Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
It is true that affiliate and associate are obviously synonymns. Therefore, I suppose that those of us who participate here would view you as an associate or an affiliate of this group. However, I don't really view this association any differently than I would consider associating with people at my job who may have adverse feelings toward the Church. Since the term "affiliate with" is sandwiched between "support" and "agree with", it seems to me that the question is addressing whether or not we are agreeing with that individual's view. As long as we are not, then the question can honestly be answered, "no".
Well Vegas, I suppose I'll be sure to tell all the people in my ward who have apostate children that they must break off all contact if they wish to remain temple-worthy. I suppose you have finally provided all the evidence needed to demonstrate that Mormonism encourages divorce and shuning in the case of wayward family and friends. And for a second here I thought the CHI said nothing on the matter of shunning or divorce in such cases. Little did I realize it was right under our noses.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO
I was thinking the same thing as Asbestosman. We don't "shun" in this church. Some of our most challenging work in our wards and among our families is maintaining loving relationships and friendships with those who've left church activity and are bitter.
The temple recommend question is more geared to helping members avoid falling into apostate groups--Like what happened to members who affiliated with Jim Harmston.
So, I guess Vegas, you'll have to find some other way to get rid of us.
The self-indulgent mental-masturbator has grown silent. So like a person with no scruples to just abandon an issue they introduce and are suddenly incapable of holding up. We can rest assured that he will show his ego again soon when he formulates another idiotic attempt to make Latter-day Saints appear stupid and immoral. I would assume he had better things to do if I didn't know any better. Perhaps another obscene thread directed at me will pop up in the Telestial Forum so that Vegas' ego can be stroked back to erection. I can hardly wait.

So are you ever going to admit that you were wrong about the temple recommend question, or does your ego not let you do that since it outgrew the rational side of your brain? Everyone here is pretty satisfied with your humiliation of yourself, but I'd like to see you actually come to grips with the fact that you're wrong fairly often. Just for me, say you were wrong.
