Our ward has to cover nine female spots to be in compliance. Pretty funny to sit there and listen to the sisters complain about how hard it is going to be to find substitutes.
I actually support the change. Hopefully it pushes leaders to update a much more ridiculous policy: a male and female can team teach a primary class only if they’re married or siblings. I can imagine the number of affairs were sparked by a sensuous retelling of the 2000 Stripling Warriors to a group of 7 year olds.

EQ looks to be a real slogfest these days, particularly since someone has decided that every week we need to sit in a circle."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Interesting, our ward kept the old EQ president and he choose new councilors - all elders. No HPs in leadership
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."

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

Our stake retained the existing EQ presidencies as previously constituted until they can redo each one. So it's all elders in leadership for now."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Originally posted by Moliere View PostMy ward kept the HPGL by making him the EQP. He then called two HP as counselors. I think the secretary is an elder...but I honestly can’t remember for sure. It’s basically been a HP take over both in leadership and teaching...oh and in commenting too

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Our new EQP was the old scoutmaster (he's been a bishop in another state). His 1C is an early-morning seminary teacher who was previously on the high council. 1C is a good dude, but his wife is an anti-pornography nut. Every lesson, every VT visit, etc. circles around to porn. Her son's Eagle Project was a conference on porn and online predation. I feel bad for 1C because I'm pretty sure his wife's crusade is based on their family's experiences. Either that or he's married to a sociopath. A no-win situation.
2C was WML and is an elder. Strange guy with strange kids and a strange wife. But he's a workhorse. He'll do anything you ask him to.
Secretary is probably my best friend in the ward. We've both been in YM since we moved in, so I don't know if he's a HP or Elder.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

This thread has become very boring and all these posts about presidencies have nothing to do with teaching in church today. Please show some respect to the dearly departed Pheidippides and make this thread both interesting and about teaching in church.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression
