This was purely an oversight on my part. I do know better. The error probably occurred because I edited or revised the text and forgot to go in and fix everything to make it consistent.

I said if you heart is clothed right, you will be OK. Try that. I note your snarkiness at being properly guided and will leave you with that. Snarkiness? I prefer to think of it as Socratic questioning. If one's heart is "clothed right" (and who, other than the individual in question, can make that definitive declaration?), then he or she may with impunity show up at sacrament meeting in a bathing suit, according to the logic of Jake Starkey.

Bernard Gui Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 On 9/30/2019 at 3:23 PM, Scott Lloyd said: One of the benefits of retirement is that after 33 years, I may now watch general conference in my pajamas if I’m so inclined. Did you mean to say “reclined”? 3
Bernard Gui Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 On 9/30/2019 at 4:15 PM, JAHS said: Church Announces New Pajama Policy For Those Attending LDS General Conference Salt Lake City, Utah – The church announced this morning that they were implementing a new pajama policy for those who are attending general conference. “We felt that it wasn’t fair for those who are attending General Conference to have to dress up while all of their friends and families sat comfortably in their pajamas at home.” An attendee during the morning session of conference remarked, “Before the morning session, it was always hard scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and seeing all of my friends relaxing in their pajamas while I was wearing a suit and tie. But now I am able to have the best of both worlds; being able to attend conference and still being comfortable.” Another attendee said, “Being allowed to wear pajamas allows me to bring the best parts of my home to General Conference. Now if only they will allow us to bring in cinnamon rolls, we’d be set.” Several members voiced concerned about individuals falling asleep during conference. When a spokesperson was pressed about this concern they told us that “it’s unclear as to how this policy change will affect the attentiveness of those attending conference but if we notice people falling asleep, we have a specially designed air horn for that scenario.” If all the people who fell asleep during conference were laid end to end, they would be much more comfortable.

McKay?) had a habit of dressing nicely, combing his hair, etc before he would kneel to pray. Can't remember where I read it. A sign of respect I suppose. I don't think we need Sunday dress, but a certain amount of respect might be warranted. Then there was the story that JFS bathed with one food out of the bath or shower so he could always be wearing his temple garments. Our mission president, his youngest son, debunked myth that in a zone conference. 1

Where have you been? And I mean actual conversations, not just hit and then gone comments about what they are wearing. First girl says something like: I'm going to wear my red top with a white sweater over it and some jeans, I think. And then the second girl says something like: Oh won't you wear something blue instead? I want to wear something blue and I would prefer that we match a little bit! And then the first girl says something like: Well I would if I could but my blue top is still dirty because my Mom hasn't washed it yet. But I do have a blue and white striped shirt I could wear, I suppose. And then the third girl says something like: Oh I have this solid blue top that you would just look ADORABLE in! And it's clean! I'll bring it over tonight so you can have it to wear tomorrow. And then the first girl says something like: Oh would you really?!? Oh that would be so sweet of you! Sure I'll wear that, but what are you going to be wearing? And then on and on and on and on it will go for at least an hour and a half, sometimes. And this is just a typical example of what they talk about and what they sound like. So do you want to take it back now or do you want to infer that girls are creepy?!?!?!?!? So, Sister Gui’s school had picture day last week. The teachers also are photographed and given a portrait portfolio along with their school ID badge. She always dresses up for the photo and carefully selects a nice outfit. When she was given her packet this year, much to her surprise and amusement, the outfit she chose this year was unwittingly exactly the same as last year’s! Edited October 4, 2019 by Bernard Gui 2

I’m just taking the reasoning to where it logically leads. Do you believe it inappropriate to come to church in a bathing suit? If so, then you must believe that at some point considerations do come to bear other than merely whether the individual professes to have his mind “spiritually clothed.” Edited October 4, 2019 by Scott Lloyd
