Is released time still a thing?

I drive by the seminary building near 5300 S.State across from Murray High School and it sure looks abandoned. New construction of a hotel, office buildings and other structures are all around it. The pedestrian bridge over State Street from the high school was demolished some time ago so I don't see an easy way for hordes of students to get across State Street to get there and I never see students around.

Maybe there is a different building someplace else, but I just wonder what is going on now with the seminary program in Utah.

sixteen year-old ziller had concluded that the book of mormon, joseph’s myth and mormonism was probably the biggest load of crapola ever ~

with this new world-view, he no longer felt it necessary to attend early morning seminary before school ~

after two glorious days in a row of sleeping in, ziller’s parental units made it clear that they felt differently ~

unless ziller drove himself and his little brother to seminary each morning, his automobile privileges would be revoked and he would have to take the bus to school ~

the early morning hours of the next day found ziller guiding the 1979 chevy monte carlo through the dark suburban streets toward the home of the “cemetery” teacher ~

ziller glanced at the clock on the dash and thought of his non-mormon girlfriend ~

she would be getting up soon to get ready for school ~

her parents would already have left to commute to their jobs in the big city ~

soon she would be stretching and arching her tan taut body across the sheets of her double bed while the alarm teased her awake ~

her long blonde hair would be tossed into a picture perfect mess of bed-head ~

ziller parked under a street lamp outside the seminary teacher’s house ~

the baby blue monte carlo’s chrome spoke wheels reflected in the home’s large plate glass living room window ~

“little brother? ziller has some stuff to do before school instead of going to seminary. you can find a ride to school from here, right?” ~

“well, if it is all the same to you, big brother, would you mind dropping me off at my friend so-and-so’s house?” ~

ziller put the car in gear and pulled back into the street ~

he and little brother never attended another day of seminary and everyone was happy ~

porn ! *LOL*

Seminary is a form of torture. With people doing critical thinking earlier in there lives, I don't see it staying the same much longer.
Young whippersnappers are getting ready to take over, seminary & church don't fit like they used to.
