On the drive home, noticing that the man seemed somewhat agitated, my Dad asked if he had enjoyed the meeting. The man said, the meeting was nice, but we could have at least let him stay for the steak. He went on to say he had eaten a small breakfast that day, because he knew he would be having steak later on. When we all started giggling he looked really confused. My Dad explained that the word was actually S-T-A-K-E and not S-T-E-A-K, and that it was used to describe a group of Wards (another word we had to explain to him) within a certain boundary.<br /><br />I wonder how many investigators have been planning to attend STEAK CONFERENCE?<br /><br />Experiences like these got Sista Beehive and I thinking, wouldn’t it be great if there was a sort of Mormon Dictionary. Something to explain what non-members might expect, words they may not know, sayings we use all the time and what they mean.<br /><br />In Wards with a lot of new converts, in an inner city area, or where the people just speak the native tongue and not Mormon, there can be great confusion.<br /><br />During a Young Women’s lesson on chastity the leader giving the lesson said that the girls should avoid “necking and petting.” The girls had no idea what she was talking about. What is necking and petting, one of the girls asked? All the leaders looked at each other trying to think of a good way to explain it. Finally I said, “feeling each other up”. The young woman said, well why didn’t you just say that. I don’t know what necking is, but petting is something you do to a cat. Then the girls explained what “feeling someone up” was to those leaders who now looked confused. (That’s what leaders are talking about when they say, “I’m learning more from the girls than they are probably learning from me.”)<br /><br />Here are some of the things we think should be in the Mormon Dictionary:<br /><br />STAKE: A group of Wards<br /><br />STAKE CONFERENCE: A meeting for the members of a stake; like most airlines no meals are provided; complimentary bread and water<br /><br />WARD: A congregation; not to be confused with a ward in a mental institution, although some of the same people may be found at both<br /><br />FIRESIDE: A meeting with a speaker who speaks on a religious topic; topics are often geared towards certain members such as the youth, single adults, etc; no fire is involved; meeting usually held at a Ward building in the chapel where it is usually cold.(side note: back to yesterday's topic, this could explain some of the cuddling)<br /><br />BISHOPRIC: A Bishop and his two counselors make up a Bishopric; unlike when Mormons say, Sister Young or Brother Jacobs, the Bishops name is not Rick (so not Bishop Rick)<br /><br />FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER is not a threat, but a saying Mormons used to describe a blessing. (Proves that Mormons do not marry young to get away from their families)<br /><br />We do not say COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS because we are competitive and we want to compare who has most.<br /><br />HIGH COUNCILOR: Mormons believe in saying no to drugs! (Would someone give us the actual definition please?)<br /><br />These are just a few, but we know there are more, what would you include in a Mormon Dictionary? We are Women, most of us say we know everything, but we'll admit it, we know mostly everything, so if we have some of the actual definitions wrong please give us the correct definition.<br /><br />Sista Laurel<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myfreecopyright.com/registered_mcn/BT8QW_3GY41_YKT8E" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected"><img alt="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" border="0" height="38" src="http://storage.myfreecopyright.com/mfc_protected.png" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" width="145" /></a>

A Sister, who shall remain nameless, asked this question:<br /><br />I am a single adult member of the church and was wondering. Why all the rubbing? I'm always sitting through sacrament meetings watching all the couples rubbing all over each other. Are they trying to make all the single people jealous? We get it, you have someone and we don't. Doesn't all that touching, stroking, rubbing, and whispering <span style="color:#ff99ff;">ignite the flames of romance </span><span style="color:#000000;">(edited to find a more tender word than the one she used, hope you don't mind Sister)</span>? Saw your blog loved it and thought maybe you could answer this question for me?<br /><br />We are working on a response to this Sister's question. What about it? Since we both might be guilty as charged, help us out! Are couples always rubbing each other? Do other singles find this annoying? Do we need more fire extinguishers at church? Is this why Mormons have so many kids?<br /><br />Sista Beehive & Sista Laurel<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myfreecopyright.com/registered_mcn/BT8QW_3GY41_YKT8E" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected"><img alt="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" border="0" height="38" src="http://storage.myfreecopyright.com/mfc_protected.png" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" width="145" /></a>

Jerry Springer In Sacrament Meeting

So this was during my Jackie Years (you know the female version of a "Jack Mormon"). Before I knew that watching Jerry Springer was against the "Words of Wisdom"(or at least it should be).<br /><br />Jerry Springer was my favorite pass time. I watched Jerry while I cleaned. Jerry was my company when I cooked dinner. Pretty much when my wonderful hubby was working, Jerry was the man of the house. My husband had warned me about watching the Jerry Springer Show...Especially in front of our 8 children. I even refused to acknowledge my Jerry addiction when the sisters in Relief Society warned against the dangers of watching such crud. Telling myself that "if it were really an issue the "Brethren" would address the issue (they never did).<br /><br />Any who, I didn't think that applied to my 18 month old who's brain was developing daily and she was learning faster then Jerry and I could teach her. I had convinced my husband that I had broken up with Jerry, and that my 18 month old and I had been spending the day watching Barney and educational videos.<br /><br />However little did we (hubby,and I) know that my secret would soon be out. Imagine this brotha's and sista's...Oops, I do mean brother's and sister's. Sitting in Sacrament Meeting waiting for the Sacrament... My baby raises her hands over her head, starts pumping her fists up and down, and chanting "Eerry, Eerry, Eerry,". Realizing what she was saying I quickly tried to quiet her, as I was reaching for my 18 month old, my husband, bishop, and a few others quickly glanced over in my direction. Making eye contact with my husband, I said "what, it's from a long time ago" (can't remember if I ever repented for that lie, for sure on my list of to do's). He just gave me one of those looks that said it all. I knew, that he knew, that I hadn't really broken up with Jerry. What was I to do, except hold my head up and act normal. The thought that kept going through my head was "never let 'em see you sweat".<br /><br />After Sacrament, the Bishop asked, what she was chanting with a sly smirk on his face... My only reply was " I don't know, hubby had her all day yesterday". Again, not sure I ever got that cleared up. (How late is too late to repent?). Anyway, grateful for three things in this story, a child that probably could have used some speech therapy. A Bishop that was young and had a sense of humor, and God blessing me with some color, so that when I get embarrassed I don't turn bright red, instead I get a nice shade of purple... Amen!<br /><br />P.S. I can honestly say I've had 11 yrs of Jerry Springer Sobriety!!<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your most embarrassing chapel stories, keep them coming! We love sharing the Spirit and Sharing our silly moments with our brothers and sisters! It makes us all feel "Blessed and Highly Favored!!"<br /><br />God Speed,<br />Sista Beehive<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myfreecopyright.com/registered_mcn/BT8QW_3GY41_YKT8E" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected"><img alt="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" border="0" height="38" src="http://storage.myfreecopyright.com/mfc_protected.png" title="Copyright Protected" width="145" /></a>

Why do so many of those experiences involve an LDS chapel and a man named Mr. Lucius? Mr. Lucius was a family friend who often accompanied my Grandmother when she attended church with my family. He was a retired school bus driver, with a mouth full of dentures, who spoke like he was constantly chewing on a biscuit. No one could ever understand what Mr. Lucius was saying. Unless of course the speech was going to be so embarrassing that you slumped deep down into and prayed that you could disappear. Those were the times when he spoke ever so clearly.<br /><br />Mr. Lucius was a Bible thumpin, foot stompin, Southern Baptist. My siblings and I had long ceased to be phased by the Amen’s and Hallelujahs he enthusiastically shouted to the confused <a href="http://www.mormon.org/book/0,9768,5199-1,00.html">Sacrament Meeting</a> speakers. In fact we often coaxed him into a few, but on this particular Sunday…oh boy!<br /><br />During the passing of the <a href="http://www.mormon.org/book/0,9768,5199-1,00.html">Sacrament</a>, the time when the chapel is most silent, Mr. Lucius grabbed the wrist of the Deacon, who had just finished passing us the water and loudly proclaimed….<br /><br />“Them lil' alter boys done drunk all the wine and filled these cups with water!”<br /><br />Oh my goodness!... I wanted to die... and be resurrected in a time when Mr. Lucius had all his teeth, but never ever, ever opened his mouth…And why was he looking at us with that triumphant grin on his face, like he had just cracked an unsolved mystery. In my head I was screaming SIT DOWN, YOU ARE NOT COLUMBO!<br /><br />My parents quietly tried to explain to a disbelieving Mr. Lucius, that the <em>Deacons</em> had not in fact drank any wine, and that the cups were intended to be filled with water. As the Deacon who was trying desperately to hold back his laughter collected the tray, I thought to myself…I will never live this down.<br /><br />After the meeting, as I took my long slow walk of shame to Primary, I offered a fervent prayer...Dear God, please let it be true…am I adopted?<br /><br />Sista Laurel<br /><br /><br />Am I the only one who has ever been embarrassed in the chapel?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myfreecopyright.com/registered_mcn/BT8QW_3GY41_YKT8E" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected"><img alt="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" border="0" height="38" src="http://storage.myfreecopyright.com/mfc_protected.png" title="MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected" width="145" /></a>
