Generally, I'd say that most wards I've been in, worshipping GAs or church is about 70-95% of the 3 hour block.bethany wrote:I was in a ward once & each Sunday I went home feeling off. I puzzled over it constantly. Finally after about 3 months it hit me. The name of Christ only came up in prayers & sacrament. My friend and I thought we would get up and use testimony meeting to rectify the situation. I ended up sick and stuck at home for the next 3 first Sundays. It was a strange ward.Thinker wrote: Order doesn't mean ignoring the greatest commandments "which hang all of the law and the prophets."
The first of the 10 commandments is related, thou shalt have no other gods before God.
Consider testimonies - especially of the youth - how often GAs and the church are mentioned and how often is God mentioned?
Our church is named in vain, "The church of Jesus Christ..."
In practice, it is The Church of General Authorities.
If you don't believe me, try asking your stake pres or bishop why tithes are not shared with the poor as the law of tithing dictates and how Christ taught.
Today was one of those 95% days and I felt sick - so sick I left the last few minutes, while they were telling which GA they loved and why and equating financial success and prestigue with prophetic ability. :ymsick: :ymsick:
