I learned in church today

[hostile]

What church did you go to that taught that?

It was probably a high councillor talk.

It is a practical rule of nature CJ. I still wonder how islamacists ever get lucky given how they abuse women.

Hung around the pool, checked out Palm Springs, then watched team USA. About to head out to dinner. First time here and it's great to see a town in the California desert where everything seems to get watered at least three times a day. What drought?!

Congrats on doing perhaps the only possible thing more boring than going to church on a Sunday afternoon.

I pulled up carpet strip, removed baseboard, and scraped concrete slab for 5 hours yesterday afternoon.

I stand corrected.

I didn't technically learn this today, but sitting through the first half of a combined PH/RS 5th Sunday lesson on Family History gave birth to a question. Now that gay marriage is legally available to more and more states, how long will it take the church to modify their family history charts to allow for recording a gay marriage? My guess is just north of "far too long."

Had a wonderful day at Church. Our ward while not perfect is totally awesome. We have two converts and I've watched their lives totally change for the better over the last year. I shed a few tears today thinking about where they were and how positive they are today about the future.

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.

Sorry, you lost me right there.

We had one talk today where Walt Disney was mentioned at least six times and what a wonderful person he was and a second talk about over coming anxiety. Christ was never talked about once during either one of these talks, in fact I can't remember the last time I heard a talk about Christ in Sacrament meeting. A non-member visiting our ward for the first time would come out of there wondering what the hell that was. If I ever decided never to attend a meeting again it wouldn't be because of doctrine, it would be because I just don't get anything from the meetings. I try and listen to the talks and get involved with the lessons but I just come away with nothing. I feel like I attend just for the sake of attending and I've been doing it all my life but I want more from it. Does anybody else go through this?

Ha! Was with the inlaws (very TBM) who like to attend even when on vacation.

Honestly everyone goes through this.

Our 5th Sunday lesson was a pathways infomercial. The minute everyone sat down and figured out what the topic was, there was a clear sense of "how do I get out of here?" in the room. I felt like I was back in Orlando sitting through a time share presentation so that I could get discount tickets on Disney World. Very odd choice for a 5th Sunday, but I guess they figured they had a captive audience.

Okay. I'm bite. What the hell is pathways?
