Friends shared this with me, and I’m sharing it with you.
The original is at GregTrimble.com, if you’ve time to read 18,000+ words.
Five Things You Shouldn’t Do in Church:
Share your germs. If you're sick and have an assignment, get a
substitute. No one will be glad you played the martyr and filled your calling
if you made them unwell.
Make your noisy toddler sit through the worship
service. You’re not teaching him to behave; you’re teaching everyone else that
he won’t.
Tell us what important callings you used to hold.
Consider Boyd K. Packer’s advice, “No member is esteemed by the Lord as more or
less than any other.”
Make testimony meeting weird. When you share your testimony, do just that. Don’t give us a
travelogue, an exposé or a “thankimony.”
Criticize or "one-up" the teacher. Show a little courtesy. He’s
not getting paid for this. Remember, the guy
teaching next week might be you.
