Will I get in trouble for teaching primary?
Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2018 3:19 pm
My daughter is in my class until the end of the year. I am trying to teach good moral principles, and i mostly gloss over or skip entirely the mormony "stuff" I am consistently with a semi-active brother as my teaching companion, because frankly I am ALWAYS there and they want and anchor in each companionship for teaching so they are not constantly looking for subs. This doesn't bother me too much this year since my last kid is actually in my class and I like my kids. Anyway, point is I often have a substitute babysitter and I teach the lesson "my way" so I worry I will someday get into trouble if my companion actually listens to the lessons and goes "WTF?" What I taught:
The story of Jonah and whale probably is just a fable and nobody actually got swallowed by a "big fish"
God loved the Ninevites just as much as the Israelites.
The Ninevites never became Israelites and yet God still loved them and reached out to them
Jonah's sin was that he thought he was better than the Ninevites
Mormons are often like Jonah and think they are better than other people and this is wrong
What things do other's say about mormon's? Followed by "Have you ever said things like that about non-mormons?"
God loves non-mormons just as much as mormons and doesn't care if they all become mormons.
I had a healthy mixture of calling us "Mormon" and calling us members of the COJCOLDS in the actual lesson. I try to mix the two when I can.
My teaching companion was furiously looking at things on his phone the whole lesson and tried to tell me afterwards that Jonah was probably teaching Israelites that lived in Nineveh. I was kind of like, oh yeah, probably the wolf in the three little pigs story was a Mexican Grey.
