I am pretending nothing. I was responded to a post that said there is no coercion involved in keeping people in the church. Why so defensive?
The Nehor Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 13 minutes ago, consiglieri said: Except with threats of eternal damnation and loss of family . . . Just like the hot stove threatens to burn you if you touch it and water threatens to make you wet if you touch it. That is why we all hate stoves and water. They function purely through threats. 4

Jeanne Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 My experience with Sacrament meetings are mixed. Like everything..some are interesting and some are not. But I DO wish that they would let families have the funerals be more about the deceased and not an opportunity to preach the gospel. 2

If you knew them why do you need to have talks about them? If you didn't know them then it is a little late to get interested in their life now.

Requiring funerals held in chapels to be missionary opportunities for the non-member bereaved family and friends of the deceased is something Tiggers hate most!
