Heard this in Stake Priesthood Meeting. If a meeting is to end at 9:30 it better end at 9:30 because person may have date with wife at 9:45. Respect that time. I think ETB as SP had rule meetings over by 9:00 so people can see kids before they go to bed.
Brings me to another point I have seen people in articles on sabbath say not to schedule so many meetings there is no time for meditating, family togetherness or Christian service to sick and aged shut ins. Why early morning counsel meetings and occasional firesides at night. Don't have meeting after meeting in addition to the Sunday block. Meetings and interviews can take all of a leaders time on Sunday. Choir practice can add to that. Probably defeats purpose of sabbath. It is not day of rest for most lds people.
Brings me to another point. One of my Aunts married out of the church. Last minute husband said kid could not geet baptized at 8. Gave in at 12. I went with the missionaries a couple of times and baptized him. He was ordained a deacon when I had youth committe meeting. I went to his ordination. After could not find meeting.
I was second assistant. No Laurel or Priest was there. Brother came back and said youth leader was Hillarying that we had plenty of time to play baskeetball and school activities but could not go to meeting.
I should of maybe made better effort to find meeting. But 10 minutes in ordination besides visiting with people there was more productive than meeting. Not like I missed meeting to see more nfl or nba. Had greater place to be. Had I known others may not have attended I may have made better effort to attend. Too many meetings can be a detriment I think.
