    I don't know your ex's circumstance or situation but I don't see that as an unreasonable period of time. Clearly, the bishop needs to make a judgment call based on spiritual maturity and how well an individual understand the covenants they made. I imagine 6 months is probably a common period.

      supporting the Utes doesn't disqualify one from a temple recommend? Why not?
      "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

      Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

        Because it's not an IQ test.

              Maybe, I don't know one way or the other, but it seemed awfully dismissive, like a little slap on the wrist. The few cases I know about that are similar ended with excommunication or much longer periods of discipline.

                  Snort. That got a chuckle from me.

                    With this thread in mind, I asked my interviewer what his thought was on that question during my TR interview yesterday.

                    His answer - The Democratic Party.

                      In TR interviews I have given, I've had people from both parties answer with that joke. "You mean, am I a [Democrat/Republican]?" It always makes me laugh.

                        A response of "American Bar Association" never fails to elicit a hearty chuckle, especially if the interviewer is an attorney or a doctor.

                          I figure this fits here as well as anywhere else:

                          MormonThink editor being disciplined for articles written about relationship between Romney, the temple, and the Church: The Daily Beast
                          A Mormon in good standing, Twede has never been disciplined by Latter Day Saints leadership. But it now appears his days as a Mormon may be numbered because of a series of articles he wrote this past week that were critical of Mitt Romney.

                          On Sunday, Twede says his bishop, stake president, and two church executives brought him into Florida Mormon church offices in Orlando and interrogated him for nearly an hour about his writings, telling him, "Cease and desist, Brother Twede."

                          Mormon leaders have scheduled an excommunication "for apostasy" on Sept. 30. A spokesman for the church told The Daily Beast that the church would not be commenting for this story.

                            Yeah, I'm sure that guy is telling the entire story.

                              I think the heading and subtitle are very misleading. If they're accurate, I'll await news of Harry Reid's disciplinary hearing.

                                Gotta love the implication that he's being disciplined because he's critical of Romney.
