I learned in church today

[Moliere]

I always wear a suit, rarely a white shirt or tie.

I never wear a suit but pretty much always a white shirt and tie. I'm the yin to your yang.

[San Juan Sun]

I still rock a short white some of the time. I used to do it because it was awesome and comfortable. But now that I know that it tick's DH off, I'll be doing it weekly. Pics to follow!

[Sullyute]

I will add another experience... I went to an early morning stake priesthood meeting on "respecting women" (by the way, leaving your wife home alone to get all of your kids ready for church on the morning of a baby blessing is not a great idea, even if you are learning how to respect her more). Young men were encouraged to come to this meeting as well. So they showed a slide show of pictures taken of the girls in the stake (in full pioneer garb) while on trek. They talked about how girls are not objects and that we shouldn't look at them as objects but as friends and daughters of God, etc. etc. Later on in the meeting a counselor in the stake presidency gets up and restarts the slide show of pictures and says these girls are much better to look at than me so I will run this duing my talk. I got a laugh out of the irony of that statement.

By all means. This is the kind of fashion I've learned to expect from doctors. I won't name names.

This creeps me out on a lot of levels.

Leave wuap out of this.

Same here. May be overloading on the yin.

I used to go with the short white pretty regularly. A few years ago, though, I stopped buying the short sleeves since they don't work in the temple.

I add to the yang and always wear a suit. I usually don't go with the white shirt but usually always wear a tie. (A bolo tie counts, right?)

I love this line from the CH:

"After a priesthood holder hands a sacrament tray to a member, others may pass the tray from one to another for convenience."

Well, it's hard to imagine any of the other alternatives being quite as convenient as handing the tray to the person next to you.

But we don't need to be commanded in all things, dammit!

Apparently, we do. Here's another helpful clarification (CH 21.4.8): "Church members should not engage in any form of Satan worship [...]."

Good thing that was spelled out for us. You have to imagine that language came after some exasperated 70 or Area Authority finally went to the Q12 and said, "Look, I keep getting this question over and over again. Is there a policy on this or what?"

After watching the new temple movie, I, for one, am in the clear there. Phew!

Yes, and we should just have the 12-year-old girls stand up while they do so.

Instant deaconesses.

[Non Sequitur]

...I was only a deacon, but I remember there were two priests in our ward at the time who, mainly to spite my dad, wore all black every week when they blessed the sacrament (they were NKOTB wannabes, with baggy satin dress shirts, 5-pleat slacks, and black ties).

When I was a priest, I used to sport a black silk shirt to church. I wore it with my tan corduroy suit, no tie, gold chain. I wasn't trying to make a statement...it was the 70's.

It is the only tie that does.
