Church members complain about all kinds of things

I'll admit that I haven't been a fan of Sunday School since I was a missionary - and I'm now a Gospel Doctrine teacher! I still wish that Sunday School would be moved to the beginning of the Sunday meeting block. I'm also not a fan of early morning priesthood meetings.

The 14th article of faith should be amended to read:

"We believe in meetings, all that have been scheduled, all that are now scheduled, and we believe that there will yet be many great and unimportant meetings scheduled. We have endured many meetings and hope to be able to endure all meetings. Indeed, we may say that if there is a meeting or anything that resembles a meeting or anything that we may possibly turn into a meeting, we seek to complain about these."

CB is full of complaints about the testimonies in testimony meetings (I don't complain since I'm apparently in a "normal" ward and/or leave early), and Friends of Scouting isn't too popular around here, either (FOS isn't formally part of the Church but is still part of the callings of a lot of members).

K-dog, before he left CB a few weeks ago, often complained that Temples aren't open on Sundays, and when it comes to Church support of Prop 8, members' opinions are all over the map. I had a missionary companion who had very little respect for the Tabernacle Choir (it was funny to me, but he had a bad experience with a choir member).

The important thing is stay enchanted with Mormonism despite disenchanting Mormons (e.g. members who want BYU to fail). That can be hard if you're in it more for the sociality than the spirituality, but the potential rewards far exceed the required effort.
