I'm slow to the conversation - but I have learned to NEVER be surprised at the people who will be offended. Our bishop has gotten lessons on everything from when the flag should be flown at half mast to who should be able to bear testimony. One family is a real treat. Dad was sick, so we sent over their home teachers and check in with them nearly weekly. He was there ALL THE TIME. Really good dude. But what we get from the dad is a scathing letter about how much help his wife needed and yet they felt unsupported by the ward. A couple of years pass. They are having sprinkler trouble and could use some help. We send over a group of 3-4 guys during a service day. We get a response from the family that they are so upset to have had these guys come and help at their home. Please NEVER send more than just 1 person. Um...OK. Is there anything we can do that WON'T piss you off?Originally posted by kccougar View Post
Sorry to disappoint you - but while the exact lessons are not done years in advance, the are. In fact, they are kind of recycled from one year to the next with some slight variation.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
Nearly forgot...same treat we've gotten for the past several years in our ward. Nothing.Comment

It wasn't so bad. It didn't feel claustrophobic at all. They have mined out huge veins of quartz and left cavernous sized rooms and shafts behind. I didn't like to think too much about what was on too of us. And the guys working there now are very, very nonchalant about it all.Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostPLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

We got full size candy bars."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

I go to try while out of town and end up in a ward with two high council speakers

All this talk of patriarchy and the fathers all still get hosed."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.Comment

On vacation and went to sacrament meeting. One the speaker's topic was adultery. Oh my goodness. Dude starts off with David and Bathsheba. He then goes into his break up with his ex wife. It was just short calling her a godless whore while he was perched on the right hand of god. The meeting went over by 20 minutes. My brother in law brought his girlfriend who is a nonmember. Her first time going to church (my guess her last). Absolutely brutal. Needless to say did not stay for the three hour block.Comment
