I'm sitting in the Jiffy Lube waiting room. There is a TV in here. I left the room for a minute and when I came back, I realized one of the guys changed the channel to KBYU, which is playing an old GC talk. Really? You can't get enough of these talks? You have to watch this in the Jiffy Lube?


I agree it is possible to have too much Church. But the limit is not necessarily the same for everyone. Someone thought you were gone and obviously wanted more Church.

How much is too much? 24/7? Because that's what the church consumes.

Hey Ludwigm,

when are you going to tell us your story? Are you exmo? If so, when were you baptized and what caused you to change your mind about the church?

Curious.

Thank you!

I have a different theory that Zeez could either discredit or support.

I suspect that Zeez looks more like a TBM than the guy at Jiffy Lube and the guy, in order to be nice, thought Zeez would rather watch KBYU than whatever else was on.

My theory is that he err'd on the side of caution given the tendency of Mormon's to publicly be very conservative in what they are seen watching on TV. This has, of course, no bearing on what they actually watch in the privacy of their own homes.

Zeez? Could you have appeared to be a garment-wearing church goer to a jack Mormon mechanic?

Hey zeezrom!
I should start a poll about it.

As most of my comments go bang without answer, I think
- I am not interesting
- europeans don't count (no heritage of Nauvoo)
- MTC didn't teach martian language, so I am cryptic
- simply I don't exist, I am only my sock puppet, and everybody discovered it

To fit to the topic: I've got enough church. Decode this as You want...
Am I mysterious enough?

I'm sitting in the Jiffy Lube waiting room. I look for a remote to change the channel but find none, I ask a guy at the counter if he can change the channel to something else and he starts flipping until the phone rings. It's on KBYU showing a conference talk. I figure if nobody else minds, I have a few minutes to watch one of my favorite talks. So this guy comes in looks at the TV, then turns to me and gives me a dirty look and walks away. Does it really bother some to think that people really do enjoy watching hearing, reading and studying their religion?

I'm working at the Jiffy Lube doing a 20 point lube and inspection on this guy's 1995 Ford Windstar Van. He is sitting in the waiting room watching a KBYU conference talk on families. When it's time to vacuum the vehicle out, I reach under the seat and pull out a pile of trash and am amused to see old lottery tickets purchased in Malad, Idaho, an empty Starbucks cup, 3 sacrament meeting programs from the Gurgling Creek 15th Ward and an old Stake bulletin. Under the passenger seat I dig out an old blue cover Book of Mormon, the one with the Arnold Friburg artwork in it, various crayons, melted candy, and Lagoon tickets from last summer. I notice the latest trash novel from Glenn Beck sitting on the passenger seat, and the radio is tuned to the local conservative talk radio program. Well, that about does it. I give him his keys and he pays and drives away. The gentleman who left the waiting room when BYU came on walks back in and flips the tuner to a documentary, some sort of intellectual stuff I can barely understand. I think I'll take a minute to look under the hood of his beautiful cream colored Mercedes convertible. Some people just know how to live...
