8. Sunday worship The ambition is usually to have it last one and a half to two hours, but they go on for sometimes three and longer. If you’re in the middle of an interesting discussion, no one is terribly interested in a rigid schedule cutting it off. If I were going to use only one word to describe fellowship meetings, I would use the word “interesting.” LDS meetings are, to me, excruciatingly boring. It is the same bland, uninteresting material hour after hour, week after week, month in and month out. These fellowship meetings are interesting. The scriptures are parsed carefully. Interesting events from Mormon history are considered. Things that might get people scolded in a Gospel Doctrine lesson are discussed openly. Our objective is not to criticize but to learn something, but if it exposes an embarrassment for the institution, there’s no reason to shy away from it or say it is not troubling or puzzling.
