A Little Research Project for Fast and Testimony Meeting

[Jarid in Cedar]

All open mic fans. I have a request.

I would like a report from F&T for the following items

1. Time from after the opening testimony of the bishopric to when the 3rd testimony is complete
2. The number of testimonies given after the 3rd
3. Total time alotted for testimonies at your meeting(from after the bish testimony to their closing statement)

I cannot reveal the reason for this as it may skew reporting.

Thank you for your help with this data collecting adventure.

Also exclude any child who appears to be less than the age of 12

Our ward is due for another opening testimony from the Bishop asking that little kids not bear their testimonies. Over our last four or five F&T meetings time taken up by the Primary - especially the junior primary has gone from about 10% to about 50%. Sorry to all those who like to parade their kids up there to do it, but the purpose of the meeting is not to have 4 year olds parrot back what their nine-year old sibling whispers in their ear. It gets old. Quickly. And it unfortunately is a feed-back loop that grows on itself. Like global warming.

I can't foresee any good coming of it either.

If all I wanted to do was to embarrass you, I would just point everyone those pictures that your brother is selling on the internet.

My wife insisted we sit in the chapel today, so no sleep for me.

Testimony meeting for us is always the week before conference.

Sister A	05:54.2
Sister H	03:36.7
Brother J	05:36.0
Elder A	01:42.0

I did not count the 5 kids who got up in a row, and were all brothers and sisters, and were glad their brother got baptized yesterday. They also all love their parents and they all know the church is true. Even the four year old.
