    I most want at least one of my kids to become a child actor and send some of that $$$$ my way.

            If you have to explain it... it wasn't worth it.

              Actually I could see that.

              Have you noticed the grey font creep around here?

                  The joke probably wasn't funny, but it also wasn't explained.

                      I had no idea my post would cause such cognitive dissonance for so many.

                      I assure you this is the real list, and that my bishopric is 100% on board.

                      Whether or not the stake presidency has gone off the rails, I can't say.

                        Had bishopric meeting last night and haven't heard anything about this list.

                          Maybe the bishop and his counsellors are keeping it from you for some reason
                          "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. Uchtdorf

                            Maybe. If they continue to keep it from me, I wouldn't be disappointed.

                              Our bishop attended a meeting a few months ago with GAs (Elder Oaks was there) and one message was that bishoprics need to "take sacrament meeting back," meaning that they have to make sure the meetings are good, avoid delegating the meeting's content, and so forth. So this may be a particular SP's application of that general guidance.
