    Good point. I also see it as a "quality control" measure. Shouldn't be too hard to find and Elder DL/ZL to do the baptisimal interview.

    Off topic: I've always thought it somewhat odd that baptismal authorization does not include local, more permanent leadership like a Bishop or BP.

      Looks like Meridian Magazine is raising the bar on sanctimony. Another one.

        The short version is that our daughter was positioned behind the pianist for the primary program (which, she's 5, that was a bad call by them, but whatever), so we knew there was really a specific spot we needed to be for the primary program. So, we go and sit down, and someone taps me on my shoulder..."could you please move, the so and so's always sit there." To which I replied (channeling my inner nikuman) "not anymore." But they kept hassling us...basically saying they had already been there (no stuff there of course). So, we told them that we could only see our daughter from that spot (at this point, other spots similar had been taken). So they asked us if we could just scoot to the middle (with a 1 year old, and a daughter behind the piano, that made no sense). So we finally just got up and moved...stewing the whole time. The minute we got up, the lady behind us put her purse down where we were sitting...classy.

        It eventually worked out because my daughter's teacher moved her so she could see us and we could see her. But the best part is that halfway through I look over, and these two rows of people are ASLEEP! We were pretty annoyed. I've never been asked to move because someone "always" sits in a spot. I mentioned this incident to the EQ pres, who is a good friend of mine, and he agreed that our families should start trying to occupy those two rows every week. Justice!

        And, again, I learned that I just don't turn the other cheek very well.
        I'm unsure why you moved, if I am reading you correctly it wasn't even the person that usually sat in that pew asking. It was some busy body. I could see had the regular pew holder asked kindly and apologized for the inconvenience that moving might be appropriate. Some other person, not a chance.

            Speaking of which, I have been picking on Dan Peterson over this issue with no help from you guys.

                Know what, bro? The only church people you need to know are the members of the Godhead, the current prophet, at least five previous LDS prophets and then some of the ones from the scriptures. You do that and you're gonna be alright. #truth

                  Hey, I liked your comment! Moral support is good for something, isn't it?

                  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

                    What? You actually expect me to bring my trolling ways to that cesspool of masturbatory self delusion? No, there are better ways to get my lulz.

                      A wise move.

                      God help me, but I can't help but poke the bear from time to time.

                        I know, I know. But you might find a more open minded audience on cougar board.

                          I'm FB friends with a lady who is heavily involved in the OW thing. A little while ago she posted this: "Oh, those little shits. They totally changed the standby ticket procedure today."

                                Second annual wear pants day is coming up. I though everyone would like to know.

                                https://www.facebook.com/events/4516...7416/?fref=tck

                                I'll be wearing pants. My wife is deciding whether she will be wearing leggings.
