My faith is gone. Napper's doesn't hunt. Extinguished."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead. -

Well technically I didn't learn this in church today, because I'm at work and couldn't make it to Stake Conference. Apparently my brother was just called as the stake president in our stake. More incentive to behave myself I guess. So how long do I get before he decides to give me a calling?Comment

It is inspiring to think that but for the church your brother would probably be in prison. Good for him.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

Hot chocolate is against the Word of Wisdom, which is why we should wait until it's lukewarm to drink."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. UchtdorfComment

It was serious and there are some other gems. Unfortunately I was late to class so I probably missed the best ones.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

"You've got to start walking to get where you're going, even though you're lost."
That was the only note-worthy thing about church today.Comment

There's a guy in my neighborhood/ward who is pretty progressive, although he thinks he is very progressive. He has often confided in me & others that he is hesitant to share his doubts or issues with the church publicly, for fear of undermining authority, damaging testimonies, etc.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
So, the Elders Quorum President gave a lesson today that essentially addressed this guy's reservations directly.
He talked about how "belief" is a slippery idea, especially when we use words like "know" to express it, and then basically said that many people in the church don't believe a lot of of the "facts" as the church teaches them, but they believe the church helps them approach Truth - as they see it and as well as they can.
It was a pretty profound idea and edgy to basically challenge anyone who thinks they "know", telling them that nobody really "knows" and that everyone is just hoping really hard. So, in the meantime we shouldn't judge people who question the church, since everyone is in the dark to some degree. The people questioning church teachings are just more comfortable with that realization.
On the other hand, he cautioned the questioners against judging the die-hard faithful for being non-thinking followers. Everyone should be asking questions, he said. Whether people are looking for their answers in prayer or through academic research, it doesn't really matter. It's the questions that matter, not the answers.
I was impressed."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

That's a quote I heard during church."I don't mind giving the church 10% of my earnings, but 50% of my weekend mornings? Not as long as DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket is around." - Daniel ToshComment

I also learned that stake conference is the same weekend I'll be out of town on vacation. I thought I was going to miss a normal Sunday and now it turns out I'll only miss stake conference
