Nathair/|\ Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Require that there always be one Porter Rockwell, one J. Golden Kimball and one Ephraim K. Hanks and one Eliza R. Snow at a minimum in prominent position in the church. Train all brethren who are capable in wilderness survival and defensive combat. 2
Duncan Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 You have a good sister.she also yelled at a General Authority and kicked him out of the Church Kitchen once, great memory! Now, my Mum had a few words for her as well as I recall! ha!
Storm Rider Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I guess I would like to see an acknowledgement that policies developed without revelation are the acts of man and commit to never, ever create another policy for the saints without first receiving and declaring an actual revelation. We may all need to recognize the frailties of mankind, but it is dangerous to continue to proceed as if nothing is/was wrong with some of the actions of the Church. In addition, any policy now being supported by the Church should be abandoned as a requirement for anything, particularly worthiness interviews, unless a revelation and scripture supports it. 1
Calm Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 commit to never, ever create another policy for the saints without first receiving and declaring an actual revelationWhat about this verse: 26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothfuland not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. 2

Jude2 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I would like to see Sunday School run a little slower. I mean we race through the scriptures every year. Why can’t we really read the Book Of Mormon together, take two years and really discuss it. How many Mormons really know the Bible, we know the stories but not the real Bible. 4
canard78 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I wish they'd require proper usage of antonyms.Lol! My new favourite suggestion. I consider it to be broadly unique.
cdowis Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Buses going around to pick everybody up and take them to chapel services, and bring them back after.They did that when they started inner city wards in Atlanta. I don't think it worked out very well.

Would the change in priesthood policy be considered revelation, for example. And polygamy?

Not scriptural analysis.If you want that, you'll have to find it in some other venue. Edited November 21, 2012 by Senator
Bikeemikey Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Two hour church!!35 mjns for sacrament. Only one talk.5mins break.40 mins for Sunday school. 5min break.35 mins for priesthood. Replace that phood opening exercises with an email. 2
Bikeemikey Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Assign two teachers to every primary class and have them alternate weeks - that way primary folks get to socialize with some adults and have some spiritual education.
Bikeemikey Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Have Sunday school focus on Half year for Old Testament . Half year New Testament. Full year church history. Full year D&C. Full year Bom and pearl of great price.
boblloyd91 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Single brethren who do their home teaching and do their duties get attractive visiting teachers as well as the normal home teachers (or just have the visiting teachers!)
guerreiro9 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Assign two teachers to every primary class and have them alternate weeks - that way primary folks get to socialize with some adults and have some spiritual education.I can honestly say that serving in the primary has been one of the most spiritually rewarding experiences I have had in my life. I am moved to tears (not out of frustration ) most Sundays from the overwhelming outpouring of the spirit. Perhaps my experience is unique or perhaps our ward simply has uncommon leaders and children, but my time has been very fulfilling and educational. If there is one organization in the Church that adequately meets the needs of its constituents I believe it is the primary. Having said that, I agree that allowing the leaders to participate with other adults in the Church at some level is probably a good idea.-guerreiro9 1

Replace that phood opening exercises with an email.I was thinking two and a half hour church; cut 5 minutes from Sacrament meeting, 15 from Sunday School and 10 from Priesthood/RS. I could get behind 2 hour church, but shorten SS and lengthen Sacrament meeting. Edited November 21, 2012 by firepatch36
volgadon Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Do you really want to spend two years in the Old Testament.... how about the PGP.Yes, I absolutely do!They did that when they started inner city wards in Atlanta. I don't think it worked out very well.My branch back home in Israel does, it is a success, but then again, we are very geographically spread out and very few people have a car. 1
