JM: I like the way you think. Out of the box. This is the only way anything ever gets done. Thanks for your comments.

I don’t see how, Hubert. You still have the same number of families, but fewer people to visit them

If you merely want percentage to go up, to show a good number to someone, unassign the bad home teachers. Your percentage goes way up.

JM,

You mentioned in your first comment that you had easy to use reporting methods for your quorum members. I would love to know what those methods were.

You can find my email in my profile.

Thanks.

“Steve, re: #51, if you’ll open up your Doctrine & Covenants to section 20, you’ll find that Home Teaching is neither a creation of President Lee nor an anachronism of correlation. It’s a mandate given by revelation from God.”

Funny, I don’t see any mention of home teaching there. Maybe you have different scriptures than what I have.

The only thing I see remotely connected is something regarding “watching over, being with, and strengthining”, an aaronic priesthood duty. I imagine there are many ways to accomplish this. The home teaching PROGRAM attempts to do this, but fails.

Perhaps we should teach people the correct PRINCIPLE and let them decide how to best accomplish their priesthood duty?

(sorry, one last post. I couldn’t resist)

All the GA’s read these threads to receive inspiration for new church programs and doctrines.

D&C 20 says nothing about home teaching. One could argue that home teaching is based on principles within D&C 20 though.

Without a doubt. :)

If you were in Lethbridge and had cable, you could catch it on Channel 12 as well.

Yeah, it’d be a whole lot easier if I’d just go down there and catch the live feed, huh? =)
