I get nervous when I have to sit down for a "talk" with any authoritative figure lol (bishop, parents, school counselor, etc.). I really hate it when people focus on me in a conversation for some reason . . . plus I always feel like I'm in trouble for something even if I know I haven't done anything wrong lol. It's kinda weird I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate it when people focus on me in a conversation for some reason . . . plus I always feel like I'm in trouble for something even if I know I haven't done anything wrong lol. It's kinda weird I guess. I should clarify, I'm not referring to a churchy convo or anything. Let me explain. My stake is centered around a nationally recognized(esp. for mathematics & adjacent fields) university, and I want to expand my professional contacts(I want to be a professor) and I'm planning to go there. One of the counselors in the stake presidency is a professor there, but I'm scared to go up to him as opposed to other members of the stake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Wheeler Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 When I was in high school, I was involved in a theatrical production authored by one of our high councilors, called Abinadi. (No points for guessing what it was about.) The role of Abinadi was played by a councilor in the stake presidency. One day during rehearsals, he was reading one of his lines, and someone in the scene with him made a joke, and he cracked up so hard it took him over a minute to stop laughing. Finally he took a few deep breaths and said "we're going to need to rewrite that line, because I'm never going to be able to say it with a straight face again." This really drove home to me that, underneath the mantle of authority, he was just a guy like anyone else. I've found church leaders a lot less intimidating ever since. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Wheeler Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 It even works on higher-level leadership. I heard a talk in sacrament meeting a while back, it went something like this: Quote Before I retired, I was a salesman at [company.] My boss flew out to Utah for a conference one time, and wanted to check out the skiing while he was there. When he got on the ski lift, after a moment the guy next to him turns to him and asks if he's familiar with the church. "Yes, actually. I'm a stake president." "That's good to hear. So what do you do?" "I'm a sales manager. What about you?" "Oh, I work for the church." "Yeah? What's your role?" The guy grins at him. "I'm Elder Bednar." If you met some random guy on a ski lift, would you ever suspect it's someone whose face you really should recognize, when they're not wearing a suit? But here he was, just out enjoying the slopes, some random guy on a ski lift like anyone else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a faceblind person I always enjoy stories about other people not being able to recognize someone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego Mistborn Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 (edited) True that I didn't get to go to church today because I was sick, but I watched sacrament meeting and my friends mom gave a talk that sounded a lot like Dalinar's story Isaiah is technically symmetrical, meaning he is "holy" in Vorinism too.
