One of the programs, I believe it was LKL, had about 9 family members on in a group. I don't remember the exact exchange as it was sometime ago so perhaps somebody else will have the details. The conversation was about church activity and when it came time for Tom's response it was somthing akin to "no comment". Several of the family members laughed a little including Tom. It was obvious that it was not a big issue with the family but as a Mormon my impression was that he is not attending at this time.
This could be for a whole spectrum of reasons. I've had periods in my life when I was less active. Sometimes people stop attending because of a moral transgression but more often than not it is because somebody hurt their feelings. Once you stop going for awhile it can be hard to go back to church because of the awkwardness of the situation.
After sleeping on it, it occurred to me that one of Elizabeth's aunts on t.v. brought up the subject of personality, stating that, at get-togethers (may have not been family exclusively), even though Elizabeth herself is quiet, she is out-going and seeks out those who may feel uncomfortable, shy, or lonely. Elizabeth would sit off in a corner with them.
Any of you recall hearing the above?
