You wrote :
"I don't wish to sing EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY about suffering"
and then you wrote
"today, we sang patriotic songs."
Do we not sing Christmas music in December?
Dad music on Father's Day?
Mom music on Mother's day?
what else am I missing here?
At least its not the same 6 or so songs each week like one church I went to.
Three different times, same speaker, different topic, same 6 songs. *That*
might be something to complain about. Not the three short songs in Sac
Meeting.
