Church to update the CHI

Post by Just This Guy » Thu Jan 30, 2020 4:02 pm

The church has announced that they will update CHI 1 & 2.

https://www.ldsliving.com/Church-Announ ... -2/s/92306

No details yet but they are saying 80% will remain the same, but that means that 20% will be changed.

So if anyone has access to these online, start savings copies now so that we can have proof when they change something that is inconvenient.

Didnt someone upload them in PDF @ some point? I remember people going through them while waiting for the LGBT Nov 15 policy to get scrubbed out, but I can't remember if the whole thing was uploaded or not.

I mean... the reason for the church to upload it is because it was leaking out anyway, so this way everyone can access it without the "shock" that comes when it leaks and the ensuing news stories that follow.

I hope they cut out all the stupid controlling things like discussing Vasectomies with your ecclesiastical leaders. They’re my 🏈 and I refuse to discuss it with a dentist!

How about replacing the handbooks with a 3 word placard that reads “Do No Harm!”

Hell, make this the new Slogan for the church!

Imagine if the temples had this displayed. House of the Lord: where we dress in funny ritual clothing, pantomime our own.... uh, uh uh I mean Do No Harm!

The GC conference pulpit could be emblazoned with this phrase. Then every conference talk could end with the guy at the pulpit pointing to the slogan and asking the audience to raise both hands then while lowering them repeat after him 3 times... DO NO HARM, DO NO HARM, DO NO HARM!

It wouldn’t make Mormonism any weirder!

Whatever anyone says about the e-handbook, they'd be stupid to do paper handbooks in this day and age.

You mean close their doors and walk away?

I just stuffed my face in a hat with a cool looking rock, and the rock said:

Be careful, the church might be setting everybody up for copyright infringement - they tried to sue Gerald and Sandra Tanner for it years ago. Such a kind and compassionate church. TCOJCOLDS = Real Estate, Inc. = Lawyers R Us!
