    I am wondering if they are going to change things so that you no longer do regular weddings in the temple and now do sealing after a civil ceremony like they do outside the US. Would make sense.
    WTF? Effing millennials. I could have had a choose your own mission experience and hit skins with Gidget before marriage? Not fair.

      I wonder if the church would then get out of the marrying business altogether? If not, it doesn't take any heat off of them regarding not allowing gays to marry, and it will almost ensure that anyone called as a bishop will never have a free Saturday in June-Sept. for 5 years.

        That was my thought too. A step to insulate the temple ordinance from the pressure of same sex marriage.

          Yep. That would be my guess.

          Or it could be that the person in charge of scheduling is on vacation until next week.

            It would acknowledge the fact that "marriage" was a word whose definition was lost to religion a long time ago. Temple sealing can be defined for whatever purpose the church wants. Baby steps.

                Boom. Two hour church.

                Say what you want about Pres. Nelson, but he has certainly turned Saturday Conference into must see LDS TV.

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

                      LOL.

                      Congrats, all church goers here! That is kind of a big deal.

                            Pretty sure you mockingly commented that 2 hour church would not happen. If I'm mistaken, i apologize in advance.

                              Lol. You are mistaken.

                                Think of how many fewer buildings they need if they can push 2 wards through every 2 hours or so.
