"dont have sex before you are married, and dont quit"

He then walks back to the pews and sits down. My mom said she was so embarrassed. The bishops jaw dropped and he didnt know what to say.

That is awesome.

I actually rather like the talk idea. That would really keep people on their toes and provide great entertainment.

Of course we would have to use xanax pills instead of bread for the sacrament.

i think it was in reference to enduring all things. I could be wrong though, my dad is a peculiar fella.

Let me add that he is the ward librarian and he was threatened to be released because no one is attending their classes because they are hanging out in the library.

IMO, the talk idea is worse than the white shirt/clean shave rule. What if there were someone who suffers from such a severe case of GAD that they collapse?

While it would be amusing, it wouldn't be something the Bishop could be happy about.

Even in Utah County when someone walks into sacrament meeting wearing jeans and smelling like smoke or a female walks in wearing flip flops and a tattoo on her ankle, it's a beautiful thing.

Actually I am depressed at seeing the demise of Utah County. I only drive down on occasion on a Sunday. Imagine my shock and horror driving up, I think 8th north and on the right hand side of the road is a HS field or some kind of field.

Anyway on Sunday there are hundreds and hundreds of people watching and playing soccer. Most of them have brown skin. That is what Provo gets for becoming a sanctuary city. Widespread breaking of the Sabbath in Utah County.

Lamanites never got the memo.

My dad's ward boundaries is 95% LDS and the ward is 90%-95% active. It's a moot point.
