‘AIS’ (ass-in-seat) time was before the opening hymn started, even at 9am and when a parent was at ward council/PEC. Don’t know why you milquetoast members have a problem with that."...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."

I'm curious how this budget thing will be described to leaders on a local level.
Our last 3 bishops have all take the approach of "plan what activities you want to do for the year. Put a price tag on them. Add up all the price tags. Submit that as your budget. If we have a problem with the activity or the price tag, we'll let you know."
This sounds more like each organization will simply be given a portion of the budget and told to do whatever they want with it.
Honestly - I like the way our ward has done it. I like there being a plan. Maybe because it drives the organizations to consider what they really want to do. Bishops have always allowed a little extra built in for "activity supplies" for the YW/YM. Maybe I like there being a plan because I don't like it when it feels like more often than not the youth groups are trying to come up with the coming week's activity during their Sunday meeting if they don't have a plan.
But maybe that's just me.

I have never seen one of our deacons go back for bread and take it to someone who is late in a case like this."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
Woot
I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

They even tell the deacons to not come up to the front and relieve any teachers from passing duty when they show up after the opening hymn has started because of the disruption.
We have 24 deacons and 12 that pass. Them not showing up on time is an issue. Next year we will have 35 deacons and move to 10:30, so I imagine we shouldn't have any problem having 12 show up on time.

What a bunch of angry old men - and their love of being on time. I'm glad people come to church, and if they're a little late - I'm still glad they came. Part of my service to the church is to accommodate people on their level. Since I'm a future celestial being in training I understand that I'm in control of me - and my job is to help others to eventually become as cool as I am. Ridiculing and belittling is not part of the Jesus code of grown men. If you need them on time to satisfy your souls - show up at their house and get their kids dressed for them and warm up their car. Maybe if you got there a little early - you could also serve them breakfast.
We had a lady in our ward that dressed her kids on Saturday night and let them sleep in their clothes so they be ready in the morning. They all looked wrinkled - but they were on time.Last edited by clackamascoug; 10-07-2019, 09:53 AM.
