LVCougarFan Walk-on

For the non mormons here I believe this is a relevant question

Why is the mormons version of sabbath day observance any better than any other christian faiths interpretation? If it is about making someone work on sunday than wouldnt that rule out watching TV as well? I've never known a mormon that doesnt watch TV on sundays? I guess I need BYU's official sabbath day guidlines b/c as a die hard BYU guy this is a confusing one to me.

Don't give them any ideas.

Seriously? You can't see a clear distinction?

the number of people taking a Sunday off for a game vs the team returning on a flight on Sunday is night/day different

So it's the number of people involved that makes it right or wrong, the golf

Great. So, I can go play golf alone, a shop alone, because

I think the idea behind no Sunday play is to respect the sabbath when reasonable

The important thing about Sunday's is the number of steps taken.

a reminder that Mathew is Catholic. Seems he's just asking a question.

Oops. I already posted my indignant response.

Meh. It's not like my point was wrong. He just wasn't trolling apparently.

I don't think that is correct

I don't know him - but hasn't he admitted that he's "Catholic Matt" ???

Yeah but he meant it ironically IIRC

Traveling anywhere for anything will often require legs on Sunday

6/26/16 8:33am

This can't be serious. Why do some members insist on making things more

MormonThug

6/26/16 8:39am

It would be a Christlike gesture to relent on Sunday play.

Do members who play sports on Sunday have to repent?

You are correct, Jesus made no "commercial sporting event" exception.

If you're God, are you going to allow talented people who can help build your church to miss church regularly for

Lol, maybe, but that isn't why its a commandment

Tortured leftist rationale.

It's not a crazy question. Prophets have spoken about not traveling on Sunday

Same boat. Sunday is a perfect day to travel.

Sunday play = Ox in mire.

sunday play would destroy church attendance. No way God would approve something that would hurt attendance like that...

What about playing at 8pm?

If 65,000 people wanted to watch them get on a plane, then by all means.

I don't this it is all that complicated. Life is about decisions and compromise.
