"Antis" can be funny
I read a lengthy "comment" posted by an "anti" to a news story in the Salt Lake Tribune today. It was the usual stuff, full of twists and turns, and contained "facts" intended to scare away anyone contemplating membership. This one brought a smile to my face.
"You will be expected to fulfill any work assignment given to you. These assignments may be teaching, record keeping, janitorial work, cannery or farm work, helping in the Sunday nursery - any job that needs to be done. Each task you perform successfully will make you eligible for others, with more responsibility and more demands upon your time. The members who perform these jobs, even those involving sensitive pastoral counseling, receive no formal training whatsoever (there is no paid, trained clergy). You will be told that God has called you to your assignments. Many Mormons find much of their spare time taken up with church work, trying to fulfill the numerous assignments that have been given them."

I talk a lot with people about the church and our beliefs and and our practices and such, and I have had people say that the church requires a lot of our time and requires us to "give up" a lot. I always think it is very strange, I have never thought nor, felt that it was ever too much. If anything it is too little.
Not the cannery!! -Sherrie
hmmm, cannery. I know not what you speak of. Or rather the context in which you used the word cannery.
