Molly Mormon Standards Trial: Miss Divine Nature on the Stand

For our Standards Night we wanted to test the standards as found in the pamphlet “For The Strength of Youth.” We put Miss Molly Mormon Standards on trial (script: Molly Mormon Standards on Trial). She was tried in the Court of Kansas City First Ward Judicial District in the State of Cool with the Honorable Judge Bishop presiding. Miss Standards was charged with one count of deference to modesty and a second count of intolerance to trend with popular culture. The prosecutor Ms Cool brought three witnesses to the stand to testify against Miss Molly Mormon Standards. The Witnesses included: Prom Queen, Candy Samples and Ava Tar. The defender, Ms P. Progress (the P. stood for Personal) also had three witnesses. They were Miss Humility Anne Modesty, Miss Integrity Virtue (Ivy for short) Wisdom and Miss Divine Nature.

Invitations to the Young Women and their parents was an official looking “Supoena”.

(In an official looking envelop).

The achievement/activity Primary girls were our jury so they received an invitation via a summons for “Jury Duty”.

(Also in an official looking envelop).

For our standards night we used the theme “2 ‘Bee’ Holy”.

“2 ‘Bee’ Holy”

That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. Numbers 15:40 )

It was an extension of this years mutual theme “Stand in Holy Places.”

“Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord” (Doctrine and Covenants 87:8)

Temple President of the Kansas City Missouri Temple, President Hardy and Temple Matron Sister Hardy were our guest speakers.

In their talks we asked them to emphasize how each YW can make herself holy in these times even with all the challenges faced in the world today, to know they can be in the world but not a part of the world. And that we can be holy at all times, in all places and in all things, even as we are bombarded with many outside forces. We wanted our Young Women to learn how to find the strength from within, and that strength comes from our personal relationship with our Heavenly Father.

They did a wonderful job!

We decorated using the “2 ‘Bee'” theme;

Welcome table with programs using bee theme.
