LoudmouthMormon Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Here is a thing I noticed in the last year or two: When I log in (with my ward finance clerk access), I can search by person or unit. Looking up my ward, I see it has a "Historical information" section. It lists bishops, bishopric counselors, ward clerks, and executive secretaries. I notice the history is a bit fragmented and incomplete. It's missing our first branch president, some clerks, the records don't go back to the start of our unit. So yeah, I guess the church keeps records of who used to be in bishopric or clerk positions. But that's it. This isn't an annotation on a member record, but more of data for each unit.

It would require a SS # or a least a name and address. I have never heard of this being done. I guess a soft check (or whatever the term is). I would be pretty upset to see a hard check on my credit report just because my parish priest asked if I would be schola (chanting group) director. (which he hasn't done, but I dream about it, ha...)

Our response is that the Sabbath is for spiritual edification and building the Kingdom of God and we did not see how fundraising for a third party organization fit into either. I was in a ward that did that on two separate occasions. I don’t really ever leave church early, unless there’s some extenuating circumstance (such as a FOS 5th Sunday). I bailed on those.

I’ve always had it in the back of my mind that if I was ever called to YM (well, the presidency, I’ve been in YM in other capacities), that I’d have to inform them that I do not support the BSA and they’d need to know that. The church is in the process of taking that excuse away from me. I guess I did agree to do Cub Scouts, but that was because I would be my son’s leader. Anyway, it mentions that the stake president in that article as being David C. Roth. Curious if there’s any relation to David Lee Roth. Edited September 15, 2018 by Judd

I suspect he had some external relationship with BSA and it was a feather in his cap to meet quotas. Or he was told that the new policy would be devastating to the BSA operating budget. Don't know.
