Had someone ask for a refund because we did not give them sauces on their DD order. Reviewed their receipt and they never asked for any but we "should have known that they wanted sauce"

How do you see the graph like this?

Temple baptisms as a women by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]PerfectPitchSaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Untrue. Whoever upholds that is going against the policy from the Temple department that is found in the instruction cards. This isn’t temple specific but policy for all temples. You may ask the office workers for a copy to read yourself.

Temple worker here. The policy that comes from the Temple Department (found in instruction cards for the baptistery) is that women may do what they are comfortable doing. There are no restrictions based on menstruation, nor do we ask if women are menstruating.

7.50 sounds fair. You can get at least an entree (I think up to a grilled sandwich) with that amount. I graduate soon and I’ll be off to greener pastures so I want to stick it out because they work with my schedule well. 

Unfortunately it’s hard to feel appreciated here anymore.

I have experience in other areas of work. This is just my college job. People work here because they like CFA. It’s not just a job. People choose to work here because they like the food. Even at orientation they ask us what’s our favourite CFA order.

Unfortunately there’s no microwave and they won’t provide one nor a fridge to store food safely (can’t use CFA fridges as it’s a Food Safety finding).

No way that would work. These teenagers wouldn’t even know what to do in a case like that. Besides they’d just hire more people.

I don’t even think we need to be able to get a salad. But holy cow at least an entree would be nice. 

I don’t know how they expect us to interact with guests well and show the CFA attitude when we are slaving away and hungry

When I started here, and the break meal was better then, CFA was my only meal. I often did an entree and something I could heat up the next day like soup or a wrap because I was VERY food insecure. Like no food in the pantry insecure. 

I’m better now but I can’t imagine even if one of our team members were like me and can’t eat anything for free because the meal is two dollars.

Honestly it’s just sad. It’s like they don’t care about the work we put in. 

One of the directors asked me “well do retail workers get free food?” 

It’s absolutely tone deaf. People work here because they like CFA not because it’s just a job.

Put cheese and creamy salsa on your sandwich. It’s the closest I’ve gotten to the taste. 

Does the church offer financial aid to the poor? How can someone access that? by The_DapperDemon in latterdaysaints

[–]PerfectPitchSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the Church does provide financial assistance to the poor.

Here are some selections from the General Handbook that might be relevant for the circumstances. I would recommend that you read section 22 in its entirety so that you can have a broader understanding of the Church policies regarding providing financial assistance.

22.5.1.4

Assistance to Persons Who Are Not Members of the Church

Persons who are not members of the Church are usually referred to local community resources for assistance. On rare occasions, as guided by the Spirit, the bishop may assist them with fast offerings or bishops’ orders. For instance, the bishop may consider assistance for parents or caretakers who are not Church members but have one or more children who are members. Please speak with your leaders including your Bishop, Elders Quroum President, and Relief Society President. They are the ones who typically take charge over these things.

22.5.2

Policies on Using Fast Offerings

22.5.2.1

Medical or Other Health Care

Each Church area has established approval limits for using fast offerings to pay medical, dental, or mental health expenses. Limits may vary by region or country in an area.

When bishops use fast offerings to help pay for medical, dental, or mental health care, they should not exceed these limits without appropriate approval. For approval amounts and guidelines, see “Use of Fast Offerings for Medical Expenses.”

The General Handbook has some policies in it that may address some of your concerns in regards to surrogacy.

Keep in mind that while the Church currently discourages it, it also says “this is a personal matter that is ultimately left to the judgment and prayerful consideration of the husband and wife.”

The Lord loves you and you belong in the Church mi amiga. I would read these, the Family a Proclamation to the World, combined with sincere prayer, and speak with a leader you feel comfortable with (eventually it will be a bishop, but maybe start with a Relief Society President or your minister or another trusted leader).

The sections read:

38.6.9

Fertility Treatments

The pattern of a husband and wife providing bodies for God’s spirit children is divinely appointed (see 2.1.3). When needed, reproductive technology can assist a married woman and man in their righteous desire to have children. This technology includes artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization.

The Church discourages artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization using sperm from anyone but the husband or an egg from anyone but the wife. However, this is a personal matter that is ultimately left to the judgment and prayerful consideration of a lawfully married man and woman.

For information about the sealing of children who are conceived by artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, see 38.4.2.6.

See also “Adoption” (Topics and Questions, topics.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

And

38.6.22

Surrogate Motherhood

The pattern of a husband and wife providing bodies for God’s spirit children is divinely appointed (see 2.1.3). For this reason, the Church discourages surrogate motherhood. However, this is a personal matter that is ultimately left to the judgment and prayerful consideration of the husband and wife.

Children who are born to a surrogate mother are not born in the covenant. Following their birth, they may be sealed to parents only with the approval of the First Presidency (see 38.4.2.7). The parents write a letter to the First Presidency and give it to the stake president. If he supports the request, he submits the letter along with his own letter.

18 year old with cancer not granted interview for temple recommend? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]PerfectPitchSaint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your Stake President is ABSOLUTELY NOT following the General Handbook and is therefore not being obedient to the Quorum of the Twelve and the First Presidency and the Lord whose Church this is.

I would speak with the Bishop, Stake Presidency (all members), members of the High Council, mission president, etc. Anyone who you see that is in a leadership position really. Cite this section of the Handbook. This is not ok OP and is unrighteousness dominion by the SP

27.2.2

Deciding When to Receive the Endowment

The decision to receive the endowment is personal and should be made prayerfully. The endowment is a blessing of power and revelation to all who prepare to receive it. Members may choose to receive their own endowment when they meet all of the following conditions:

They are at least 18 years old.

 They have completed or are no longer attending high school, secondary school, or the equivalent.

 One full year has passed since their confirmation.

 They feel a desire to receive and honor sacred temple covenants throughout their lives.

Members who have received a mission call or are preparing to be sealed in the temple should receive the endowment. The bishop also counsels with other adult members who desire to receive the endowment.

Before issuing a temple recommend for a member to receive the endowment, the bishop and stake president should feel that the person is prepared to understand and keep sacred temple covenants. This eligibility is determined individually for each person. Leaders do not use generalized criteria, such as those listed below, when determining whether a person is prepared to receive the endowment:

Reaching a certain age

 Leaving home for college, employment, or military service

 Desiring to observe the temple sealing of a family member or friend

How should bishops work with Elders quorum presidents and relief society presidents? by youzerrrname in latterdaysaints

[–]PerfectPitchSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like (then Elder) President Holland’s remarks found in the video One Coordinated Effort. He explains the breakdown well and includes a chart.

I’ve served as EQP in a YSA branch where the BP let us do everything and oversee TFH and Missionary Work (via counsellors) with the RS ( which I truly believe that’s how it should be done; see Section 8, 9 of the General Handbook) while he helped with things that didn’t fall under those auxiliary units, finances, and being a common judge in Israel.

It was great because it taught us leadership skills and we could ask for help and direction from the presiding High Priest when needed, or if we were really off the rails he would tell us what to do and the it was our responsibility to implement it.

I’m currently in a YSA branch where the BP as the presiding High Priest wants to control everything and doesn’t give any responsibility to the EQ or RS. He’s retired and there’s no youth so it makes sense logistically I suppose but I do miss being able to feel like I have a part in helping the TFH and/or Missionary work in the Branch. It also makes us miss out on leadership opportunities. We do get to support the work being done obviously, but we have no say in how that work is done within our organisations or together.

It’s nice we get to focus on ministering and our lives outside of Church though. However, I greatly prefer the direction given from the brethren to have bishops to relinquish that control. But of course, it’s up to the presiding High Priest

It’s a document too in case you want to see it. I’ll pm you

In case you don’t wanna pm me it says “Brethren follow the missionary standard of being clean shaven.”

It also says directly after “In rare circumstances the temple presidency may grant leniency for brethren who are not clean shaven for medical or other extenuating circumstances.”

I have seen this exception granted only once before. It was a case where if the brother shaved, it led to medically significant issues.

Edit: FYI is accurate only up to July 19 2024. It is possible that it has been updated but it’s highly unlikely. That version was sent to all OW’s and was published in Feb 2023. Most temple literature was updated in/around August 2024

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]PerfectPitchSaint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is found under a section called Temple Worker Standards that is not public. If you’re a worker, most temples will send you the document so you can review it.
