My sister received a Facebook message from her Relief Society president. The R.S. president is asking for help in creating masks that are appropriate for Sacrament Meeting. When I first saw the post, which referenced "sacrament-appropriate masks," I thought maybe they wanted masks that would allow members to take the sacrament while wearing them, but "sacrament" actually refers in this message to "Sacrament Meeting."

I don't know if this was a local dictate or if someone in a higher position came up with it, but the masks that are being made for this particular ward must be either solid in color or have small striped or floral patterns. My sister is unclear as to whether someone who shows up to church wearing a mask with a non-sanctioned print will be expected to take it off and instead wear one of the masks in sanctioned fabric made by the R.S.

Update: My sister texted me that she received an update stating that solid-colored masks may not be in neon colors.

It would never have occurred to me that someone in any church would tell me what the print of the fabric on my mask needed to be. What's so offensive about polka dots or dotted Swiss? What about plaid? Plaid is really just perpendicular stripes.

What if a Sister shows up with an off-the-shoulder mask?

I would certainly hope that someone on the premises would provide her with a church-issued burka for the occasion, or perhaps one of Vai Sikahema's football jerseys. (Vai Sikahema's wife used to take some of his sports attire to church dances when she was a stake Y.W. adviser in the event that the girls' attire was too slutty not to be covered.)

I wonder if the GA's would consider allowing those masks covered with penises:

I was just about to comment about this. Good thing I checked all the comments.

A nevermo friend of mine has even made some of those penis fabric masks, as there's a website that sells the fabric. That was one hilarious Zoom gathering.

Wear one that shows Big Shark type teetsh. Or maybe Flames? One with Joseph Smith's wives - as many of the 30-40 you can fit on it?

I would wear a mask that says "I can't breathe".

How about HOT PINK masks?

But, forget the masks, how about the social distancing matter?
Would a social distance of 100 feet from any of the bishop members be good?

Hot pink would be up to code if it's a non-neon shade of hot pink. Please don't ask me what that might look like.

Oh this is seriously hilarious. Of course. Something new they can do to control the sheep. Control, control, control.

“We’re not a cult. Don’t call us a cult!” Yeah, ok honey. Bow your head and say “Baa.”

Masks should be white and only made from a new set of garments.

And they should have to go through a "sterilizing and anointing" ceremony in the temple before they can wear them.

Love it.

How about masks made out of those fig leaves on the aprons?

During the endowment ceremony, you put the fig leaf mask over the white garment mask as a symbol of covering your covidness before god.

A friend is a Frito-Lay distributor. He has a bunch of white masks with the FRITO logo on the front. Would be perfect for Fast and Starvation meeting.

How about one celebrating the Rolling Stones and the GA talk with Mick Jagger? https://fineartamerica.com/art/rolling+stones+tongue

BUT OF COURSE they already have a dress code for appropriate masks! How could you possibly think that they wouldn't?

This whole notion is so far beyond ridiculous that I can't deal with it.

I am so glad that I am DONE with Mormonism.

The fork?! There are "sacrament appropriate" masks now? Ever get the feeling that the church gets a little too personal in one's life?
