observant, can you ask your husband if he is ever told or trained that he should ask YM if they are doing this in worthiness interviews? I have heard some bishops do that, and others don’t. It makes me uncomfortable thinking about my son going to interviews and what he’ll be asked. My bishop is a good guy, but I wonder what bishops are told to do.
The counsel in CHI #1 is that nothing is to be asked in the interveiws that might lead to curiosity or experimentation. I also would like to know if your husband has had any training or counsel that might contradict that.
My husband is going to really wonder what kind of people I’m hanging out with on the internet when I ask this. We’ve been hashing this one out for years at our house. It’s kind of a subject we agreed to disagree on so he’s going to wonder why I’m talking about it again! With that said and knowing I have yet to speak to him this is my initial reaction: There is much contention in my home about M. My husband doesn’t ask his own boys about it but he does feel it is a sin. I’m not sure he feels it is a serious sin but he takes it seriously. I have not been able to convince him to lighten up on it. Now this does not mean that he is asking the boys specifically about it. In fact, I know that he does NOT ask younger boys about it just for the concern of raising the curiosity thing. I’m pretty sure he would ask a prospective missionary about it.
I think that you are going to find bishops all over the place on this. It seems that this is another policy that is evolving. If it were me and I had concerns about what kinds of questions were going to be asked of my children I just ask them to explain the questions. But it isn’t just the bishop, counselors also do youth interviews, at least for temple recommends.
My favorite line about M:
Biggest lies in the church:
1) never did it
2) quit when I got married
Well, if folks would just follow the Golden Rule that Orson suggested earlier in this thread, we wouldn’t even have to have this kind of conversation. – “All Things in Moderation.”
