When will the mormon overlords say, "come back to church?"

Will the TBM follow?

Will the rank and file follow?

I really don't care about the church leaders, but not returning until August or Sept would be wise at this stage.

One thing's for sure, only the really devout TBM's will return when told church buildings are opening again as they're the ones who make their families dress up in their church clothes for "home church." The fence sitters who have enjoyed not having to go to church will quietly go inactive at this point. When that happens, there will finally be social distancing as the attendance will drop quite a bit.

They will not open till their lawyers say it is ok. They will not risk any liability.

I know this is a stupid question, but I’m going to ask it.

Will the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints go back to using professional cleaning services, or will they demand that the members disinfect (as well as clean) the chapels?

Excellent question

Crisping Pin,

I actually wondered the same thing.

Will the voluntolds scrubbing the Lord's toilets be able to get it right?

I think not, but the cheap managers at the top will use them anyway.

The brethren are urging restraint, unless it's lying for money. Go all out on that one.

They've lost a lot of people, the older ones (over 70) aren't excited to return, I know my folks aren't, society is waking up to being more health conscious. It's not just the Chinese corona virus, but the flu in general can also be uncomfortable, especially for seniors.

Re: When will the mormon overlords say, "come back to church?"

I would hope leadership would change the way sacrament is passed. Boys ripping up the bread is a virus waiting to happen. Other churches use bread(a cracker) and wine(grape juice) in sealed individual cups Maybe they will wear gloves and masks.I can envision gloves and masks being worn when passing the sacrament. I also wonder if sacrament will be a once a month thing. For years it has been taking sacrament every week was so important, now not so much. I see all that guilt tripping because I missed a sacrament meeting was really dumb.
