The List

Yesterday in church we met in a surprise combined meeting for 15 minutes. (In this case surprise could be a misleading word, because you might be anticipating an unexpected fabulous announcement like church is getting downsized to two hours or snacks will be provided in all block meetings, but surprise in this case simply means unexpected.)

The stake has decided to force everyone to attend the ward in whose boundaries they reside... meaning everyone who's illegally attending our ward is getting the boot. While this process is sad (as our ward will be losing all the "old-timers" and 25 percent of our attending body), the best part about this whole announcement was the way they went about announcing who got the boot.

During the meeting, a list of 64 names was posted on the bulletin board. These individuals didn't make the ward team and are being cut.

Is it morbid to find this slightly funny?
