i doubt the sincerity of your post. But you bring up a good point (and are skirting close to discussing specific Temple Recommend content) - except the questions asked in a Temple recommend interview have no "correct" answer per se...The interviewer receives confirmation from the Spirit with some regard. In other words, one could answer "no" to a question (especially the last question) and still receive a recommend without compromising the intent of the interview. So, it is possible to state that you are not living the WoW properly and still receive a recommend, etc...it is possible, maybe unlikely, but possible.

Off topic, ask me on the appropriate thread.[/quote] Not off topic at all...you made the claim in this thread's OP, as a material fact......which is certainly called in to question by thread as i linked.
It is important as it reveals the "sincerity" of your OP - which may or may not be as accurate as you claim given whatever your motivation is for being in Priesthood - especially since your "story" does not fit the 3rd Sunday lesson plan for both Relief Society and your Quorum - a deviation you have also not clarified - which may also reveal a bit more about the sincerity of the OP. (a coincidence that both classes were off the reservation with the same topic? - are you sure you and your wife were not at a Ward but rather just at two different AA meetings?)

I wonder how positive a change on many in the LDS church it would be if they did make it a requirement. by the way temple recommend content is not banned from the celestial forum. Only temple content.

Themis, might I (in good natured way) say "I told you so" and refer you to my post on 'semantics' + 'subgenius' + 'petty'.......

True. I didn't see him italicize skirt but the word recommend, but then his post still was indicating that temeple recommend content was not celestial, which is incorrect.

CFR. I served on three bishoprics back in the day and it was made very clear that if a person did not respond "correctly" to the interview question, they need to correct themselves and try again.

I answer the question on the thread "What Drifting does/does not believe..?" so no need to speculate.
