Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in on this one… I do see keeping the Sabbath as mainly being with family and resting from work. Being from a Baptist background, the concept of Sabbath was more about going to church together, not about avoiding work, or making others work. My family goes out to lunch every Sunday like clockwork after church, it has been that way since I was in a highchair, or a crib in the church nursery! I know that eating out was not mentioned, but it can be put in the mix. I personally see nothing wrong with having a nice lunch out after church, I still do it even though I live on my own. I do not see it as breaking Sabbath since being at Church is my top priority that day and everything else follows. Also, when I leave town to see my folks in Southern CA, I am always gone durring the weekend.
Thanks everybody for the replies. I can see where I will just have to post a few “don’t go there!” signs when it comes to my religious preference and marrital status. I have been through the Temple and do hold a current recommend, so I can’t be in too bad shape, at least according to my SP! Another reason I will normlly use for why I am not married is that I am a Military Vet from Iraq. I got home a year ago and am currently in treatment for PTSD and sleep problems, so I am not the easiest guy to live with. Also, just throwing this on the table, since I do attend 2 churches, how do I handle one saying something negative about the other, especially if the facts are incorrect but the person who said it believes they are right and even stating a position sanctioned by the church? I am asking this because I went to Sunday School at the Baptist Church yesterday morning and we watched a DVD about the Bible and getting it translated to English. At one point, the Narrator was pointing out the many denominations were brought about in the 17-1800s and mentioned LDS and JWs among others. The girl I was sitting next to said “Nice how they slipped the Mormon CULT and Jehovah’s Witnesses in there!” How can I handle something like that and not look like a jerk when I am done?
