this weekend

[-Soph-]

idk if its a good idea or not, i've been invited to go to payson or something.. on vacation with my friend, one problem though, her family is going to be there and they are all strong mormons (for those who don't know its a religion)
they don't like saying "oh my god" "what the hell", which I say frequently and could pose a problem... i'll also have to follow all of their rules of their religion when i'm with them, and theres a not, like, no caffeine, very family orientated, no alcohol, your not allowed to show your shoulders, above knees, stomach, not allowed to wear bikinis etc, I just don't want to forget something and offend them ..

do you think its a good idea going?

I'd think you better not go. Looking at the restrictions, this is what a typical British/American will do. If you do still plan on going, get your friend, or tell your friend's parents that you might accidentally break some of this rules, to get them mentally prepared. Also tell them to remind you if they see something that is against their religion.

Hope i've helped :)

i probably wouldnt bother, could cause too much hassle...

Dunno really, I'm going to Wales this weekend to stay with a friend, and I'm worried enough about her parents as it is, if they were strict Mormons I'd definitely have no idea what to do.

I wouldnt bother :D

[the wombats]

i wouldn't go tbh. that is very strict. i bet you'd probs break them all if you went?

To be honest, look on the positive side and it could turn out to be fun.
Firstly, you will be with your friend, therefore thats good as it is, then you will be living inside a different culture which you are not used to, this means you can learn about it more and also will give you an idea of what your mates life style is. The parents would obviously bare in mind that your not a mormon and should not be offended if somthing slips away out of your mouth and stuff.

If you feel that you might let them down by doing somthing kind of offensive to them then I wouldnt consider going, however if your up for the things I said above, I'de say go for it, it can turn out to be better than you think. :)

if u dont wanna go then dont go. if u wanna go, go.

[Eamonn]

I would personally go, it isn't going to be forever and you might enjoy yourself :)

[VPSwow]

Although they follow that religion i dont think they would make you, fair enough saying hell or god as that is offending them but i think you should be able to wear what you want.

Maybe if you talk to your friend about this :D

[Bomb-Head]

If I was you, I would just go :)

You will get the oppurtunity to experience another culture, and herparent will know you are not a Mormon so won't mind if you do something 'wrong' every now and then :)

Besides, you will have a laugh with your friend !

Wher bouts in Wales ? ;o

If i was you i would go. There not too outragous rules, in some countrys iv been too they hav had similar rules and its just about respecting other peoples cultures but remember they have to respect your culture to. Your there guest so you should abide by there rules kind of thing but they shouldnt try and push ther beliefs on you.

If i were you i would stay but if you are made to go then just try and avoid them or something or just don't do the things you do in front of them.:)

[Jcshua]

OMG I LIVE IN CARDIF.
Are you going to be going out at all?

[harmony]

i think you should go, it could be alot of fun.. is your friend also a mormon ? if not, just make sure you don't do/say anything offensive while you're around your friends parents.. because then it won't matter. :)

[4:20]

I wouldn't go, words like that are part of my every day vocabulary :P
But its your decision so if you don't feel comfortable with it, then don't go with them.

I went anyway, it turned out to be fun! :]!

I only said "oh my god" once, and I don't think anyone noticed.
