Hey A recomend is given or not depending upon your worthiness not that of your spouse. If your bishop won’t go by the Church HandBook of Instruction, then ask a member of the stake presidency. Do you have any friends that are former bishops? Perhaps someone that can clue the man in that he is oversteping his authority?
Good luck
Wow, I laughed all through the first part of your post.(with you, of course) You took the words right out of my mouth. So you are the new ward project. I may be the next project of our ward soon. I’m not sure how I would feel about those sinners talking about my weeknesses in PEC and making me a project like we did when I was EQP then Bishops councilor. As for the alcohol thing I drank growing up and am fairly sure that I’m not an alcoholic, but you really have to be careful, you just don’t know. Drinking and driving is a terrible Idea, make sure you designate if you decide to. Also, take a PPI, aka little purple pill, prilosec otc, etc.. that will help you not get sick if you decide to drink. Also, don’t expect any drink to taste good, most don’t unless they are pathetically low in ETOH, then you’ll have to drink a gallon to even get a buz. I have started socially drinking again reciently just because it is fun, it makes the parties funner and if your a non drinker you won’t always get invited, although its really fun to watch everyone else get completly stupid, take pictures and remind them for the next several months. Last of all alcohol probably brings more problems and sadness into this world than anything else. Its a gamble if you want to play it safe, then don’t play. Butters Hey, reading your experience and those of others helps me so much, thank you. It is a very comfortable place for many members, inside the “Mormon box” that is. You, like most of us here have seen outside the “Mormon box”. Some by accident, some by choice, some of us were perhaps pushed out, but once your out of the box, you can’t go back in. The question is should I stay in the church or should I go… I also grew up in a small Utah town and saw what happened to those who voiced their concerns to loudly or to the wrong members, they were for the most part, cast out, ostracized, and/or disciplined at church some were even threatened with excomunication. Be strong for you family, one day your husband my take of the blinders and you will be his anchor. Stay strong.
