    • My grandfather was ordained an Elder at 15 - and married in the SLC temple the next week

      I may be small, but I'm slow.

      A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

        Well MY grandfather joined the church and went to the temple six months later to marry my grandmother. Apparently you didn't have to wait a whole year back in the 1910's.

            My Grandfather met a young woman on his mission in Michigan back in 1930 and at the end of his mission they rode the train to SLC together and got married in the temple.

            I was denied my legacy mission marriage when I was emergency transferred from Springfield to Joplin and was not allowed to write to any female within the mission boundaries.

            Maybe some other dimension...

              Lock your own heart, elder. Otherwise, the mission president will try to do it for you.

                Wow, cowboy taking a shot at the big guy. Something happen locally to bring this out or were you just a big MoTab fan?

                PS. I love the “hold-my-root beer” phrase.

                    the restraining order probably made the transfer a necessity

                    • Sacrament meeting today was almost all music. A former bishop was the lone speaker, with just a 5 minute talk. But he made a little faux pas. After saying his favorite part of Christmas as the story of Christ’s birth (duh), he then said “because we all know Santa is fake”.

                      I talked to him after the meeting, and he said he saw a concerned look on the faces of some young parents after he said it. He said he meant to say that the department store Santa’s are fake.

                      • Weirdest thing I have ever heard in church today. A French dude with a heavy accent conducting at a combined ward Christmas sacrament meeting says something to the affect of "we'll now take the sacrament. Please remember that we are promising to be kind to one another and love during the rest of the week.... So men, no beating your wives this week".

                        5ish people kind of snickered and there was several audible gasps. After the sacrament he stood back up and apologized. It was seriously awkward.

                            What am I missing? Anything to do with this “statement” released today (which doesn’t really state anything new that I can see)?

                              • Focus groups -> positive changes.

                                I'm more interested in what is motivating them to study these focus groups.

                                My hypothesis is that they are hemorrhaging $.
