That reminds me, once our church choir group was having a hard time with a song, and guess what some idiot attributed it to? The fact that I wore a leather choker to practice (and it was a weekday). It scared away the spirit, you see.
The spirit is so easily repealed by leather accessories, flip-flops, extra piercings and tattoos (but not boob jobs, apparently) that perhaps the only place on Earth you can find it is the Middle East.
For what it's worth, leather chokers look kinda trashy ;)
But I would attribute the church choir group's failure to sound good with the fact is was a church choir group. [Note: there are some amazing gospel choir's, etc. but for the most part, layman's choirs usually stink.]

I was in my goth phase, okay? And a teenager. Wouldn't wear it today. Now I prefer big plastic necklaces:)
I was a modesty nazi, by the way.

Well, they did have me... But yeah, everyone else sucked.

The spirit is a very, very sensitive creature. When you are confirmed, you receive the gift of the HG so that he will stay with you and influence you to do good....unless you drive him away by doing something wrong. Yet, the human is a sinful creature and is always in a sinning state. Which means the HG is never with you. Kind of a strange gift, that presence of the HG.

And, so, blame the Church, when in doubt.
Let's see, I saw a sign in a Stake Center in Manti telling men to remove their hats. To hell with that! Let's make sure we blame the Church for that.
Or, as you point out, members say what they think and feel during Sunday School classes. To hell with them AND the Church!!! Free speech ought to be squelched, nothing should be said by these stupid members lest error spill out, and we ought to watch only video tapes which have cleared correlation and the political correctness police.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does that stand for?
