One of the women in the choir said that they needed to say that everyone needed to be there at 6:15p, so that everyone would be there at 6:30p “because of Mormon Standard Time”. The choir director was flustered enough that she kind of stammered out that okay, everyone should be there at 6:15p.<br /><br />The end result: There were a few people who came in at 6:15p, and pretty much the entire choir was there by 6:30p. In fact, everyone was there by 6:35p or so—well, everyone except for the woman who had suggested 6:15p, who dashed in at about 6:50p, well after the choir had already started singing the prelude music.<br /><br />Not that Jeanne was annoyed by this, no, not at all.David Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881388186547426677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230245579458786956.post-86265612305748830602012-05-24T03:36:32.707-08:002012-05-24T03:36:32.707-08:00^That's enabling.

For instance, we recently had a sacrament meeting at the Kirtland temple. The organizers advertised that it started at 6:30 PM specifically so they could start at 7:00 PM. They didn't even tell the speakers their plan (and then they didn't start until 7:15 anyway).Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834054311958455399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230245579458786956.post-14046426440406783942012-05-21T10:28:35.053-08:002012-05-21T10:28:35.053-08:00I have a Baptist friend who calls it "Baptist...I have a Baptist friend who calls it "Baptist Standard Time." I think it's really just rude people trying to excuse their rudeness.<br /><br />I was in the foyer with Adrian by the middle of the opening hymn yesterday (yeah... it's going to be on of those days if that happens). I was shocked at how many people get to church between the opening hymn and the end of the Sacrament being passed. We sit in front so I don't usually see that.Heather the Mama Dukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314177816405887405noreply@blogger.com
