| 17:22.33 | eightyeight | #IgnoreTheInternetDay |
| 17:37.15 | youtah | Why ignore everyone on the internet today, when I do that everyday? |
| 17:37.41 | jlp_znc | /ignore youtah |
| 17:38.27 | youtah | In more interesting (and real) news: There have been details leaked regarding rumors about allowing for Coffee and Tea being announced at General Conference |
| 17:39.09 | jlp_znc | so long as it's iced coffee and ice tea, right? |
| 17:39.10 | youtah | I can't remember the numbers verbatim, but: |
| 17:39.12 | jlp_znc | :D |
| 17:39.30 | youtah | the church has a retention rate of like 76% with Gen X and Boomers |
| 17:39.35 | jlp_znc | oh, and hot chocolate is now verboten |
| 17:39.40 | youtah | lol |
| 17:39.47 | youtah | and only a 46% retention with millenials |
| 17:39.51 | jlp_znc | postum is right out |
| 17:40.01 | jlp_znc | even warm milk is suspect at this point. |
| 17:40.21 | youtah | 4/10 active LDS millenials state they drink coffee at least once every 6 months |
| 17:40.42 | youtah | 62% of Temple Recommend holders state that they dont drink coffee |
| 17:40.45 | jlp_znc | my daughter started drinking coffee... it's the only thing that gets her through a shift sometimes. |
| 17:40.59 | jlp_znc | personally, I can't stand the stuff. |
| 17:41.02 | youtah | and the other 38% state they drink coffee at least 1x ~ 6 months |
| 17:41.13 | youtah | jlp_znc ditto, I honestly tastes horrible |
| 17:41.21 | youtah | Oh |
| 17:41.23 | youtah | I read this wrong |
| 17:41.54 | youtah | its even more extreme |
| 17:42.10 | youtah | 62 percent of temple recommend holders affirmed that they had not consumed any of the substances forbidden by the Word of Wisdom (alcohol, coffee and tea, tobacco, or illegal or recreational drugs) in the past six months. |
| 17:42.18 | youtah | The other 38 percent of recommend holders had consumed one or more. |

| 21:08.17 | JPaul | and coffee is nasty, it's no wonder so many people have to put sugar and cream into it to make it palatable. Burnt bean juice isn't very tasty straight |

| 21:47.17 | eightyeight | the first library edition of 'the legend of korra: turf wars' released last week, and my daughter and i both really enjoyed it |

| 22:01.52 | JPaul | I started watching the legend of Korra but Amazon only had to season 2 or 3 in prime video (free), so I have not seen anything past that. Now none of it is included with Prime :-( |
| 22:02.16 | eightyeight | really? |
| 22:02.29 | eightyeight | it disappeared from netflix to go to prime, now it's not there either?? |
| 22:03.15 | JPaul | yeah, looks like it's part of "Nickhits" now? not sure when that became a thing |
| 22:03.39 | JPaul | but I'm fed up with every stinking channel wanting their own peice of the streaming pie |
| 22:03.45 | eightyeight | they're there, unless i'm missing something: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+legend+of+korra&i=instant-video |
| 22:04.03 | eightyeight | i just purchased the DVDs |
| 22:04.14 | JPaul | eightyeight, yeah, but you need to either buy them or subscribe to nickhits |
| 22:04.18 | eightyeight | i see |
| 22:04.20 | eightyeight | that sucks |
| 22:04.35 | JPaul | the first 2-3 seasons were included free with prime streaming |
| 22:05.00 | eightyeight | yeah |
| 22:05.16 | eightyeight | i'd say just purchase the DVDs |
| 22:05.34 | JPaul | I might someday |
| 22:06.18 | JPaul | ooh, last airbender and LOK full set on bluray for $70, that's worthwhile |
| 22:06.31 | eightyeight | indeed |
| 22:06.48 | JPaul | As for the whole coffee/tea/whatever thing. Meh. I'll maybe be surprised if there is a change there, but not really surprised. |
| 22:08.03 | JPaul | I've come to realize that if it's not spelled out in the scriptures, handbook 1 or handbook 2, it's not gospel. |
| 22:08.47 | JPaul | moderation in ALL things unless expressly forbidden if you will |
| 22:09.01 | eightyeight | oh, ldsconf rumors? |
| 22:09.06 | JPaul | yeah |
| 22:09.39 | eightyeight | yeah, i'm not expecting there to be any WoW changes. that seems more like something that would be handed down as a letter to local leaders, than a global announcement |
| 22:09.58 | eightyeight | rather, i bet the age for female missionaries is dropped to 18, and they can also serve 24-month missions |
| 22:09.58 | JPaul | I'll use this: https://i.imgur.com/C5RXVrS.gif |
| 22:10.24 | eightyeight | in fact, i bet the mission duration is variable for all- 12mo, 18mo, or 24mo, depending on personal situations |
| 22:10.51 | eightyeight | betting russia is officiall "opened" also, rather than just ukraine |
| 22:11.10 | JPaul | who knows? So many changes recently. I only know about em half the time because I get a lot of the emails first. |
| 22:11.42 | eightyeight | honestly, i don't care. i've been out for 3+ years. guess we'll see though |
| 22:11.46 | eightyeight | and yeah, rumors suck |
| 22:13.24 | JPaul | I grew up in NH and never had a care in the world about most of this stuff. Here it's everyone's business and newsworthy anytime something happens. Kinda crazy to me. |
| 22:13.41 | JPaul | Those darn Utah Mormons :-D |
| 22:13.52 | eightyeight | :) |
| 22:14.27 | JPaul | It was funny, though, we had one family move out to NH from Utah and at first it was the whole "molly mormon" thing with the daughter, (she was about my age) |
| 22:14.39 | JPaul | that is until the first church dance. Wow those moves... |
| 22:15.52 | JPaul | She opened up after that and became pretty good friends with everyone |
| 22:16.53 | eightyeight | the only thing i'll be watching online is the membership report. the growth rate has been in constant decline, recently at 1.48% growth. i'm guessing it'll drop further to 1.37%, or more with @QuitMormon |
| 22:18.54 | JPaul | eh, I feel sad for people that leave the church, but I know that it's not for everyone and they all have their freedom to choose. If you're miserable for whatever reason then I get it, go be happy. |
| 22:19.48 | eightyeight | i think it's more than people feel disenfranchised after learning the truth about the church's history, and the demonstrative pattern of church leaders hiding it |
| 22:19.48 | JPaul | It's when they feel like they need to start a personal crusade or whatever that I'm like "Dude, really?" |
| 22:19.56 | eightyeight | they feel deceived and lied to |
| 22:20.08 | eightyeight | s/than people/that people/ |
| 22:20.36 | JPaul | yeah, I can understand that. |
| 22:21.02 | JPaul | I wonder how many people that are leaving are within utah compared to outside of the region. |
| 22:21.56 | JPaul | the culture here is definitely different. I always heard stories about the "utah mormons" but never knew anyone that had experienced it firsthand until I move here and started working at American Express |
| 22:23.48 | eightyeight | indeed |
| 22:24.39 | JPaul | one brother made a good point during a testimony. He travels for work and noticed there was always something different about the wards that he attended outside of the Utah region |
| 22:25.33 | JPaul | He said it took him a while before he finally realized what the difference was between those wards and the ones here. Everyone that was there was there because they wanted to be. |
| 22:26.15 | JPaul | obviously you still get a lot of that here, but he noticed there seemed to be a lot more people that were coming just because "they were supposed to" in Utah. |
| 22:26.23 | JPaul | at least that was his observation |
| 22:26.50 | JPaul | But I think he was pretty spot on. Growing up in NH church was at 15 minutes away for us, and that was driving, not walking |
| 22:26.59 | JPaul | and we were one of the closer ones to the building |
| 22:27.47 | JPaul | as far as I know we were the only members in our town, (active at least), though there might have been others since our town had half go to one ward and the other half went to another. |
| 22:28.12 | JPaul | our ward covered several of the towns there. |
| 22:28.51 | JPaul | I went back there a few years ago after being gone for 13 years and I was surprised at how few people were still attending. A lot had moved out and whatnot and the boundaries changed a little |
| 22:29.23 | JPaul | I think when I moved there were ~250 or so in attendance. 13 years later there was maybe ~100 |
| 22:29.32 | JPaul | it was really weird |
| 22:31.22 | JPaul | EFF's newsletter today is weird too... |
