    World Wide Leadership Training

    As a people....we have our priorities wrong.

    A former member of our SP (15 years ago) passed away last week. His funeral is scheduled for this Saturday.

    Our Stake just sent out an e-mail letting everyone know.

    They also let everyone know that the family is aware and is understanding that Priesthood leadership wont be in attendance because of the WWLT.

    Bull Shit.

      Friday DewTour and IceCube concert.

      Saturday movie with the wife and BYU game.

      I agree the weekend is looking spectacular. What is world wide leadership training anyways? For some reason I am happy I have never received an invitation.

        I will also be skiing on Saturday, we have so much in common. Although I will be skiing until about 9:00 PM then watching fireworks. On second thought we don't have that much in common.

                I've never seen one on the slopes. Are they even allowed at Utah resorts?

                  Someone in the ski thread said they saw one at Brighton. They aren't for big vertical drops, better for lighter slope.

                    Be fair. As a PRESIDENCY, THEY have their priorities wrong. I have to think most people would understand that this is crap.

                      If I understand correctly, the WWLT is televised on a loop (at least it was last time they had this which seriously was only like three months ago). There are several times they can open up the church and choose to watch it. I would think they could try to find a time around the funeral.
                      What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                        Although I agree, having the leadership of the church setting the wrong (IMO) example is problematic. More and more people will now think the leadership is crap and won't care for one iota what they say.

                        I believe this is true, but it is also available online to everyone. So basically these leaders could attend the funeral during the day and then that night watch the WWT on their computer at home. I'm not showing up at the stake center because I have other commitments.

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. Uchtdorf

                          I've been to numerous LDS funerals, for people old and young, including three in the last month and don't recall seeing any members of the SP presidency attend, leadership trainings or not.
                          Everything in life is an approximation.

                            Were these people members of a former stake presidency?

                            I went to one of a member of a former temple presidency. Every temple president ever for that temple was in attendance and spoke (just 3 of them). It was a great show of love and support for the grieving widow.

                              Yeah it's being broadcast every two or three hours. The Stake could reschedule their broadcast if they wanted to. I am not sure that it will be online later. I have not seen anything yet regarding that.
