Mormons Like Lessons

When Mormons go to church, it is a real effort. Besides meeting as a congregation, Mormons sit through Sunday School and also separate along gender lines and/or ages for another Sunday School-like meeting. Regular Mormon church meetings take about three hours. Many Mormons have various other church meetings beyond these including Family Home Evening, Seminary, Institute, and church leadership meetings, just to name a few. While Mormons have certainly sat through more than their share of bad lessons, apparently many Mormons have decided that sitting through a crummy lesson now and then beats the alternative.

Recently a Mormon friend sent me a picture that he took while at church that illustrates an unexpected alternative to the occasional bad lesson. The picture below shows a sign posted on the door of a Mormon nursery--where he was going to drop off his kid for childcare and a presumably a lesson. This is his picture of the sign:


It struck me that no matter how bad a church lesson is, it is probably better than the lesions that they are giving the kids in my friend's congregation.

FYI, Mormons Like Acronyms

CTR and the 6 B's sound simple enough. However, it takes a lot of coordination: BYC, PEC, plus all the meetings of the GAs at HQ in SLC, UT.

Today LDS YM/YW have CES and EFY along with the mainstays of FHE, the BoM, the D&C, the KJV, and JST. But, why did the MIA go MIA, only to become YM/YW? It's like MIA was just a NCMO and YM/YW was on MST.

Also, why is it that when RMs are not talking about the MTC or their stats, they talk about when they were APs, ZLs, or even DLs? Don't RMs remember teaching that it doesn't matter if you go to the Y, shop at the DI, are in EQ/HP or RS, or joined the GOP. It doesn't even matter if people constantly tell you XYZPDQ. "F!"
