The photo was taken from the congregation during a recent sacrament meeting and shows a church leader at the pulpit holding up spray bottles, cleansers, and latex gloves as he describes in minute detail how to clean the toilets as the high counselor and bishopric look on. This was an actual sacremr meeting, not a separate meeting. Apparently visual aids are
prohibited from sacrament meeting, but there are exceptions in this case.

That's hilarious. I'd love to see it video taped and put up on Youtube.

I was never told not to use displays during sacrament meeting. People use posters, pictures, objects without any problems. Most prefer the traditional scriptures and printed talk, but I have seen displays plenty of times.

So spiritual. That should really impress investigators.

Whilst this most likely wasn't a church-wide or SLC promoted incident, it's still appalling that a local leader allowed it in a sacrament meeting. Even to take up lesson time would have been poor. I sincerely hope some walked out in protest - but I suspect 90% were otherwise occupied with their electronic devices to even notice.

Think about what an investigator must've thought during that meeting!

That should be enough to scare anyone anyway from baptism. While other churches are busy teaching from the bible or some other type of spiritual message, the Mormon church is giving detailed sermons on how to clean the toilets.

How is this even a church anymore?

As a missionary I had an investigator once ask after a similar meeting (wasn't about cleaning, but some other procedural and non religious subject) when our church talked about Jesus. I didn't have a good answer for him then and I understand why now.

What's particularly rich is that this is some old fart man explaining to a group of women, wives--some with probably 9 sons--how to clean a toilet. Does the humiliation of women never cease?

Why can't a worthy priesthood holder just hold his arm to the square, and command the filth away?

"Brothers and Sisters, we are all full of sin. Dirty, dirty sin, not unlike the bathrooms that the Brown family were supposed to scrub yesterday. So you see, you turn to Jesus, and he cleans your sins away, like this here scrub brush, used in a vigorous circle motion, with lots of bleach. And you got to use lots of bleach on that toilet, just like you got to use lots of repenting to get really clean from sin. And don't forget the vacuum, which is kind of like the eternal principle of tithing, since they both suck.

The real question is when will the church start and Amway type buisness and start selling cleaning products to the Wards?

Come Come ye Saints No toilet labor fear!
Clean the church, clean the church.
We've fired the jan-i-tors to save some cash
Leaving you in the lurch.
We know most of you-u
Will never show
And lame excuses
From you will flow
According to our sound research!
Clean the church, clean the church.

Notice what looks like a male in the picture. No white shirts for him! Plaid works just fine. I wonder what he was thinking while watching the cleaning instruction class.

Yea, visual aids are disallowed....not surprising that leadership makes an exception to accomplish THEIR objectives though....

This was not some Sunday school class or special meeting. Nor was this some lone member acting on their own.

This was a pilot program to see if members responded better by addressing the issue in the most prominent forum: sacrament meeting. This was leadership, with stake representatives present.
