Kirby: Mormon church is blocking some websites? Now I can’t be inspired by the MoTabs belting out ‘Highway to Hell’ during sacrament meeting.

One of the ways I tap into the Holy Spirit during church services has been eliminated, thanks to a Mormon church policy change restricting social media access in LDS meetinghouses.

“Meant to be a way to further the purposes of the church, enhance worship experiences and support administrative functions,” the LDS Church News reported, “internet access in meetinghouses will be limited and not include non-Church-related internet use.”

This was followed by a list of websites and apps now blocked, including Pinterest, MySpace, Twitter, Hulu, Instagram, Kahoot, Zynga, Gamespot and Clash of Clans.

I don’t mind any of those being blocked.
