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.

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.

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

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

CSoul

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.

RebelScum

Not to mention the issue of attending the event for fans.

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

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

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

yes it is a leap.
