"Hold my root beer" - the Russell M. Nelson thread

[falafel]

My wife is in the stake YW presidency. They have a "secret" meeting with one of the stake presidency this week. All three (four?) presidency members and the 1st councilor in the stake presidency. "Secret" I guess because its not on the calendar and he told them to not mention it.

Turned out to be a meeting to talk about another meeting. No release, just wasted time.

Ha! Maybe, but back in the day that wasn't what was supposed to be done. They went home, got on the bus, and rode for 4 days to the nearest temple in Mesa, AZ, where they ere sealed. Maybe things have changed now that they have 2 temples in Guatemala.

Seems super unnecessary. The temple covenant doesn't require chastity between two couples who are legal and lawfully wedded but not yet sealed.

Weird because I thought you said you hope it happens.

Super surprising. IMO, when a church meeting is pushed as being super important, it usually ends up being exactly that with things like new doctrine being learned.

Gotta be careful with that “I thought you said“ stuff. Try to keep up. I would like to see the church to stop marrying people and do only sealings. Very simple. Dayton-level language, in fact.

DH, I appreciate your efforts to monitor my activity on CS. Flattering. Please talk to YO about a rent deal. I’ll pay you each a little something for the space inside your skulls and for my lurking space here.

lol. Don’t flatter yourself. I never think about you until you post here. But whenever you do, it reminds me that I wish you didn’t.

My mere presence here (occasionally, on totally benign subjects) bothers you that much? Of course I am flattered.

Ok, that was funny.

I wonder if the church is worried that young couples will hook up before marriage and feel they are okay with the sealing because they are now married. I know when I was in my twenties I could have maneuvered that kind of thinking in my head because of my desire to get laid and the pressure of a temple ceremony.

Interesting point. Probably depends on whether either or both have been endowed. Hooking up early for endowed people has different consequences than the non-anointed. I could see couples where neither has been to the temple hooking up prior to marriage, getting married civilly, and then sealed as you describe. And I could see those that are endowed crying foul. But that fact is, they have entered into covenants that others have not.
