Hello lost one.
Welcome to the site. I suppose we are all a big family....a big dysfunctional family!
As I have read your thread, I have the same question as others. Why two years? I know I don't know the details, but from my experience, getting recovering PA's on their feet and feeling the Spirit in their lives helps more than holding off on badly needed blessings because of technicalities. Hmmmm. And only talking to the bishop once a year doesn't seem like the program I have seen. Most repentant PA's meet with their bishops frequently if not weekly. When a person is baptized they are clean every whit and a clear indication that forgiveness is there. So, why two more years for priesthood and temple? It just doesn't seem right that he would put you on an immediate probation after membership is restored. I know the church used to be very hard for this kind of thing, but it seems the more they learn, the more compassionate and encouraging they are being. Perhaps your bishop is less informed about newer approaches.
I am also wondering what recovery program seems to be working for you. I know that the 12 steps are quite effective, especially the LDS version.
