The Guilty (1978)

Bill Burch's film of an unwed expectant mother returning to her hometown. Most of the action takes place in the chapel. This dramatization, produced for LDS audiences, is based on a story (by Elder Marion D. Hanks) that teaches love and concern for others.

Tina Cole introduced me to my wife (now 40 years) and Gordon Jump got me his old Forest Lawn job as well as a new talent agent. They were great people.

I went to live in Utah in the fall of 1978, and I stayed for 39 years. While there, I learned over and over again that I have NO RIGHT to judge (condemn) another person, and I associated with MANY that I know would be looked down upon by "good" Church members.

This is how every testimony meeting sounds if we could hear the inward thoughts of our suffering brothers and sisters

[@Bugiddle]

Tina Cole! Love her. Great acting in this! Very touching. Best I've seen in any of these Mormon films.

I can tell you one thing. In all my life, I have NEVER been in an LDS sacrament meeting that was this quiet

[@neenerz419]

Lol MY first Sunday ever was 8 months ago and yes it is not quiet lol but it's humorous watching the little ones when they sit in front of you or behind you or to the side of you LOL I tend to always bring something extra in my primary bag that I teach in and grab their attention with it to calm them down a little LOL as I've had hand puppets and few of them like my bracelets and they'll play with my bracelets while I'm holding my hand up to them the Reaching Forward playing with my bracelets and it works LOL

[@ZachJ367]

Visit a YSA Ward sometime. It Is sometimes deafeningly quiet.

[@kkheflin3]

Spot on! Where are the screaming toddlers? Where are the parents getting up and down incessantly to take kids out of the chapel? And spilling milk under the pews? And bags of cheerios....etc. etc. Not the best setup.

[@ZachJ367]

As Fast Sunday is coming up this week, it is nice to watch this video. I've never seen it before and it's interesting to see this format of how rather than getting up and saying the same things over and over again, it is somewhat of a dialog between members of a community. A family. That quote at the end saying that when one suffers all suffer, and when one is honoured all rejoice, is one that isn't too often adhered to in the modern community of the Church. We have much to work towards. I hope that I will remember to share this on this coming Sunday for testimony meeting. I look forward to what will come by being more loving and community oriented.

I expected to see Johnny Fever to follow them in.....

LOL. :)

Not much has changed in Sacrament meeting, someone is still late!

[@dancole5795]

So, yeah, let's all discuss somebodies personal business as if it actually involved us. This is disgusting. Let's all judge this young women that we have nothing to do with. Pure evil.

[@Dandeeman26]

No not at all evil. Everyone was repenting that's not evil. They were apologizing to her.

[@bradjames891]

Arthur Carlson is a Mormon too :) Turkeys really can fly!

[@professorseventy-five1148]

The funny thing is, he actually was a Mormon

[@brentad2004]

@@professorseventy-five1148 He was probably about as Moromon as most of the Osmonds 😏

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. 🙏🙏

[@brentad2004]

I've never been to a fast and testimony meeting like that. What the Bishop said at the beginning, never heard that either, just saying.I Do get the "sins of omission" thing though.

I'm guilty..…. of love in the first degree.

I have to say. the 21st century people the one dislikes Sunday Academy Priesthood Relief Society and Primary they make Anti Mormons. they didn't care about it. as we do. The Federation Starfleet Council Jedi Council and I won't tolerate the 21st century empires defiance orders. we can't allow the 21st century empire people to Siege the Mormon Sunday Academy Temples and Tabernacles. we have love so we do. my crewmembers of the Galaxy Class USS Enterprise D Exploration Cruiser and I exterminate the 21st century empire people soldiers emperors and empresses with Federation Starfleet Hand Phasers and Phaser Rifles very well so we did. be sure don't follow the 21st century people please. so keep up good work always. 😊

As kids in the 80s we would sing "and will still give thee AIDS". Wonderful memories.

[@rubendhoyos9886]

Yep this is how Sunday Mormon meetings are like, boring.
