Taken from a lesson of the Law of Chastity, I suppose this makes sense, if you're married. If you are single, it's basically a big "neener neener nee-ner" to you from all the married folk you know. Also, he probably could have sprung for a rock, since he obviously didn't on the flowers. And now, the second picture:
This is going to be one depressing lesson. The topic, The Postmortal Spirit World. Let's examine. No dad, three depressed looking children, and a mom - in a wheelchair. Wow. As Mormons, we tend to take a pretty positive look on the life after this one, but this picture is one big downer. Props for getting bow ties into the shot though.Anyway, I'm looking forward to using this manual for the next few, since it's a really great way to get down to the basics. And the occasional chuckle over a seemingly out of place photo ain't so bad either.

Whitney and I were kind of joking about the photos in the manual yesterday. We were talking about how awkward those photo shoots must be..."now, you are really depressed. We want tears!"
While I love the new pictures, I already miss some of the old black & white pictures. Remember the one with the boy crying in the bishop's office?
Man, that wheelchair is the real kicker.
One thing I'll say for the new manual: the people in the photos are much more multicultural now. Mormons: We're Not Just White, You Know.
I admire your positive attitude. I got the manual and I was like, "WHAT??? This is the same friggin' manual they've been using for years in Gospel Principles. What a cop out!"
You think they could have sprung for some more happy pics from getty images or something...
