Sacrament Meeting of the Future

Post by moksha » Wed Dec 06, 2017 3:09 pm

SALT LAKE CITY - Ever wonder what a future Sacrament Meeting Might be like? No more confusion among the deacons as to which presiding authority to serve first, which row has been missed, or how to line up properly. No more priests fumbling the precise wording of the prayer. A Sacrament Meeting executed with robotic precision.

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I love it, Moksha.

I think you just helped me figure out what the church is planning for the vast wealth they're accumulating. The Brethren will finally have what they want when the flesh (which is weak) is replaced with steel (which is strong). Imagine conference halls filled with throngs of adoring robots who work for free, never expect anything in return, never doubt or question, believe that the most mundane things their masters do are miracles, and have neither genitals nor desires to drink tea or look at porn. Lubricated with consecrated oil, capable of both generating endless lists of random names of "the dead" and performing ordinances for them at lighting speed, using the basements of the temples to assemble more copies of themselves...

Maybe at some point they'll all assemble themselves into a gigantic Voltron-esque RoboJesus that will lay waste to the cities of the earth, just as his 3rd Nephi prototype did the cities of Ancient America, and usher in a new millennium for their geriatric overlords and their West World child brides.

Totally unrelated question: how does one go about submitting a fan script to the South Park guys?

Hold on! Why would they add robotic automation to sacrament meeting and to the sacrament? That's (allegedly) the most important and meaningful part of the meeting. Get that robot to clean those filthy restrooms on Saturday morning instead of coercing humans into doing this!

They don't need robots, it would be such a tremendous waste after they have become so adept at raising children and training new converts to be mobots.

Mobots! Love it! Perhaps they will adapt to a hybrid version where they'll call them in for worthiness interviews and ask them if they touch their mobits. Regardless of the answer, they'll just pull the source code and data logs to determine if they are telling the truth. Yes = worthy. No = Mobobatur.

Site admin, since it's Christmas time and you're all bored, looking for extra stuff to do......we need a "best of NOM" section on the forum. I have thought this before.

And this post belongs there:

Ah, but there will always be a few human hangers-on who will be eager to do the most menial tasks for scraps of approval from the fifteen brains-in-jar overlords who wager precious quatloos over their performance. Besides, we don't want the Mobots distracted for one nanosecond from their sleepless nonstop praising the Man.

Rubin, here us a more spiritual video from Budweiser that involves gravitation, electromagnetism, the weak force, the strong force, and the Doctrine of Bruce R. McConkie.

Excellent! Except the only thing we use Budlight for in our house is washing DWs hair, at least it still serves a purpose. But here's to big beer makers with lots of money for good marketing! Dilly dilly!

So Budweiser thinks they can trademark an Old French word that came to English via Anglo-Norman French. Perhaps Budweiser could take that up with the 17th Century folk song Lavender Blue, Dilly Dilly or its usage in the 1948 Disney Classic Cinderella.

Better for Budweiser to seek a trademark for the Reformed Egyptian word Adieu, once they can explain its usage by ancient Nephites.
