"I know this candidate is true!"

Not a single mention in all three hours, not even in conversation. These Utah County wards are boring.

Great lessons in both SS and priesthood. Not a word or hint of anything election related. The plus 85 year olds made testimony meeting interesting.

[Indy Coug]

The only mention was during priesthood. Someone that works in the energy industry mentioned that everyone at work is really tense because of how much is riding on who the next president is going to be. He didn't mention who he or his co-workers preferred, although one could reasonably infer who that is.

Our ward does a good job of keeping that talk out of sacrament meeting and the classrooms, even though there are quite a few that are very politically active.

Closing prayer in Sacrament meeting was a doozy.

we need a transcription!

Today was stake conference, so nothing was said in fast and testimony meeting. I have nothing to report.

However, next week is fast and testimony meeting. I plan on recording or transcribing what is said to preserve it for posterity

[smokymountainrain]

No mention of it today.

[Goatnapper'96]

Of course no mention. The meaning of your "remember to vote" message was very clear.

I heard encouragement to vote as well. This is usually what is said before every election, but like you I know the message was pretty clear. In fact I think they have been encouraging people to just vote for years so that they would have the cover they needed for today. They might have said "the Church encourages you to vote" but what they meant is "the White Horse Prophecy is coming true and we need to purge our Church and Country of these Godless Democrats!"

Two possibilities:

1 god heard our prayers

2 this is a wicked generation

via a galaxy s3 far far away

Boom! They knew this day would come and planned for it.

In the weekly Bishopric bulletin we get from the Stake, bishoprics were asked to remind the members not to get political in their testimonies. As an agenda item for bishopric meeting today I wrote - no Mittamonies. So, when the second counselor that conducted got up to remind folks not to do it, he looked over at me and once he saw the huge grin I had at watching him squirm through testimony instructions, he stopped short of any mention of politics in testimonies. We didn't get any mention of the election in my ward anyway, but there were a few close calls.

Several families in our ward attended the Obama rally last night. One family had an open spot next to them in the chapel, so we sat by them and after church I told them that we sat by them despite their posting from the Obama rally. To which he replied..."well at least SOMEONE is living the doctrine." (a long-standing critique this particular brother has of good ole Mitt.)

Well, I did wink amd mouth the words "for Brother Romney" right after I said "Remember to vote," but I don't think anyone was unhappy about that.

What doctrine?

[byu71]

What doctrine?

Perhaps the one where taxing the rich more won't hurt tithing contributions. The rich are especially commanded to pay on gross.

[DrumNFeather]

What doctrine?

I'm not sure...but whatever it is, Romney ain't living it.

[Uncle Ted]

If I had to guess Reid has no testimony of his fellow LDS brother... I wonder if we will ever see these two in the same prayer circle.

Reid says he can't work with Romney

Five days before the election, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has ruled out trying to work with Mitt Romney should he win next week.

"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," Mr. Reid said in a statement on Friday, trying to puncture Mr. Romney's closing election argument that he'll be able to deliver on the bipartisanship President Obama promised in 2008 but has struggled to live up to.

Mr. Reid, a Nevada Democrat and a Mormon, like Mr. Romney, has become the Republican presidential nominee's chief critic this campaign, at one point accusing him of failing to pay taxes — a charge that Mr. Romney has refuted.

The Church should lose its tax exempt status.

Good to know that with Obama and Harry Reid in power nothing will get done. The two are obstructionists if they don't get their way. What a bunch of laughable, pathetic politicians.

Um, that's true for every organization that has bigoted policies (most churches, BSA, etc.). The sooner this gets taken care of, the better.
