Maybe one of you apostates can go to sacrament meeting to see how the sacrament is passed, etc., and report back to us. :wink:
How about YOU go and see if you're lucky enough not to catch Corona while doing it?

PS. I'm proud to be an apostate. It's honorable and noble.
You know I’m just kidding, right?

I guess going back to church would be an individual risk versus benefit decision. Maybe they’ll do a BYOS.

If I recall the long history of my faithful adherence to the Church and regular active attendance I can easily imagine how Covid-19 would have influenced and altered my faithful perspective about the overall needs of attending meetings and doing the same old stuff over and over again.

I think a great many members OF ALL AGES are not going to be overly interested in going back to Church and attending those dreadful meetings. This is a perfect opportunity to go less active and use all manner of excuses in taking care of oneself and family rather than attending to the needs and demands of the Church and all that it requires.

AND, no more missionary force. It's been called home and put on mothballs. The Church is on life support right now and I'll bet my bottom dollar that tithing and donations have greatly reduced as Church leaders are wondering how to stoke the fire and fan the flames of members paying tithing above all else.
