I forgot how boring and loud everything is. The kids cring and the like.....

Even wanting to watch it to make fun of it is to much to handle.

I cannot experience more than 30 seconds of that. Not because it triggers a bad flashback; it's just that it's so incredibly BOOOORING! After you've been away from it for awhile it's even more BOOOOORING than I recollect. I immediately experience spontaneous deafness caused by extreme disinterest.

Boredom led to thinking. Thinking led to leaving.

He's not saying anything; he speaks way too softly, with no animation, no conviction, he's just droning on and on, repeating himself. And this is "inspired"? Blarg!

Why do they do it? Why do Mormons subject themselves to this every week when even they are bored almost to death by it. Do they ever stop and ask themselves if this is as good as it will ever get? Or maybe that's the point - make Earth life as utterly crap as possible in order to make Eternal Life as appealing as possible?

After listening to that I swear I'll never darken an LDS Sacrament Meeting again. This guy should record his talk and sell it to insomniacs.

I made it 43 seconds in before my left eye started to twitch and I had to stop.

I can't beleive that they'd hold a service on New Years Day.

The speaker has no practice speaking in public, or more likely reads very little (in terms of literature, not scipture).

Glad it's been 19 years since I last sat through one of these 'services'.

I found Sacrament to be boring most of the time and I think I was the only one that ever used to actually listen.

Talks from wealthy ward members attributing their wealthier status to obedience to the church and callings etc used to annoy me as did all LDS talks about wealth being a blessing for cult obedience.

Multiply that video by 5 MILLION active Mormons, times 52 Sundays a year, times an average lifespan of 71 years and you get ....

...how many lifetimes wasted?

Perhaps that what Hell is all about. An Eternity of Sacrament Meeting talks.

Actually, hell would be having to listen to Julie BLECH give her goddman fucked up nails-on-a-chalboard talk "Mother Who Know" in an endless loop!

Seven minutes in I woke up with slight drool on my chin and my wife rubbing my back.

I've never been to a church service where children have been allowed to disrupt it that badly. You might hear an occasional baby's cry or gurgle but that's about it.

I have attended Easter services at a large cathedral where people are packed in like sardines. I counted at least 50 small kids and babies and that was just those near where I was sitting (there were probably at least double that) and it was QUIET .Kid stayed in their seats and behaved and fussy babies were taken out.There is no excuse for that level of noise . That was one of my biggest gripes. It was always noisy.

I can't listen now. I already know what it looks like and sounds like without even watching the video.

I'm the one who taped this, and it is always this noisy. I didn't mean to make the video so long. the second video is way shorter. in the longer video the woman and man are married. the wife never smiles. always and I mean always wears a jumper dress, you know the kind little girls wear, usually it is cordaroy material. she is proberly in the low 60's and acts if she has never been happy or excited her entire life. she is just trying to endure it till the end. jeeze what a way to live your live

IF a single investigator saw this and realized it was not a satire, not a cruel joke, but was representative, no eternal reward would compensate for failure to inspire.

Sunday to Sunday everlasting, Amen.

It sounds like a mental asylum between the mumbling man and the squealing kids.
