Some boys will be Priests for two years (those born in January) and other boys will remain Priests for 3 years (those born in December).

We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')

***ATTENTION PEDOPHILIAC BISHOPS***

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the direction of President NelSatan has now made 11 year old fresh meat available. You are now welcome to ask 11 year old boys and girls if they masturbate and how they feel about it. If they haven't yet experienced masturbation feel free to explore by asking each boy and girl how they might feel when touching or rubbing their private parts prior to going to bed at night.

These new recruits will be of big help in shoring up the Idaho line if those Cannucks launch a Mennonite invasion, plus it will help bring the Aaronic priesthood in line with the Middle School model.

Time for us to go tell the bishop we're gay and get our interview.

I have a question wrote:
How is that going to be any different?
If I'm 12 years old in December 2019 I will be ordained a Deacon in January 2019.
If I'm 12 years old just a few weeks later in January 2020, I will be ordained 12 months after my buddies who were born in December.

We're buddies, my birthday is New Years Eve, your birthday is a day later New Years Day. We used to progress through our classes and quorums on the same Sunday. Now I will progress a full 12 months before you do.

You're going to have some 11 year olds in Primary AND some in youth, but probably in the same year group/class at school.

Here are the stated objectives behind this change:
"...designed to strengthen children and youth through increased faith in Jesus Christ, deeper understanding of His gospel, and greater unity with His Church and its members."

How does this better achieve those objectives, than the progression being birthday specific?
What problem is this change fixing?

How do you prepare a Sunday school lesson for a class that contains just-turned-11 year olds and nearly-18 years olds?


Why are you criticizing Gods direct revelation to His servants the prophet? Gods revelations aren’t supposed to make sense.

I have a question wrote:On the day a Utah Bishop is charged with the sexual abuse of minors, the Church gives Bishops everywhere access to even younger people.


Do you just make sh!t up as you go along or do you really not understand how youth programs have worked in the LDS Church for years?

It actually hasn’t worked this way for years or else there wouldn’t need to be a new “revelation” to ordain 11 year olds.
