Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I learned that, at least for a nearby Welfare ranch operation, the calves that are born there do not get shipped to a Welfare feedlot to be raised and eventually butchered, contributing to the Storehouse as a commodity. That used to happen but now, they get sold for cash. I guess Church Welfare's position is that you can buy anything in the world with money.

After taking the bread today, I had a coughing fit that lasted until the water circulated. I dont know what it is about non-glutin bread, but it does not agree with me. After church I asked the bishopric if I could bring some Grandma Sycamore's bread and put it in a plastic baggie, for just myself. You should have seen their faces.

Today I learned that the sacrament prayers do not have to be word perfect if the priest is mentally challenged (or whatever the current politically correct term is for "retarded" these days) and the bishop decides that having them participate - there were two of them - is more important than perfect wording.
Half of the congregation wasn't sure when to say "amen" for one of them.
This was in a ward in Cache Valley, Utah the day after my granddaughter was baptized and confirmed by my son.

You asked, I'll answer. Saying someone is "retarded" is not just politically incorrect. It's more than that. You just don't do it. That's like saying that "not" calling a black person the n-word is just being politically correct. (wink-wink) That's not true - you just don't do it. Period. Regardless of political affiliation. Mentally challenged is insulting too by the way.
If you feel the need to comment you would say "brain injured."Last edited by clackamascoug; 03-11-2019, 10:55 AM.

When I blessed the Sacrament the first time, one of the sisters in the ward walked to the front and told the Bishop that I said it wrong. He did not hear anything wrong, nor did anyone else, but I recited the prayer a second time. She apologized to me after the meeting, but emphasized how important it is to be spoken correctly.

Originally posted by clackamascoug View PostThere's been a less stringent approach to Sacrament prayers the last few years... Bishop's are taking into consideration the abilities of the prayer giver, and their mental toughness to stand real time correction in front of two hundred people. Weaker prayer givers are given a wide berth because it's a worse option to have to sit through six failed prayer attempts and then ultimately surrender to a bad prayer anyway.

The Spirit told me loud and clear every single time I ever witnessed a Bishop make a poor kid repeat a prayer that the Bishop was being unkind and stupid under the influence of foolish traditions.
Sorry — just being honest!

The pioneers are rolling over in their graves at how easy we have it today in the church. I seriously wonder if this religion can still sufficiently produce the faith necessary for salvation."Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism" - Joseph Smith Jr.
