I learned that the Book of Mormon on CD is 29 hours long, so we are going to have a ward book of mormon read-a-thon that will last 29 hours over 3 days. Uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna skip this one.

I learned that the first thing you're supposed to do when given a subject for a talk is to look that word up in the dictionary."In conclusion, let me give a shout-out to dirty sex. What a great thing it is" - Northwestcoug

We marched right down the middle of the Excalibur casino this morning in our Sunday clothes on the way to the car to go to church in Vegas. My daughter was proudly clutching her scriptures.
Kind of weird to drive past all of the strip clubs and adult megastores on your way to church. You gotta love Vegas."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

If that is the case, most people will make it through maybe 1 Nephi before realizing they still haven't even begun with Almas 63 chapters. In other words, it wont last more than 1 hour."I don't mind giving the church 10% of my earnings, but 50% of my weekend mornings? Not as long as DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket is around." - Daniel Tosh

Originally posted by ewth8tr View PostThey are apparently piping it through the speakers throughout the ward except for in the chapel where people can go to sit and quietly read. I still can't believe anyone thought this was a good idea."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

I learned that you can't judge a book by it's cover - or a speaker by her (or his) title. Stake visitors talked. 1st counselor in the Stake RS gave a talk. I've never seen her before. She looked smart (maybe even 'wicked smaht'). Her talk sucked though. Rambling. Doctrinal flaws. Questionable discussion of Temple rites (IMO - you can quote PoGP verbatim and not mention the temple, and be on perfectly solid ground. But when you say 'in the temple we learn... <quote from PoGP> you're going off into uncharted waters...). Topic was supposed to be on receiving revelation in our lives, but ended up being really about the evils of card playing and dressing immodestly. She was all over the place. It was a wild ride...
The visiting HC gave a fabulous talk, as always. He's a really likeable guy. Very doctrinally sound. Tells good stories. Very engaging speaker. I really like when he speaks.
