CUF is much more interesting. Yesterday we were talking about the 8th article of faith and the accuracy of the Bible. They were talking about these tiny little changes and I was their thinking to myself how much more interesting it would have been to have waup, pell, Dan, LA, SU, niku, 71, creek, Jay, Scottie, Indy, etc in there. Frankly I get very bored in there listening to these old men give the same tired answers to questions I've heard a thousand times.

I'm with you. My HP group has really gone downhill in the last year or two. This new simplified manual hasn't helped things much."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Sorry I wouldn't be any good in your HP group. I only say stuff when I know I won't get my a$$ kicked later by my wife for ruining the family name.Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostComment

I feel bad for HPs sometimes. They've been over the correlated material so many times that they are just dying for something other than the Gospel Principles book to peak their interest.Originally posted by RC Vikings View Post
You should have brought up J-E-D-P and the scholarly reasons that Moses didn't write the Bible. I'm sure they would have loved that."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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. UchtdorfComment

Yep...that and Gospel Doctrine, with the new manuals are pretty drab and very high level.
It totally bugs me when the instructor leads you up to the question, fully explaining the answer as he's asking the question. It's so mind numbing that I start drifting off thinking about all sorts of things besides the lesson.
HP group is a bit better, just because a few gems are thrown out now and again to keep people awake...but, ugh."Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."
Hmm... Good motivation for me to remain active I guess.Comment

I used to think when I was teaching (not HPG) that it was impolitic to ever say that someone's answer is wrong. I would say stuff like, "Interesting take," or "that gives us something to reflect on, I was thinking a little more like..."
Now I just say it. "Wrong." "Nope." "Maybe in your world." I've found that if you laugh when you say it no one takes offense, but it grabs the attention of the class. Just say someone's answer is wrong and everyone is off racing to give the right answer.
Now if I could just stop giggling in response to the really preposterous comments.Comment

I woke up in Sunday School to someone talking about the exact location of Atlantis. I went back to sleep.Comment
