I learned that the Live Nativity, a staple of the Christmas season in Las Vegas for the last 25 years, is being cancelled under the orders of the area authority.

Uh oh. I wonder how long is the reach of your AA's authority. The Calgary Nativity may be next!Originally posted by LVAllen View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so.

I never heard a reason, but have been cheering the decision for a month. Maybe someone heard that certain members of the EQ were being asked to provide 24 hour security of the venue.Originally posted by LVAllen View PostI told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.Comment

Brothers and sisters:
Under the direction of Elder Stoddard we have been requested to discontinue the nativity this year and in the future. This is due to the cost and time expenditure by the members. Thank you so much for your request and support. Have a wonderful Christmas season.
Regards,
President Syd JamesComment

That is too bad. We went to it one year when we lived in Vegas. A non-member coworker told me about it. She said she took friends and family to it every year. Maybe they are saving money to hire the next BYU football coach.Originally posted by LVAllen View Post"Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism" - Joseph Smith Jr.Comment

Ha. I've got another Syd James quote buried in this thread somewhere from a ward missionary correlation where he started a member missionary story with something along the lines of "a Hispanic boy, but otherwise a good kid" that he had introduced to the missionaries.Originally posted by LVAllen View PostI told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.Comment

It's gotta be expensive to rent goats.Originally posted by LVAllen View Post"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

They probably found out about the Las Vegas Bowl and didn't want Utah and BYU fans co-mingling at the Nativity in case someone got killed.Originally posted by LVAllen View Post*Banned*Comment
