Do I get to choose who I spend my evening out with?

...it was two hours, no additional scripture beyond the Bible, no additional doctrines/rules beyond mainstream Christianity and discretionary donations with published accounts?

No. I never attended church for social reasons. I attended church because I had no reason to doubt that God and Jesus Christ had appeared to Joseph Smith and were, therefore, real.

You would have to get me back to that place where I know without any doubt that there is a God. Then I would attend church all day if required.

Would they still be shilling 'truth claims' that are obviously false, just only doing it for 1/2 hour on Friday?

No, thank you.

This sounds like the "Sacrament only" goers. To me, that would make it even more fake. It's at least kinda nice to pass the church on sunday and laugh at them in there wasting a beautiful day. If they could get away with only going for a half hour a week, and still feel superior, I might scream louder.

Will alcohol and coffee be served?

I would attend so long as the conversations were void of anything church related.

I would attend if the conversations were uncorrelated discussions about actual Church history.

...Monson received a revelation stating that any male with African Negro ancestry could no longer be considered worthy to hold the Priesthood?

...Monson received a revelation stating that all worthy males had to have more than one wife?
