I learned in church today

[RC Vikings]

Which begs the question, which Bishop has jurisdiction over the non-member deceased in order to grant approval for the grave dedication? Does the church go by the location of the house where the non-member/deceased lived? The location of the house of the non-member's family or extended family if they are LDS (what if the LDS survivors of the deceased live in different wards?) The location of the cemetery or grave site of the deceased?

If this Bishop jurisdiction question was not addressed, I think another priesthood lesson is in order, complete with the SP with handbook in hand.

This was exactly the kind of questions that were being asked. Finally when we made it through this along comes the question "if two missionaries in the middle of the nowhere and came upon a family that hadn't made it to church in years and they wanted to partake of the sacrament would it be okay for these two elders to prepare and give them the sacrament". This man had done it on his mission years ago and told of the good feelings he had doing it and the SP told him that was a no-no without the ok of the person over that area. I can see some need for order but it all just seemed so over the top.

In HP group today someone brought up dedicating non-member familie's graves and they talked about the do's and don't for over twenty minutes. Our SP would pull out his handbook and read how everything needed to go down. I sat there and just thought to myself that I bet the Pharisees couldn't have been this caught up in the do's and don'ts on anything.

1. Marching in a protest parade is the same thing as rioting
2. Men don't have the patience for mothering
3. Men were given the Priesthood, Women were given Motherhood


Those were all from Sacrament talks. Then in EQ we got treated to about 15 minutes of group humblebragging. The lesson was on living prophets and the instructor asked if anybody had personal experiences with prophets. Humblebraggers, start your engines! He finally had to cut it off so he could move on with the lesson.

you will be forever blessed to have lived in such a fantastic ward. When you report for duty in the CK, and tell them what ward you are from a hush will fall over every hall, every corridor in heaven and all in attendance will bow at your presence.

I was told by the missionaries that h fast of 2 meals / 24 hours was "modern revelation". When I asked which revelation and b which prophet, they just looked at me funny.

3. Men were given the Priesthood, Women were given Motherhood

So, men were also given "fatherhood."

Men-2

"Since women are daughters of Our Heavenly Father, it's impossible to offend a woman without offending Heavenly Father."

I have a mark on my lip from biting it hard enough to stifle my laughter.

nuggets like that are worth a dozen boring sacrament meetings

I learned today that a tea party gathering is a great place to do missionary work thanks to the work of Glenn Beck.

I also learned it's a good place to pick up hot girls.

One of our speakers today almost used the word "uterus" in his talk but he chickened out at the let second. Now he's regretting not doing it.

Hot crazy girls. I can't decide if this is good or bad.

That's funny. Talk about the perfect setup.

Damn, I wish I were there. I could have recounted the tale of the close relative of one prophet who cost my family six figures.

Seriously. If a CUF'er was the instructor I would think it was humblebrag troll.

For the 12th time in the alst 16 years I did not attend church on mother's day. Every year we go on a camping trip with many of our ward friends. We only go to church if a) we happen to be meeting at 1pm that year and b) we are camping close enough to home that there is time to return adn get cleaned up first.
