        All legal issues aside, that's hilarious.

          I generally didn't study on Sundays, either. Of course, I tried to avoid studying on Friday and Saturday, too. I covered all Sabbath bases, just in case Mormonism doesnt turn out to be the correct answer.
          I did, in college. Actually , frosh year it was a "no studying on any day" rule.

          I tossed the sunday rule out the window in law school though.

          My current stake is very vocal about a stake wide no tv on Sunday rule. This is a leftover from the stake we split off of. I admit that I sometimes observe this rule, but only because I'm out on a 3+ hour run instead and don't have time to watch tv.

            I hope my wife doesn't hear about this. It would be over for me.

            There's nothing I like more than laying on the couch on a chilly Sunday in the winter and watching NFL slash taking a nap.

                I don't understand. Your stake has a rule?? I have more questions: Are there more rules? Who made the rules? What happens if you dont obey the rules? Did the wards vote on the rules? How does a new rule get made and implemented?

                  I wish my stake would implement a no TV on Sunday rule, especially the first weekend of October and April.

                    Oh you know how it works. It is like all those districts in the MTC that decided they would SYL 100% of the time. Not a real rule, but just think of the BLESSINGS! so it gets adopted as one.

                    Btw, my MTC district was 100% SYL and it was in fact a real blessing because the most annoying people also had the worst language skills and as a result we rarely had to hear them, and when we did it was usually as amusing as annoying to hear, unlike in English. Win-win!

                      One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. 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.

                        Why would the stake even need this rule? Why would anyone ever dare to profane the Sabbath by turning on a television?

                          No, really. But I don't go around querying people about their Sunday study habits. I was more responding to Ted who claimed it gave him an advantage. That implies that the vast majority don't study on Sunday. I didn't know anyone with that rule and I don't recall that even being a point of discussion when I was at BYU. But I forget a lot of things at this point in my life, so who knows?

                              It does if your NFL team sucks like mine.

                                What? In mormonism? That's unheard of, especially in the Utah brand of mormonism. It's just not done.
