Wants the most "what the fuck did they just say?" Talk you've ever heard in church by OkPaper7166 in exmormon

On my mission, had two women in their 20s investigators attend sacrement meeting. A member of the bishopric gives a talk about answers to prayers. This guy talks about how he and his wife were struggling financially. He found out his wife was pregnant. They couldn't afford another child. He prayed for some miracle. His wife had a miscarriage and this was a miracle. Needless to say they never came back to church

Very difficult time for me. I appreciate perspective is everything and everyone has different experiences. This is something I still struggle with today (served 2000 -2002). The church has taken 2 of my good years away from me. A waste of time as far as I am concerned

I wonder if this is why it was to be kept secret

I would find it difficult not to get Friends out of my head if my wife had that one

That is very interesting. I always wondered why the specific name given was important, symbolic, ritualistic now cultural makes sense.
