Sargon Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 In Sunday School I began to raise my hand but it was promptly shot down by a very scary glare from the person sitting next to me, my wife! A few years ago, just before our daughter was born, I had almost convinced my wife to name her Asherah. She was OK with it until I explained to her who she is, I was young foolish. Now I an a little older and just as foolish, if not more so. But I am not going even mention the Ugaritic texts, I may be dumb but I not stupid. Personally, knowing the composition of your ward, I think that they would get a kick out of it. College students tend to like new ideas which run against old superstitions Plus you have authority over them and they must bow to your will!!! Bro. EdmondsonA few months ago our bishop gave a lesson about Elijah and the prophets of Baal. He ended the story explaining that all the prophets of Baal and all the prophets of the "groves" were slain for their wickedness. It made me cringe. My first month in the ward, the EQ teacher asked the class if anyone had any hobbies that they liked to pass their time with. By the looks on their faces you would have thought I had summoned Balrog from the depths of the pit when I said "apologetics". (What are you apologizing for?)Sargon Link to comment

Your bishop will be determining whether or not I get accepted within the next few weeks I am applying to his program.Wish me luck. I hope that I have been praying to the right elohim!Bro.

Olavarria Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I was tempted to but I held back. The way I see it, Sunday School is about arming our selves for this weeks set of challenges and temptations.If I was in a BYU Jerusalem Sunday school...I might have. Link to comment
