We followed the doctrine back in the day but there was a trib article about how it's not "enforced" like in the old days

Ha ha ha! My mother enforced it. My dad didn't care. But we only skipped breakfast on fast Sunday and I usually missed breakfast every day of the week anyway as I didn't like waffles (which my mom made a lot) or fried eggs or cereal or OATMEAL! I love waffles now.

So, sooo sorry about the deleted post. Just pray that it does not ruin the whole day that is before you, nor that you take it tooo personally (maybe a little, but going beyond that into that other zone is not necessary...but here I digress).

This deletion stuff is what makes the world run (according to the Big M anyways). Like in, how could the cult of Mormonism operate if it did not tell its devotees how and what to read, all the while they are not having a nice, warm cup of coffee to start off their day?

It's garden season. Admin grinds up deleted posts and uses them for e-mulch. ;)

My parents were more forgiving within the privacy of the home. However, my Mom acted more fanatically in front of the other church peacocks (sisters).

Most of my church youth was wasted on late Sunday meetings (ward sharing the building). My ward always had the late schedule. On fast Sundays, my Mom didn't cook any breakfast, lunch or brunch. However, if I fixed something for myself like a bowl of cereal, then she would remind me "Today is F & T. Whatever you do, don't drink water at church. They make comments about you when you don't observe the fast."

I would soon forget and some ill-tempered brother would thump me on the head at the church drinking fountain. "Today is fast Sunday. Don't drink water!"

A forced RfM fast?

I'm pretty sure the illuminati is responsible for this.

Of course sacrament water is allowed because it's spiritual water
to slake the body's spiritual thirst.

One of the fringe benefits of being a Teacher was scarfing all the leftover christ croutons on fast sunday.

Been there...did that!

F&T Sunday was the cue for us miscreant youth to beat a path to the nearest confectionery 2 blocks from the chapel and load up on junk food and Coke.

"spiritual water

What a great idea for a business. I will market this to mormons. Thanks for the slogan.

Will it have calling and electionrolytes?

It's what mormons crave.

Now you just need to get Marie to market that magic water the way she hawks her beloved Nutrisystem vittles.

Of course I be expecting a modest stipend for my idea Dave.

No fasting for this girl. Like EOD said once, if fasting was beneficial, then Bangladesh would be verdant, and people would be happy.

Is that what you said, EOD? I can't remember the details. But, it stuck with me.

It sounds irreverent enough for me to have said it. I will support you in the coming election.

They'll give you a day pass to vote?

I didn't know you lived in Vermont!

It'll be dark in Vermont way before the polls close in November. I'll find a way!

Then we can rest assured that Kathleen has two votes in her pocket--a third if she casts for herself!

You too, ayyy?

We should give thanks Ron that quitting the church saved us from the risk of early onset types 1, 2, or even 3 diabetes.

Don’t worry about getting a post deleted, Ron. Some of mine are so bad, I delete them myself.

Hahaha!!!!!

Ron, I think I hold the record for deletions so stop worrying.

Yeah, but what you are truly famous for is having some of the best trolls on the internet.

Don't sell yourself short!

That's God's job.

We ate break FAST, if we had it at all, especially on slow Sundays. I now drink coffee in it's stead. Yumm...

That's what I want to know.

Maude was an older lady with an inordinate fondness for Cat Stevens who, in the early 1970s, had an affair with a troubled adolescent named Harold.

I didn't know that!

I loved that movie!!! Hal Ashby was a genius. Beautiful scenery, and photography. I saw that about 10 times in high school and my sole ambition after that was to get a Jaguar and take a blowtorch to it like Harold did.

Maude is Edith Bunker's cousin.
