A couple years back a baseball player lost his ecclesiastical endorsement

The bishop involved there was Dr. Kearl from the Economics Department

hansel

1/28/13 7:43am

Kearl was the stake president, and he got overruled by SLC...

"Participate regularly in church services"

Not that I can see

I don't get the animosity towards church school policies

Hoosier Cougar

+1.

WanderingCougar

1/28/13 7:24am

doesn't mean we should try to change dumb policies

Xamius

1/28/13 7:28am

Oh, is that what people are doing when they whine on CB?

Freddie Cougar

1/28/13 7:31am

Signed, you whining about Obama.

Xamius

1/28/13 7:37am

I don't recall signing up for Obamacare

Freddie Cougar

1/28/13 7:39am

I didn't sign up for any of the federal income tax laws

Hoosier Cougar

So are you saying church attendance is a dumb policy at a church school?

HuskerCoug

1/28/13 7:45am

The post I responded to was not only referring to church attendance.

Xamius

1/28/13 7:56am

That wasn't my question

HuskerCoug

1/28/13 7:59am

I think the honor code should be more honor based.

Xamius

1/28/13 8:02am

I think complaints about the honor code would go over better....

Space at church schools is limited. There are a lot of hardworking tithe-paying

hansel

1/28/13 7:41am

Especially true here in Utah.

WJCougar

Well said

King Philip

1/28/13 7:44am

it sounds like one big youth conference down there, not a college

whoppercougar

1/28/13 7:53am

In my experience, church at BYU is a lot more laid back than a lot of

hansel

1/28/13 8:06am

Oh, there's a lot of people who care.

bdoggy

1/28/13 8:10am

That's a better way of saying it than I said it

hansel

1/28/13 8:15am

good to know. by the ndway, i'm in favor of 100% church attendance...

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:11am

i already addressed your arguments in my original post

whoppercougar

1/28/13 7:52am

I know over 30 byu bishops as well as students that attend many diffrent wards.

travelcoug

1/28/13 8:03am

good to know but my friend just told me this yesterday...

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:08am

I don't know what ward your friend's daughter is in

SwitzerBowl

1/28/13 8:29am

It is the same ward where kids are getting mission calls that say

BYUtka

1/28/13 8:38am

Maybe she has found a way to duck the big family dinner without telling her

travelcoug

1/28/13 10:45am

If you dont want to go to church, dont go to BYU.

WJCougar

1/28/13 7:38am

You have to show up once in a while. Bishops will work with you if you show any

HuskerCoug

1/28/13 7:44am

Robots? Everyone is free to choose for themselves.

BlackBart

1/28/13 7:52am

skipping church does not make you a bad person

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:01am

Then that kid needs to be somewhere other than BYU. Part of going to BYU is

BYUtka

1/28/13 8:31am

church activity or no BYU for you: that's a false choice

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:01am

Why? It's a private school, not public

2FarGone

1/28/13 8:06am

would you be in favor of mandatory home teaching or FHE attendance too?

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:09am

If BYU chose to do so (which they wouldn't), I'd support them

BlackBart

1/28/13 8:12am

You're avoiding my argument here

2FarGone

1/28/13 8:13am

if that's your attitude you must think BYU admin is perfect

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:21am

Wow, that's a big leap. Not even close to what I think.

2FarGone

1/28/13 8:33am

RE: would you be in favor of mandatory home teaching or FHE attendance too?

unctoothman

1/28/13 10:55am

False choice? If you know that is what BYU is requiring,

BlackBart

1/28/13 8:06am

No, it's a very real choice

Freddie Cougar

1/28/13 8:07am

Freedom to Choose is NOT Freedom FROM Consequences.

BYUtka

1/28/13 8:11am

i agree 100% except that i don't think getting kicked out (no endorsement)...

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:12am

If the demand for getting in wasn't so high, it wouldn't be. But for every kid

BYUtka

1/28/13 8:16am

i guess i have a little more faith in the youth than you do

whoppercougar

1/28/13 8:23am

No one is FORCING kids to go to Church. Or "Making" Them. They CHOOSE

BYUtka

1/28/13 8:36am

People complain that BYU is more strict than the requirement to have a temple

Littlerich

1/28/13 8:40am

Yes, how dare a church school be religious.

Mars

1/28/13 8:56pm

Not the point at all. How dare a byu student skip church.

whoppercougar

1/28/13 9:01pm

Skipping is fine. Going innactive isn't at a religious school. Uh... duh.

Mars

1/28/13 9:15pm

What is your definition of inactivity from an attendance point of view?
