I learned in church today

Get it on MP3 and speed up the playback. I bet you can do it in 22 hours...

I tried doing this with movies on the laptop. Then I realized I was dreaming in double time and started talking too fast. I stopped before I went crazy. Er, completely crazy.

THose weren't dreams, they were extractions in progress. The slow speed is the only real dream.

You should have gone to Donut or falafel's ward.

Maybe I did.

By the way, DH has excellent restaurant advice for Vegas.

Has to be both... Pray tell, fus. Give us some more context...

We were talking about the celestial family construct and the proper roles of men and women. A gentlemen in the class said that women need to be in the home to give children the proper love and emotional caring. After this a brother commented that he is scared by the woman CEO and thinks most are evil because, 'to make it in business today you have to be cold hearted and a woman would have to be much more cold hearted than a man because, well she's a woman.'

When we left my wife said, I feel like we were in the Hoy Tub Time Machine and woke up in 1954.

My ex-Bishop subbed in Sunday School on Sunday. He said he didn't want to bring politics into it, and them compared Obama to Jeroboam.

This is wrong on various levels, but I will mention one.

To make it in business today you have to be cold hearted. That generalization though I don't think is too uncommon throughout our culture. How often do we hear about men pursuing wealth instead of the "more important" things. When Andy Reid's boys were in trouble a lot of CBers blamed Reid's pursuit of the $$ for the kids problems. I even hear from the pulpit condemnation of the pursuit of material things.

At the same time we pay honor to our people who succeed financially. Without them, how much of the "work" would go forward.

Buildings are named after the Marriott's, Huntsman and Miller's of the church.

Thread winner thus far.

Reminds me of this tee shirt:

All of the apostles have physically seen Jesus else they wouldn't be able to be special witnesses of Christ.

I don't remember when I stopped believing that, but I know as teenager I couldn't think of what else a "special witness" could possibly be.

IN my favorite BKP talk he sort of said that it isn't necessarily the case, as far as I heard it.

yeah, isn't that what's taught at seminary, through the missionary discussions and in the gospel principles manual? That seems to be one of those fundamental differences that makes Mormonism unique. Ordinary average guys who speak with Jesus every once in a while.

I was told that Elder Scott said in the WWTB that "HE KNEW" the Savior.

He did in fact say that. I am not sure exactly what he meant by "knew" but it was quite comforting for me to hear him say it.

Yes, this was brought up along with BRM's last talk as well. We were taught that the brethren have seen the Lord, but they can't tell us outright (not sure why but I'm glad we didn't go into this) so they use cryptic-type messages to convey this fact.....good thing Joseph didn't take this route.

He's the worst at doing this. If you've seen him, just say it, RGS! He came to my dad's stake 7 months ago and made similar statements, which got the stake buzzing. He gives me the creeps, though, so I may be biased against him.
