Singles Ward Testimonies

All of you out there who have ever attended a single's ward know exactly what I'm talking about. Yesterday was fast Sunday. That meant testimony meeting. I've heard people bear their testimonies on everything from Chronicales of Narnia to felonies. Yesterday was a first. A guy got up and began talking about his mission. He served a sign language mission in Colorado. He began to explain a disscussion about the law of chastity. Oh yeah this was about to get good. He said they usually had to act things out because there weren't signs. He told the congregation that he and his companion acted out having sex to show the investigators what not to do. Incredible. He went into a very detailed account including explaining how his companion used a sheet as a dress and he crawled out from underneath it demonstrate having a baby. Remember this was all done over the pulpit. Awesome. I still can't understand how there aren't signs for these things but what do I know. So all of you out there that think your meetings are crazy, try and top that one.

When S and I were dating we remember one young woman start by saying "I have a testimony of polygamy..." Granted she went on to explain her testimony of revelation and living prophets, but that was fun.
Another good one was when a guy got up and said how he felt he was called to be the example for the ward. That sure made me feel good to know that I had someone to look to as the example in the ward!

Hilarious! I remember hearing a story about a guy whose calling was to hold up a 5 minute and your time is done sign during testimony meeting in a singles ward, probably for that very same reason. There has got to be a sign (sign language) for sex and having a baby. They probably just didn't know it.
