How stupid. Doing those things on Sunday have nothing to do with temple worthiness. That's a complete effing joke. The only things the church tells you about Sabbath day is to avoid working if you can, don't eat out, and do wholesome, spiritual activities. I've heard of members who, out of personal choice, only drive to church on sunday, and I personally only listen to worship music. That's so stupid. The church would never condone such a thing, all the leaders are told to never inquire into someone's personal life unless they bring it up.
This IS satire, says so on the homepage. I think it's funny, truth be told. And I AM temple worthy.

The Home page of the website says it is satire of the church and not reality.
The unique culture of the LDS Church brings ample opportunity to write satirical pieces reflective of Mormon leaders, teachings, doctrines and quirks. The articles below are fictious, but offers insight into the complex and, sometimes, humorous nature of the Mormons and their culture.
Since many of the satirical pieces delve into sensitive areas of the LDS Church, staunch members may find some articles offensive and disrespectful. Please be forewarned that some of the articles contain some mild profanity and sexual themes. If any of the described content is unacceptable to you, please leave this site now. For the rest of you, I'm confident you'll find the articles amusing and entertaining

Oh my gosh! Satire or not, this is such a great idea! I dont mean in practice. It would seem a little weird if the Bishop came beside you like a hall monitor "Oops, minus 5 points". I think it's a good way for oneself to judge how well they are keeping the sabbath though. It gives you a quantitative measurement so that you can set goals and become better.
It won't let me copy and paste it though :(
I wonder why you lose more points for doing chores outside (like yard work) compared to inside?

No, it's really painstaking to fill these out every week, just like counting calories. But I still make a valiant effort to earn 120 points every Sunday. (ha ha)

Eventhough this is completely untrue, it would be very interesting to keep track of yourself and see how "on track" you are... kind of a little test to do yourself.
Hmmm...interesting. Maybe I will use this sometime as a lesson to my Young Women and see how good we can all be.

This is totally made up. There is no such thing. I think this is a joke story, similar to the Onion News.
