Shoot, I sure spend more time here that at church.
I didn't go to church everyday. No one pressures me here to read a book more boring and fabricated than reformed egyptian, or lies to me, or forces me to do things I don't want to do, or believe certain things that are not true.
I have a lot of fun here... I just wish we could see each other and reach out and touch each other and live together forever. I need to be a little more inactive, but it's hard. I try!
...they said we have to. So, that's the bottom line. I don't care if you don't believe the Brethren, but I go; we all go. When Kirton McConkie says GO , I GO!!.........
Millions of (mislead) Mormons are released for a FREE hour every Sunday for THE [test] (best) REST OF THEIR LIVES.
They feel so much better already!
Wait 'till that unactivity get to them and they continue to get fat on the lack of church altogether, and stop eating (that dirt) and remember they don't have to go at all.
Mormons - GET A TASTE OF FREEDOM, but only a taste!
My daughter-in-law was telling me that on a web-site she visits that some members were unhappy with the change to the 2 hour meeting. They feel the 3 hour is more spiritual.

I have no doubt that she accurately reported on what she was reading, but I can't understand the logic behind the supposed lamentations! In what kind of mind does an extra hour of freedom from conformity cause such concern??
I have to suppose that they are just trying to appear more holy than the average mormon. Or that they live in a circumstance such that the extra hour away from home was a godsend.
When I was a teenager there was no 3 hour block. Priesthood meeting was from 0900 until 1000. Sunday school (or church,as I call it) was from 1030 until noon. And Sacrament meeting was sometime in the afternoon several hours later. My ward had a dirt parking lot and I think most members walked.
Was it just me...? I could have ridden my bike to church, but never did. I think I got my clue in that regard because no one else did.
If you were a bike missionary, did you and your companion bike to church?
Totally off topic: how come they don't buy tandem bikes for a companionship? They'd less likely to be stolen and the chances for getting separated drop dramatically!
Don't worry soon it will be just 1 hour for Sacrament meeting but you still have to pay tithing to go the Temple. They are having enough trouble keeping people going anyway.
