    I don't think you are supposed to add any questions to the interview that are not on the list. Reading Scriptures, Praying, home teaching is not on question so don't think you are supposed to ask those questions.

Why is there anything instead of nothing? Why would we be at all if there weren't something higher to it all?" We both shared our feelings on things, and he came back to me and said that he thinks that I'm one of the more caring people he knows in the Church because I want to make sure that the right thing is always done. He says that he thinks I'm more like other people than I realize, only that I'm more honest--and vocal--about how I feel than others typically are. He also says that he has no reservations about giving me a temple recommend as long as I do not. So, I have one again.

        I've been re-reading Roger Ebert's Your Movie Sucks. Cabin Boy is in there.

          I think if you don't laugh at Cabin Boy you can't get into CK1, in this or any other dimension.

            Coincidentally, I also had a TR interview today. It's been awhile. After I got the "yard work" instructions, I instructed my leader (B2C) to run "V-neck garment top" up the food chain. It might take a few months, but YWIA!

                Chris Elliot movie, not as overall quality as his Fox series Get A Life, but recognized by comedy people as funny.

                    Sounds like your bishop knows you pretty well.

                      Ebert was a genius.

                      I've heard that if you think it's funny, you'll have to listen to David Letterman laugh throughout the eternities.

                        So what you are saying is that Letterman and I will be in the Celestial room, having known the code to get by the angels guarding the entrance, but you won't?

                          And when I looked closely at the footprints in the sand at my toughest time,
                          I noticed my tracks and the sandals that walked next to them both disappeared.
                          The lonely tracks were wingtips and that ugly cackle became both sweet and fine.

                              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
