Last Sunday during a fast and sacrament meeting, one woman around my age went up to the podium to bear her testimony and said "how taking sacrament is a true privilege."
I remember sitting there thinking "You are absolutely wrong." Sacrament and communion represent the body of Christ. When Christ died, he paid the ultimate price for all our sins we will ever commit in a lifetime. His sacrifice gave us the GIFT of salvation and eternal life. Therefore, taking sacrament is a free gift and not a privilege. It is for everyone.
What's interesting about this person is that she wants to serve a mission but her husband is a Jew and she wouldn't want to leave him behind (she is a convert to the church). All I have to say is: you're not going to convert many people with that kind of mentality.
