by early Sunday morning at the latest, everyone will be caring about what happens in LDS temples. 

And if everyone cares by Sunday morning, then by Monday afternoon there will be mass protests and lawsuits over the discrimination against atheists and LGBTQEIEIO.

If someone tells me anything in confidence, I understand and respect what it means to hold something in confidence.  I work with many companies and often I am asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement.   My point is that if we agree to hold anything in confidence - Honest people of integrity will always keep a confidence.  Even when what was asked to be kept confidence is "public" knowledge.  But more than keeping a confidence - things that are sacred should be "kept" sacred; especially and most noticeably by those that believe them to be sacred.

In due respect, I highly regard the temple as sacred. I further believe that we can speak of the work to some degree we do in the temple and still keep it sacred.

Trav, I never said we should talk about it. What I said, and what I stand by 100%, is that most people who aren't members aren't interested in what goes on in the temple.

Can you point out where I have not kept sacred that which is sacred?

Clearly they are going to ramp up the Word of Wisdom by including 8 hours of sleep and daily vitamins to the other needs of avoiding drugs and alcohol

Wake me up when they add mandatory daily Halo Top or peanut M&Ms.

How cool is this? It just gives me the chills.

No, there were thirty of us meeting in the high council room, sitting around the table in the middle of the room and lining the walls of the room. Basically a circle within a circle. Ten had beards. There were 23 with beards in sacrament meeting but some go to the primary, some to the young men and then there’s those who just sit in the foyer or leave after sacrament meeting. 

A member of our bishopric has a beard, the ward clerk and two assistant clerks have beards. Two members of the elders quorum presidency have beards and a member of the Sunday school presidency has a beard. 

Three bearded men teach Sunday school and four teach primary. Our ward family history consultant who is also a school district superintendent also has a beard.

 

We have a lot of brothers with beards. The majority of our ward are professors, doctoral, and med & dental students - all which lend themselves to beards, especially at the end of the term and studying wins out over shaving.

Especially when you couple it with the work for the dead, both those who haven't yet heard and those who rejected it.
