And the reason the questions are posted are to promote discussion, to see what others think about a topic.

I assumed you were confused because you attributed the questions to me, when all I had done was answer them. And also, where do you get the idea that he obviously views home teaching and family home evening as responsibilities? Not saying he doesn’t, but I can’t see where he said that specifically.

But since Kim obviously views home teaching and family home evening as responsibilities and as things that bring us closer to Christ, I don’t see the point of asking whether we should stop telling people these things.

I answered the question, Kim did not. Kim asked the question, I did not. I think you became confused. Kim and I are not the same person.

We have FH every week and Kim always does his HT. Always. Whether it is a culture or not.

So the question seems to be whether we really have a responsibility to do home teaching and hold Family Home Evening, or whether the Prophet is just enforcing a U.S.-centric culture when he tells us to do those things. I vote for the former.

He wasn’t talking about anything, he is asking questions. To perhaps find out what other people think.

What are the things that people are identifying as “responsibilities” but are, in reality, just cultural practices?
