I love the music at New Pilgrim. Rousing soul, jazz, old time country...just good ol’ Christian music.
At Lifeline Community and at Valley Assembly of God, there are awesome rock bands and soulful ballads. They rock your world.
At Draper Valley Presbyterian, there is a lone guitarist with a calm beautiful voice backed by harmonic vocals, and I’ve attended our local Community of Christ (they are building a brand new Church near my home). C of C doesnt’ have instruments - the melody and harmony of beautiful human voices blending from opposite sides of the aisle - Masculine and feminine blending in perfect pitch, FABULOUS!
We share testimonies all the time of the truthfulness of Christ, the way he saved us and changed our lives, thankfulness for what he does for us....never boasting about how much we puny humans can do for HIM (lol).
This was the testimony I bore in LDS “testimony” meeting. It is set aside for the first Sunday of every month.
I know this Church is true, that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God, that David O. McKay is a Prophet (give me a break it was the 1960’s). I love my mommy and daddy.....Oh yeah, and I love Jesus. Every child was encouraged to say the same rout “testimony” during the time that old women gave travelogues and shared “spiritual” happings. Most of the men slept or looked repeatedly at their watches.
Don’t believe me? I challenge anyone who does not agree with my recollection, to attend the nearest LDS Chapel on November 4th (Testimony Meeting) and get back to me. Make sure you check the times of the services. Here in Utah there are three per day/per building.
I attend Sacrament Meeting and listen to the testimonies that are borne once a month. You have grossly mischaracterized what is typically said. Which shouldn't surprise anyone who has read your ranting here. But to belittle the precious and personal statements of individual faith and belief in Christ and His gospel, expressed by your fellow human beings (including little children), demonstrates even more completely your lack of character and Christian compassion.
I understand that you allowed yourself to have a miserable time while a member of the LDS Church. You could have just walked away and left it at that. But instead you feel that you have to spread your misery and bitterness here, tearing down other people's faith, and sowing division and contention amongst your fellow FReepers and conservatives. It's sad, really.
Don’t worry, kid, I’ll be there.
Yawn! I have better things to do in my life than stalking Mormons.
