    This is actually a very important point. A question that asks for a yes or no answer may seem clear but often is not because of layers of nuance. Had CB asked if it was MORALLY wrong ,it may have been clearer. But then it may be asked , " according to whose morals " . We see lots of internet claims that action X is wrong, followed by multiple comments that it is only wrong if a person is offended .

    " All people are sinners " , hence , keep your head on a swivel !

    Which of the covenants that are entered into in mortality are permanent / eternal no matter what , and which are contingent upon worthiness of the participant ?

    Newest text messages are problematic.

    How long will it take to teach teachers to adjust to the 25 minute schedule ?

    I hear that manufacturers are increasing the distance between the rungs of ladders due to people getting taller. This is being announced as " climb-it-change " 🙃

    As long as people are not bowing to and worshipping said statue, I guess fine, as I said it ' bends the commandment' not breaks it. I have noticed that many of the LDS temples do not have a " Moroni " on top. I also notice that Muslims are much more strict about images than Christians.

    Personally, I am not a fan of statues inside or outside of a chapel. It borders on bending the second commandment. Exodus 20:4-6: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of -__anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; Then again there is that pesky AoF which says we allow folks to worship " how where and what they may "

    On the other hand , cloud sitting and harp playing for eternity might lose its appeal eventually .🙄

    I wonder if the wording at the beginning of the blessing was adjusted to reflect the situation ?

    Perhaps the RS ladies could knit some reddish letters for just that occasion . ( ducks for cover !)

    What is your thinking on Matt 7 :13 - 15 ?

    Assuming, for the sake of argument , that life in the spirit world after we pass over has some similarities with mortal life, I wonder if Elvis still gives concerts... if George Carlin is doing comedy but has had to clean up the act some... if Christopher Hichens has adjusted his thinking about God ? This ties to the larger question as to just how much of the veil is lifted on the other side.

    Hmmm I heard rumors of this when I was working in the area over 50 years ago. Maybe just a " faith promoting rumor " , however .. I guess there was evidence behind it.

    Maybe separate the genders after sacrament. Youth in 2 different rooms, adults in 2 different rooms. Then just switch teachers not the people.😏
