I learned that a great way to end a lesson is with a fire alarm.

iPads were invented so missionaries could use them. Technology is invented by Americans because God wants it that way."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon

Let me guess. You started holding firesides the night before, and suddenly things started looking up. Right?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostLast year we had 9 am church and attendance was around 65-70%. Lowest in the stake.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

Not directly. But technically you could get your endorsement pulled by your Bishop for chronic non-attendance. I imagine in practice it rarely happens and would depend on the individual Bishop.Originally posted by creekster View PostIs that true? Do you get kicked out for not going to meetings?

I've never seen it actually happen, but the bishop I had when I was engaged threatened our ward that if we didn't go to sacrament and PH in our home ward we wouldn't get recommends to be sealed. I guess there was a problem with some of the men/women attending the ward of their future spouse. Honestly, MJ and I had no problem being apart for 3 hours of church so the thought of attending together never crossed our minds.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View PostNot directly.

I was told by my BYU Bishop that he would not sign my sealing recommend or next year's EE if I didn't start attending my assigned ward. I was attending my former ward/fiancee's ward where we first met and I had since moved out of to be closer to campus. It wasn't a matter of being apart for 3 hours, it was more an opportunity to be together for a couple of hours and having other time available outside of the church meeting bloc. Because of class schedules, work schedules, and study time, Sunday was the best day to spend time together and that was difficult with having 6+ hours taken up by each having to attend our own ward. Worlds without end.Originally posted by Moliere View PostI've never seen it actually happen, but the bishop I had when I was engaged threatened our ward that if we didn't go to sacrament and PH in our home ward we wouldn't get recommends to be sealed.

It's been a long time since I used church wifi. It's always slow since everyone else is on it. Just use your own data. Problem solved.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostWho decided to start blocking Twitter and Instagram on church wifi???
Harder and harder to be an active member all the time."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Recently there was a blow up within the ward choir between the choir director and one of the other women. Comments were made, feelings were hurt, etc. It ended up fairly nasty. Last night the Bishop talked to the choir member who has now stopped attending. She feels that the choir director is clearly at fault because previous choir directors all accepted her suggestions.
