    Do people do this? I haven't seen it and it would be pretty obvious most of the time, I would think.

      Never during an endowment session, but almost always during sealings or initiatories.

      There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        This would require me owning a smartphone.

          Gotta think one of the temple people would come tell you to knock it off.

            I always bring mine with me into the font for baptisms for the dead.

              My second anointing was done over FaceTime.
              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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

                A counselor in our stake presidency told us yesterday that they've received text messages during stake conference from members in the audience. When questioned, he declined to report the content. I'm thinking something like, "Wrap it up."

                This is just a higher tech version of the note a branch president near Vienna slipped me shortly after I began my talk: "Zwei Minuten, ENDE!"

                  Me too. I lack both a smart phone and a temple recommend.
                  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.

                    "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                      You could probably borrow both.
                      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                        Lucky. I have only received a new calling over FaceTime.

                            There was so much boring and false doctrine blather going from the pulpit a few Fast Sundays ago, I texted my bishop and asked him if he wanted me to liven up the meeting a bit. He didn't get the message until later and I kept my seat. Oh well.

                              I've not been to the temple since I had a smart phone, so no. I guess it's time to go.
