10 Signs You're too OLD for the SINGLES WARD.

I attend a singles LDS Ward. For those who do not belong to the LDS Faith, many of these wards are to "help" single LDS people go to church with people who have a similar outlook on life and have shared experiences. It can be a good thing, however it is mainly for people in their 20's and there is a time when people may "hint" that maybe you should go to the "regular" family wards. These are all hypothetical, however they may hit close to home for some. The characters and situations are all fictional. ( just needed to add my Law & Order clause in case some of you seek royalties or compensation for public humiliation.) ;)

1. The Bishop starts asking members to pray specifically for you to find "a special spirit" during the monthly fast.

2. Other ward members start referring to you as "wise" and "more mature" when trying to set you up with THEIR single parent.

3. When you go to a church dance you request the DJ to play your favorite song, he smiles at you and says, "I love the oldies too."

4. The newly appointed counselor in the bishopric says in his first address to the ward, that he is happy to see some familiar faces. Especially yours because you used to teach him in PRIMARY!

5. You mention to your family home evening group that you went to the Cheers bar when you were in Boston, they all look at you with blank stares and judge you for going to a bar.

6. The year that you graduated from High School is the year that many of them were born.

7. The bishop gives you a calling as Ward Historian, because all of the ward members think that history started with you.

8. You attend a new singles ward with your sister/brother and the bishop tells them that its so nice to have their "MOTHER/FATHER" attend church with them.

9. You find yourself telling other ward members that you remembered going to the ward with their parents. Good times.

10. You make some movie suggestions to the ward activity committee and they turn you down because they don't watch TCM they watch TMZ.

Remember this is fictional, I am not that old...I think. ;)
