Second of all, and you don't have to give me any more detail than you're comfortable with, but what kind of "slip ups" are we talking about here? Is it something major like caught drinking alcohol, or something minor like using a swear word?

I just wonder if you're interpreting their requiprements a bit more strictly than they mean them to be, or if your Bishop is being more strict than he needs to be. (coming from someone who has only a cursory knowledge of the process, so I may be way off)
Hi Jenamarie,

One thing you will learn about me over time is that im very open. By slip ups, i mean pornography. Its my big weakness. It would be in my own interest to keep quiet about any slip ups, But i just cant do that. I feel that, that would be living a lie.

Also, yes the Bishop is being overly strict, But he is the Bishop, so i need to support him and respect him. Im not here to cry about that really. Im more interested to find other ways to prove myself to the church.

And thanks to you guys, i have advice that i can follow. I will make a point of going to as many church things as i can.

Thank you everyone.
