LDS friends can be hard to gauge. Even if you're the same religion, you might have had different experiences and relate to people in a less than perfect (read Celestial) way. My husband and I have developed a sliding scale for figuring out how to speak to our friends. Here's how the ratings work:
G - No cursing, pretend you've never sinned ever.
PG- Minor curse words (crap, damn). Joke about minor sins, but never in detail.
PG-13 - Swear for emphasis, but only the ones allowed on after 9 pm TV. Invite friend to Starbucks, but get hot chocolate.
R - Curse like sailor. All topics legal and welcome. The more inappropriate the jokes, the better. Admit to watching R rated movies, dish on your glory days of sin.
I have good friends of all ratings. It's very difficult to determine the friendship's rating, and even more difficult when friend ratings change as people grow up. I aspire to be G rated all the time, but alas, I have very little self control as evidenced by this totally inappropriate quiz. I have removed the link so you cannot figure out how the ratings work, but just so you know:
| You Are 32% Pure |
 You've either done it, thought about it, or at least heard about it. Luckily, there's a few things left for you to try! |

I took the pure test, but Max was sitting next to me and I had to lie a little. I was 72 percent pure. Is it bad to lie on a purity test?
Thanks for the linkage. And the good ideas. Do you think the friends know what rating they are? Do you think they know what we really are?
I agree with the rating completely! The rated R friends are usually the most fun.
My big mistake is assuming all friends are R rated, and getting myself rated O for Offensive. If I had a nickel for every swear word I uttered in front of my friends kids...
And it's a lie that you are 32% pure. I'd say 16% I refuse to take the test because denial ain't just a river.
In light of Paige's comments lately (can you tell they're bothering me--as shown by my numerous references to them in comments in blogs all over the known world?)--I can't even comment. Please say I'm not the boring G friend!
Why did that say I was anonymous? That was me, Jessica. Now it looks like I am trying to hide my G-rating status. I'm not. Loud and Proud!
Um, our brother's girlfriend commented on you. Where's her blog so we can scope her out?
Is there a different rating for non-LDSers? And does our scale have NC-17 on it, cuz that's probably what I am. Whatevuh, I'm just so psyched because you just confirmed that yours is the coolest Morm fam I've ever met. And I also feel so much better for that time I said F--K in front of Paige.
I'm with Jessica on this one--I submit a PG-13 friend who can appreciate a good dirty-dancing class here and there can be just as much fun as an R-rated friend. I need some validation here...

what does Celia mean she commented on your blog?
I love your blog. I just found it today from linking from Celia Faes and she doesn't know me either. We have so many different LDS friends. The raunchy R rated ones are always the funnest to be around.
