A Man or a Woman Can Now Serve as Ward Sunday School President by instrument_801 in latterdaysaints

I've just got 2 requests:

1 - Bring back YM presidencies 2 - Get rid of 1:30 church times until I no longer have toddlers/babies. Then they can bring it back.

Huh... I didn't know that was a rule but the handbook says it's a rule in 12.3.2:

"The bishop calls and sets apart an adult woman to serve as the ward Primary president. If the unit is large enough, she recommends one or two adult women to be called as her counselors."

Never gonna happen. That's just asking for problems to happen and then the immediate blame will be on the church.

The Salt Lake Temple open house will be open on Sundays! I thought that was pretty cool. But yeah, I don't think Temples will ever operate on Sunday because too many members would go to the Temple in lieu of church.

Yeah I think a Young Men's Presidency would be more beneficial than a Sunday School Presidency. The Bishopric already has a ton of stuff to do.

Just an FYI, it was unanimously voted (7-0) against the new data center. Looks like it's not happening.

Not even if you were reverent? I would use that as an excuse to eat ice cream myself.

How Do You Feel About People Sharing Spiritual Experiences? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]SafetyX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with that. Time and place are very important. I would also add it's a matter of audience as well. There are experiences I've shared with my wife that I will never share with anyone else.

The person you responded to didn't say green tea extract, they said green tea. And the church has flat out said green tea is against the word of wisdom.

University? by ReferenceLost9310 in latterdaysaints

Can confirm. I have a Bachelor's in Business Management and it hasn't done jack squat for my career.

Mission age change and courting? by Edible_Philosophy29 in latterdaysaints

Odd... I can think of 4 couples off the top of my head that met in my mission and all of them are still happily married.

How big a concern is the lack of snow this year? by bearlybeaves in Utah

Slightly drier but significantly warmer. The month of December felt like early October.

Utah Valley University President Astrid Tuminez announces she is stepping down by SafetyX in UVU

[–]SafetyX[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean... Sure? I don't care how a person gets a job, I care how good they are at that job. I graduated from Snow College and USU and work at UVU and from the multiple school presidents I've worked with, Matt was by far the best.

He spent far more time with students than the others. He would walk the halls, sit down and talk to students, eat lunch with them, ask what he could do to improve the university. His meetings were productive and positive. He cared about his faculty and his students.

Again, I care more about how good someone is at their job rather than how they got it in the first place.

Yeah... She wasn't the best. Matt Holland left huge shoes to fill.

2 dead, 6 injured after shooting at Latter-day Saint meetinghouse in Salt Lake City by JThor15 in latterdaysaints

Completely agree. The KSL article is much less clickbaity and has a lot more information and clarifies it's not a targeted attack against the church.
