I had an incident in ELders quorum.
Some previous ward member, a real a hole apparently, decided to visit to show off his expensive watch and glasses frames. Then he had to mention how he could not be expected to obey the Sabbath any more because his raging business success dictated that he had to go to New York City for business quite often so most of his Sunday evenings were spent flying on air planes. He wanted everyone to know just how very important that he had become. Then he quipped that he specifically should not be expected to strictly obey the Sabbath because things were not the same as 100 years ago when it was simple and easy to obey the sabbath. At that point, because I hate BS excuses and phony pretentious people, I had to quip that IF anyone from 100 years ago was around that they would happily trade him places so he could chop wood, milk cows, feed live stock, shovel coal on his Sunday evening in their place while they happily took his place on a cushy ride on the flying machine instead. My comment really ticked off that guy, because it totally discredited what he had said. I could tell that he was so angry that he wanted to punch me in the face for what I had said.
IF a person no longer wants to go to whatever church meeting then that is fine with me, But do not come to church and tell me that you are better than me or anyone else to the extent that you no longer have to follow the program because you have become so great that you can no longer be expected to follow the program. That is BS move and I hate people who operate that way.
SO, I ended up sitting in MORmON priestDUD meeting wondering if that ass hole was actually going to be stupid enough to say anything else or to try to punch me in the face. In a larger context, that incident pointed out to me just how stupid that it really was to bother with going to such a stupid meeting. That was the LAST time that I ever went to priestDUD meeting.
I was still attending MORmON sackerment meeting. One sunday, my wife at the time asked me to go to temple recommend interview to get a temple recommend. being the total asshole that I am, I went to the interview at her request. The bishop's counselor conducted the interview. He said there was a big problem because I only attended sackerment meeting and skipped all the other sunday meeting, so he was going to refuse me getting a temphole recommend until the problem was fixed. I knew there were other people in the ward who attended meetings less than me but the chosen approach to dealing with them was to coddle them. As coaxed by the counselor who was expecting more from me, I agree that my only attending sackerment meeting was a problem. As coaxed, I agreed with the counselor that I was going to work on the problem that he had pointed out. In fact, I gave the counselor my personal assurance that I was definitely going to resolve the problem that he was concerned about. The counselor said my assurance to him made him feel much better about the situation. I told him that I felt the same way about my promise to him to solve the problem that was bothering him. That sunday was the last sunday that I ever attended only sackerment meeting .......or any MORmON church meeting as a regular ward member. I resolved HIS problem with my attendance to MY satisfaction. That was over 20 years ago.
I did attend this MORmON church meeting as a visitor back in 2013
