And that it doesn't matter that she has not been to church in a while, because deep down she DOES care. So much. It's her life, and I know she is on her path to finding her way back. I'm just hoping, that Michael will find his way with her. :) Please....<br />I still can't help but think about that part in Unbroken Connection, when Michael was in China. Right? And he went to the temple, and talked to the temple worker. Well, ya know how the temple worker told Michael to bring his girl back there, when everything is worked out? I'm still HOPING for that...Chaleesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667176149929876108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-80450689821868201112010-12-13T20:01:10.076-08:002010-12-13T20:01:10.076-08:00Leesie's had interviews with a bishop or branc...Leesie's had interviews with a bishop or branch president all her life. Most of the time the question would be, "Are you living the law of chastity." She would answer, "Yes," and the priesthood leader would move on to the next question. <br /><br />And yes, Gayle. She is so cheating. She's not getting anywhere near the real problem. Just dealing with the obvious issue.

It's his responsibility to ask those questions. He need to know how far she's strayed. He, literally, has the responsibility to be her judge. Bishops (what we call our leaders rather than ministers) or Branch Presidents (what we call leader in smaller units--Branches rather than Wards) are there to listen to the confession and help the sinner repent--which merely means change and return to living the gospel. He wants to help Leesie, but she won't let him. We're not done with the Branch President. Watch for him tomorrow.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767644921005073798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-66114868823046915292010-12-13T18:36:23.814-08:002010-12-13T18:36:23.814-08:00Quick question: Is a branch president asking a gir...Quick question: Is a branch president asking a girl questions like "are you humping? Petting?" completely normal? Or is that sliiightly embellished to show the depth of Leesie's 'fall' (from divinity and such) and her guilt? Like, in real life, do Mormon ministers (? Is it right to call them that?) ask questions THAT bluntly? And he seemed to be awfully, well, judgmental. Is that normal, too? And do all Mormons take that in stride?<br />I am terribly sorry if I've offended anyone by sounding unintentionally crude, but I haven't the first idea about Christianity or well, any religion apart from mine. Narrow-minded, I know. So I'm curious. =)Sana Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467309500580743243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105487656463890103.post-6834358055849317152010-12-13T18:10:49.511-08:002010-12-13T18:10:49.511-08:00Jenna, Yes.

I reread Taken by Storm and Unbroken Connection the other day and by far Michael has come I think he has a good chance of joining the church. (Well at least I'm hoping so!!) I want to clarify the part that says "There is too much Michael shouldn’t hear—can’t hear—ever." Is she talking about how she was arguing with Phil over Michael?Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022893974207710988noreply@blogger.com
