Because they don't want to complete with an invisible power that actually works.

I wish that was original, but I'm not above stealing a joke that I like.

All of the ones I have been to have it and for the most part it's open (like accessing non lds sites) just has a password (you could google it and find out what it is)

My current ward building and stake building have wifi and it's open. However it's some odd set up upon connection Auto loads a page (even on tablets and smartphones) and is a special version of the Sunday school and my year rs and priesthood lessons. No way to try and access anything.

I remember mine had one, but it had filters so you couldn't access anything naughty on their network.

I bet Mormons don't have wifi because of websites like this one.

They do, and plenty of people here have accessed RfM at their local wards. I believe the church-wide password is Pioneer47.

I'd seen that posted here a number of times, so I decided to try it out on my local chapel. Drove over there (only about 2 blocks away), parked in front. Got the wifi signal on my tablet. Used the "Pioneer47" password -- got in.
Free wifi!
RfM was *not* blocked!
Another ex-mo site (mormon think) WAS blocked.

:)

When I do go to church, I seem to be able to access anything that I want, including this site. Oh wait - Steam chat once. I haven't tried naughty stuff.

I love to read this board during SM. Best F&T Evar!!

My church (Catholic) does not have wifi but then again Sunday Mass is only about an hour long.

No need to boast,,I can beat that by one hour.

Which is about an hour too long.

Great. Now you can send your resignation letter during sacrament meeting. I never realized this because I left long before Wifi became popular.

Have you been to most churches?

Most churches - and business - have 'private' & 'guest' networks and some have 'open' or free access.

Speaking broadly, the churches that want it or "need" it - and can afford it (Mormon churches can because of how they take members money and distribute it upstream) - have it, if it is available in their area.

I actually didn't intend to start a discussion about wifi in church, I just liked the joke about an invisible power.

I never intended to start a religion, but was trying to find some buried treasure. --JS
