So June 7th they announce the Saturday evening session is no more. This was the priesthood session, which was more recently alternated between the priesthood and women's session after the fixed slot for the women's session was axed.

Now July 27th, less than 2 months later it's back?! Although with no particular theme and open to all it will seemingly just be another session.

Im curious as to what has prompted such a quick about turn. Power struggles? Focus groups? Or the need for more lesson material?

Surely someone has to question if they said they'd prayed about it the first time why the quick u turn?

Here is the link to the KSL article

The instant I heard about the church sending out questionnaires for the purpose of getting membership feedback on issues that perplexed the Brethren, I felt a burning in my bosom.

Or was it someone else's bosom???

Not that it matters; I'm all about the bosoms!

You are such a . . . well, you know.

I am not a prophet, so I don't use questionnaires.

EOD is my spirit animal.

You drew the short stick, huh?

As I said before, Jesus is really bad at running his church. I guess his carpentry career didn't prepare him for running a global enterprise.

Or maybe it's that his worlds without number have him overextended and this world gots shoved way on the back burner.

It’s a test, like dinosaur bones except the dinosaurs are working for Jesus.

Two important things
1 There is no empirical evidence that he is runing things. and
2 Neither is there evidence that he was a Carpenter.
There is more evidence that he spent many years studying in the Himalays.

"We are led by inspiration and a living prophet so when we announce a change you can be sure it is correct. Except when for some reason we change our mind or if we get negative feedback. Most importantly, if that change causes concern about losing members (tithe payers) then we reserve the right to have new inspiration.
If that happens, rest assured that the latest change is correct!"

Rearranging the deck chairs is not going smoothly. What a surprise.

That is because of the iceberg that ripped open the bow

I have to laugh when I see that KSL is running this story like it is breaking news or something...it's a meeting change. <snort>

Maybe they think they're involved with Holy Scripture?


How about the reporter who goes home and crows, "I broke the story on ghawd changing his mind!"

The funny thing to me is that is was on the local news here in SE Idaho. Seriously, every church fart makes the news around here.
