Oh, and no pens, pencils or paper for you old timers.

My vote is Yes.


Just so long as he didn't confiscate my Dungeon Master's Guide Church Handbook Of Instruction, Player's Handbook Preach My Gospel, and Temple of Elemental Evil module Teachings Of The Prophets manual, I'd take him up on the challenge.

Since I support 2 or 3 systems at work and need to always be available via email, text or phone, I certainly would not go into the chapel.

haha. No, I don't do the social media thing. Unless you count this as social media, I guess. I WOULD probably listen to Coast To Coast A.M. I love that wacko conspiracy stuff and UFO's. So fun to listen to in Sacrament and probably has more truth to it.

are you asking if the Bishop were to implement a policy that was in direct opposition to church doctrine would members react by not attending?...not likely, but there would soon be a new Bishop.
