I learned in church today

[Pelado]

I learned that Valiant 8 primary kids will continue asking "Why did you rip your shirt?" repeatedly after an object lesson on Captain Moroni and the title of liberty.

Emily Belle Freeman’s talk was in eq. Sacrament and authority talked about. Talking about how Jesus gave us authority to sons to do his work. Someone said in his deacons quorum years ago if Jesus came to Sacrament meeting Aaron Priesthood would sit in congregation and Jesus would take care of the sacrament himself. Didn’t he ask his apostles in both worlds to distribute the sacrament? Would need there help.

That primary sharing time is way more laid back than it was in the 80s. Kids running amok. Siblings in physical fights. Learning songs I've never heard before. I should have been born 40 years later.

And much shorter. We only get 20-25 minutes for our lesson each week. And we pass out treats/prizes pretty much every week. Being a Primary kid is a good gig nowadays.

I found the following passage this week's CFM lesson interesting:

Why are there various accounts of the First Vision?

During his life, Joseph Smith recorded his experience in the Sacred Grove at least four times, often using a scribe. In addition, several accounts were written by other people who heard Joseph talk about his vision. Although these accounts differ in some details, depending on the author, audience, and setting, they are otherwise consistent. And each account adds details that help us better understand Joseph Smith’s experience, just as each of the four New Testament Gospels helps us better understand the Savior’s ministry.

Excluding the differences, the accounts are consistent!

Acknowledge differences between the accounts, don't discuss them. And don't actually answer the question heading the passage.

is that the lesson written for primary kids? If so, I can imagine a lot of eyes glazing over. But I guess if you start associating “different accounts’ with ‘consistent with each other’ young it will make the desired impression.

That’s an awfully cynical response. It does address the question, albeit briefly. What were you hoping for? A long apologetics essay?

In the lesson manual it does have a link to the gospel topics essay. So they aren't ignoring it.

Pelado was a goober and screwed up the quote function so now every quoted response is also jacked up.

Ha. I think I fixed them all.

The same Come Follow Me manual/lesson is used for all levels now, including Primary.

We didn't mention the differing accounts of the first vision in our Primary class.

I was surprised to see it addressed in the lesson at all, honestly.

I can see how my earlier post sounded cynical. I didn't feel that the passage was responsive to the question heading the passage (Why?). Had the heading been a bit different, the passage probably wouldn't have piqued my interest nearly as much, which led to my elevated scrutiny.

I apologize for any damage I caused and assure you it was not intentional. I do, however, take issue with your use of the past tense, "was", in your assertion.

I stand corrected, sir

Your primary kids thank you, for now. But maybe not in 10 years when they hear about it from somewhat else
