        They did not reveal all the details of their nefarious plan. They just mentioned it. In March I will return and report.

            As long as the above and beyond Sabbath questions replace all of the above and beyond garment questions, I'm cool with that.

                I'll bet you anything that the how-to-wear-the-garment lecture was added by BKP.

                    When they get to that question, they will ask it word for word but with a special emphasis.

                            That's funny, especially since it flies in contrast to the New Testament and Book of Mormon teachings that a rich man cannot be saved.
                            "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 poverty is a sin in the sense that a very wealthy society allows it to happen.

                                    The guy actually said he'd been thinking about writing a book titled "The Sin of Poverty." I can't even remember what his assigned SM topic was...clearly "the prosperity gospel" was his pet topic and he was going to shoehorn it in no matter what it took. He followed up the original statement with something like "if you're poor you can't build up the kingdom," as obviously big financial contributions are the only way to do that. First time in a very long time I've seen it necessary for the bishop to get up and provide correction after a SM talk. I was already really struggling with a lot of things in the new ward I moved into about 6 months ago...let's just say this talk didn't exactly make me feel better about things.

                                            I was sinning for many years

                                            But I'm not sinning any more!

                                                Could you explain what you mean that a very wealthy society allows poverty to happen?

                                                    I can only imagine what someone in the ward who is actually poor was thinking.

                                                        Good on the bishop. I don't know that I've ever seen a bishop correct a speaker after the fact, no matter how crazy the doctrine that's been preached. Maybe that's a good sign for your ward.
