If we did away with our byzantine physical expectations then more of the womenfolk could qualify to be those Generals and all our problems would be solved!

Official letter from Church HQ read over the pulpit in Utah wards today. Basically said that the church is still against gay marriage and they will not perform gay marriages and nobody should use a church building for a gay reception.

Here is the letter:

SALT LAKE CITY —
Following recent court actions bearing on same-sex marriage, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles today sent the following instructions and guidance to congregational leaders throughout the United States. Leaders were asked to share this information with their members in appropriate settings.

Looks like our bishop read selected parts of it. Including the ban on gay receptions.

adults and youth alike were advised today to refrain from taking, sending, or receiving "selfies." An additional admonition was given to YM, that they would refrain from taking, sending, or receiving "welfies," which apparently are selfies taken while working out.

Also, usage of the word "selfie" has increased 17,000% over the last year.

This isn't really something I learned in church but I'd really like to know why I got a letter from the church stating I donated $300 to them in 2013 including my membership record number. I resigned and had my name removed from their records 5 years ago.

Looks like a calamity of errors. One, a ward clerk did not get around to cleaning out the cobwebs from the membership records. Two, a clerk entered a donation to you instead of the person above or below your record in the computer. (it happens) The third error would be if you don't report the error so the poor sucker who really donated would get credit.

As you know, in volunteer callings, the efficiency factor of any given ward is about 50%. Our ward is about 40% effective.

Lol. Next time I work out I will send the wife a welfie. Was this specific to the ward or is this church wide counsel?

Was this an opinion that someone offered, or an observation?

My observation that I kept to myself given that a good friend is our new GD teacher. It felt more like a business presentation and really restricted the class since everything had to be brought back to the topic on the next slide.

Some people show their concern for the lost sheep by praying for them. Others pay tithing for them. Those $300 are saying "You are loved and missed. Come home, brother."

Did they confuse the U&T with the liahona?

He was pretty sure it was the U&T and several HP nodded their head in agreement.

I've actually thought about it because I don't like to write on the board. It would probably be just one slide for the whole class. But if it were on a one-eye, that wouldn't work too well in a church class.
