You're too binary for that.

Is that for all primary aged kids, or just for small children? I can't see any reason to deny an 8 year old baptized member the opportunity to bear his testimony in fast and testimony meeting if he so desires.

Our Bishop made an effort about a year ago to remind our ward that A) we should be bearing brief, Christ centered testimonies and B) that the First Presidency had asked that primary aged children do not bear testimonies in Sacrament meeting. Both points were roundly ignored in that very meeting. I think it's just too hard to convince people that a little kid bearing a testimony is anything but a good thing. |

On a related note, we have a family testimony meeting on Sunday evenng on fast Sundays at home. That's the right place to teach your kids how to bear a proper testimony IMO. |

Like I said, that's just how I remember the policy. It's been a couple of years since I saw the letter.

LOL. Too true. Funny story. There is a woman in our ward who fits this to a T. They were bringing some refreshment to an event and her husband asked her to make some dessert he really liked. She didn't want to because it was a lot of work but he told her "I know how much you like to impress people." She showed up with the dessert in hand.
