They were ALWAYS forgetting to bring in "proper white bread" for the sacrament. My personal favorite substitution was when they had to use Egg Enriched Hamburger Buns with Sesame Seeds (that was the only bread-like substance at 7-11). They were actually bright YELLOW!! Do you think that this means that the baby jeebus had jaundice? What do YOU think that the doctrinal implications are?

I think it's funny that they had to buy bread for the sacrament on a Sunday.

I know one time the sacrament bread was taken from Chuck-A-Rama (so technically stolen) on a Sunday....

They could have cases of them in the chapel and they never go moldy. They could even stamp a Moroni on each wafer.

Every member will be cursing you as they trudge off every Saturday evening, moroni stamps in hand, to prepare the wafers for Sunday morning.

where they had to use goldfish crackers for the sacrament because their bishop was so hard core about not buying stuff on Sunday? I can't imagine not being able to cobble together some bread at the last minute from members houses but the person who posted said the ward totally broke up in laughter at seeing the little fish, ruined the "spirit" of the meeting and taught the bishop a lesson about the importance of bending the rules once in a while.

I think I'm going to throw up just a little.

When I was a decon, a kid spit in all of the little water cups.

...how many sperm do you think the average mormon consumes via sacrament bread in their lifetime?

Thereby sanctifying masturbation.

bastards! ;=)

we sanctify this masturbation to the souls of all those who partake of it; that they may eat in the rememberence of the hot body of thy son...

bless the bread and found....BREADSTICKS!!! Crunchy hard breadsticks. B4 the meeting started I'd given a deacon some cash to go to the little "chungy" next to the church building.

I had THE hardest time stifling a laugh the entire time I was up there and could NO WAY do the bread blessing. Breaking the sticks resulted in crumbs flying everywhere and chewing was loud.

It was hilarious.

We once had digestive biscuits!

The YM assigned to bring the bread would often forget— and it was too far to run home and return— about a 10-15 min drive. So we would often have to go the the 7-11 near the church to get bread.

When I was older and could drive the same 7-11 served as acceptable alternative to priesthood meeting. Slurpees and Mike and Ike.

Did you get to watch them run in for the sacrament bread while you were enjoying your Slurpee?

The same happened in So.California too on a regular basis when I was a teen.

Those guys always had to make a bread run to the 7/11 a few streets down

Didn't you people have a freezer in the building? We always had a back-up loaf in the freezer. Just chop off a few slices and put them on a radiator till sac meeting.

Jeez...

I remember, as a young child, selecting a piece of sacrament bread that had no crust. I didn't like those crust pieces.

Then at some point, when I was in my teens, my ward started having sacrament bread that had the crust removed.

I'm wondering if it was like this everywhere or if it was just peculiar to my ward.

From what I hear, they're told to cut the crusts off these days so that you only get true whiter than white bread. Because we all know god hates anything coloured, right..?

We had the same problem. Usually, one of the YM would run to his house a few blocks away and get some. Often we'd be holding up the meeting waiting.

Unfortunately, they decided that the solution would be to keep a loaf in the fridge, which meant that when they YM forgot the bread (again?), they would pull out this bitter freezer flavored nasty loaf of filth and serve it.

Some of us started bringing fresh bread in the trunk just in case our youth (and future of the world) couldn't remember something as simple as bringing bread every week.
