"Brothers and sisters. Don't go to any sports event on a Sunday unless it's a BYU game."

Nope. Don't think that's something I'll ever hear at conference.

It's the perception, almost as much as the principle.

You'd have to really strain hard to use current exceptions to justify Sunday

Indy Coug

REALLY hard.

Hemorrhoidily hard

I'd be fine if they did or if they didn't. There are already lots of exceptions

I just love these "continues toward obsucrity" type of posts.

What would the world do without its Sunday evening helping of granite flats

It's not so much Sunday as it is the Sabbath. In Israel the Sabbath is Fri/Sat.

I kind of think you missed the point.

If it isn't service, maintenance, travel or in support of a primary church

I have worked in ERs many time on Sundays. No problem.

Snipe

Was this in reply to my post? I'm talking about church employees.

CSoul

8/2/15 7:13pm

I understand that. But those exceptions are there

bluejammer

8/2/15 6:44pm

No they couldn't

not to split hairs, but there is little that couldn't be done with extra

Big difference between essential services/functions and a sporting event.

As long as the game starts by 11:59 pm on Saturday, we're good.

Are you comparing football to church functions?

If BYU (the church) gives in on this, I feel like it would be a slap in the face

No Worries, It Isn't Going To Happen

Dream Sicle

8/2/15 8:13pm

Maybe the church makes that change, in 50 years or so. No way they're changing

Exhibit A: the most recent GC talk by the current Pres. of the Quorum of the 12

Don't Muff It

Yeah. Not going to happen.

BYU emails me on Sundays & trys to get me to purchase tickets to athletic events

There actually might be a better chance that BYU someday admits married gay

Josef K

8/2/15 7:57pm

A much better chance actually.

Polecat

8/2/15 8:06pm

I agree. But who would have thought that even a year ago

bluejammer

8/2/15 9:13pm

Sooo, we agree to Sunday play if the game is played in the Middle East?

Don't you think you made quite a leap. I fail to see any logic in your argument

Real G Man

8/3/15 10:42am

yes it is a leap.

Umm ... Wouldn't compromising standards to play on Sunday
