I ask, because if it's super important, then when the full ward is allowed to attend the two-hour block, they should, so they can 'partake of the sacrament'.

But what if it's not important, with regard to the Eternities?

What if that whole process, the teachers preparing the bread and water, and all the silliness that can accompany this step, then the blessing of the sacrament by the priests, 97% of them having masturbated during the previous week, with that same 97% willing to do it the following week; and then the deacons passing the sacrament and enjoying checking out the boobs on the good sisters, as they hover over them, is a breeding ground for improprieties? What if this process leads these young men into transgressions that wouldn't otherwise occur? (okay, the masturbation, that's gonna occur...)

What if the members are, literally, better off staying home and enjoying whatever it is that they enjoy doing? Even if it's being holy!

Any message that the leadership wants to impart to the saints can now be done via Zoom, texts, emails; all the mediums the church has at its disposal, thanks to a living ghawd who inspires the invention of each medium, so that porn usage can proliferate.

The actual consumption of the bread and water are symbolic, so why not skip the symbolism and just go for the meaning: "I, Ricky/Becky Mormon, promise to remember the sacrifice Jesus made, and I will be a good boy/girl, amen."

This mantra could even be repeated on an hourly basis, and maybe it should! Like at every five minutes before the top of the hour. The extra pious could announce at F&TM that they set an hourly alarm so that they NEVER miss repeating the promise, each and every hour of each and every day.

Plus it would be very beneficial to people who are allergic to wheat, and/or water.

Be thee not fooled. It matterith not. For I believe that when you are here you are here and when you are gone you are gone

The Sacrament obviously is of no importance what so ever.

The first supremacy err presidency has denied the right of all priesthood holders, no matter how worthy, to prepare and administer the sacrament for their families during the lockdown.

This is a worldwide ban.

So it obviously has no importance.

So...revelation! The word of ghawd still rings out loud and clear over the Earth!


Would there be a market for “The Sacrament”, in single servings or family size at 7/11?

This is a free-be... For taxes purposes I can’t afford to increase my income.

Why did they do this? What about the priesthood? What good is having a priesthood holder in the house if he can't use it?

I remember stories of how important the sacrament is with I think a GA who talked about being in the military as a young man and being the only Mormon except for two other guys. On Sundays, they'd go off to a private shed, sitting in the blistering stuffy heat of this little metal box just to bless znd pass the sacrament. At the time, it was inspirational. I guess we won't be hearing from a GA in the future, "When I was a young man during COVID-19, we were locked down in quarantine. But I stepped up and used my priesthood for my family..." NOpe! Against God's rules!

seriously, does anyone have a link to any kind of explanation? Like the name thing, trying to effectively force members to destroy the branding that has been built for the last 80 years, making every TBM come across as a pretentious butthole as he corrects people who casually use "Mormons". This feels backwards, like they spent all this time empowering each worthy member on the perks of being TBM but now like a petulant, bossy kid, "No! Let ME do it!" . ..wtf is wrong with Nelson?

More than once when I was in the military a very small group of us met and blessed the sacrament. Sometimes we were complete strangers to each other and never saw each other again.

The whole covid ban thing still baffles me.

> The whole covid ban thing
> still baffles me.


At least we have an inkling of what the pre-flood people were thinking as the rain just went on and on. And on!

Too bad none of those pre-flood destined to die people made their livings from the sea...

Even as a TBM, the emphasis on the Mormon Sacrament™ always seemed to me overblown and vaguely creepy (as opposed to The Endowment™, which was way overblown and decidedly creepy)

Two, four, six, eight
Time to transubstantiate ("Doin' the Vatican Rag")

For a church so against set prayers and vain repetitions, both the sacrament and endowment are real head-scratchers.

once again supposed super critical "indispensable" MORmON saving ordinances/ rites are shown to be the laughable unimportant BS that they really are,

STUPID ASS MORmONS !!!!

Cause the ONLY thing that really matters for the eternities to them can be easily done from home. Sending in the money.

I don't know where people get the idea the leadership is not allowing members to take the sacrament at home. I am PIMO and my wife is totally TBM. After the second Sunday without church the OK was given to all members that had at least a Priest in the home to administer the sacrament. My wife makes us both put on our church clothes and listen to a BYU devotional. Then I take care of the sacrament and in a total of 30 minutes church is over and second Saturday begins (at least for me). I don't put up any fuss because if this is what makes her feel good, its a minor thing for me to agree with.

Lurker1, I got my point of view regarding the sacrament in the time of Covid19 from here on RfM.

I thought that the church did NOT authorize priests and above from willy-nilly preparing and blessing the sacrament. I read here that bishops were tasked with making sure that their flock were all aware of this.

So that's where I was coming from.


Of course it made sense that anyone with the appropriate priesthood and access to the words of the prayers (that must be uttered EXACTLY right) could whip up a sacrament snack.

"Becky?" Well, I'll grant you that.

But what about Karen?

Since the Mormon church is just a cult that wants to control your life and take your money, taking the sacrament has zero meaning in the eternities.

It is a mind control ritual

Geez, TDR!!! Way to throw gross word salad at the wall to see what'll stick! What a bunch of gargb...



...oh, I wrote that... Never mind...

And I loved what both desert rat and EOD wrote!

They could have a texted "call to prayer", several times a day.

Jesus applied for the job at his local minaret but they balked at his tie-dye apparel.

Partake as in partake of the sacrament. Who on earth but Mormons uses archaic words like that? Right up there with stores that sell apparel.

You would think that taking the sacrament once would be sufficient. Just like one or two temple trips (for your own endowment and sealing) would also be sufficient. Do you have to keep taking the sacrament in the Celestial Kingdom? That is the question. How about attending your meetings in heaven? Or do you finally get a break from that?
