millisecond to think a million different sex thoughts about this image

    i think i have owned a vagina for too long to imagine anyone fingering themselves like that… lol

    but, to the point others are making - where it’s intentionally suggestive - i would wonder if the following guilt that you’re feeling is intended also - or at least, a happy coincidence. after all, christianity is in the practice of marketing guilt, eh?

    see ad > have sexual thoughts > have guilt about sexual thoughts > only jesus could help you with that, you uncontrollable scum (/s)

    Definitely aimed at heterosexual young men. Docile and relatively good looking young woman with hint of hourglass shape. Word line across her breasts and fingers pointed at her vagina. Nothing at all suggestive there /s

    This is literally by design. They are putting a load of attractive women in three ads in (Mormon appropriate) attire to try attract young men into the church.

    The reason you don’t see young handsome men in the ads for the women is because the LDS doesn’t really care about what women think. Under LDS doctrine women aren’t allowed to know their husband’s temple name, but their wife tells their husband their temple name because they believe that someone’s temple name gives someone power over them, and they believe husbands should have power over their wives.

    No I honestly can’t see a single reason why it would be sexually suggestive. The clothing is modest by modern standards, you can’t see any real definition of the shape of her body under her shirt and nothing about the face, the pose or the background says anything sexual to me at all. Honestly if you see this image as sexual I’m afraid that you think every picture of a young attractive woman is sexual.

      I thought this post was going to be about the “missionaries in your area”, as a reference to the “hot singles in your area” ads

        That did not even occur to me. Probably because you can’t even tell where her raspberry dungeon is supposed to be located. I see a torso on top of a brown load bearing column.

          Do you think the raspberry dungeon could be around her neck or something? Pretty sure its not difficult to approximate for most people unless this is somehow another black and blue dress versus white and gold dress situation

    Flirty fishing is a strat used by cults since time immemorial

    I should know, I’ve had to escape from seven of them, so far.

    That’s what they want. It’s how the prey on their followers. They take the most basic animalistic urge that all species have, the urge to procreate the species, and tell you that you’re flawed for that urge. Oh, but don’t worry, they have the only cure for your flaw. It’s why they hate the people who have come to accept their own sexualities. Those people have broken free from the trap that the evangelicals are stuck in.

    Apart from that hand placement which could be nothing, these types of ads use too many pretty young ladies for it not to be a choice. Plus “Missionaries in your area”? Come on, there’s no way a whole PR team could miss that!

      They’re Mormons.

      That, and they use “area” as a term internally to refer to how they organize ecclesiastical settlement hierarchy. The “Area 70” is basically the same as the local presiding archbishop of an archdiocese. (Not to be confused with the bishop of a Mormon ward, who’s about the same on the hierarchy as the priest of a local parish).

    I don’t blame you, I had the exact same thought. They look so dam soft and squishy, and that green colour is such a good pairing with the polished wood. I’d sit on those pews all day, goddamn.

    There is a term called “Christian sexy”. It’s getting a lady with the right face and shape in modest clothes to ride the line where they can be backup singers/promoters/on the stage somewhere and the wives don’t get jealous but the men can still fantasize.

    As we all know, sexual thoughts are UNNATURAL and IMMORAL and YOU are the ONLY one having this PROBLEM. PENISES and BOOBLES and VAGINAS exist only to be CUT OFF so you can be CLOSER WITH CHRIST

    WHY IS NOBODY LISTENING I USED CAPS /s

    Yeah that’s an attractive model used for an ad. If you don’t fantasize about them then the marketing department is monetarily screwed fucked. Product is irrelevant. Funny post tho
