I agree with Wing. The SP is probably trying to help people not get trapped into "worldly" thinking and he is probably very unaware that his words might be offensive.
Girl, look. Just live the way you know is right and let the chips fall. If you are coming back to the church, that is good! Celebrate your successes. Give yourself the credit you deserve. If you have made mistakes, think about those mistakes in merciful understanding and then repent with courage.
And with regards to the missionaries, I would call them on it without apologizing one bit. Ask them where their white hand book is. Sometimes the missionaries need a little mothering nudge to do the right thing. And if they blow your kind nudge off, then I wouldn't hesitate to call the Mission Pres. If I were in your situation, I wouldn't hesitate to say something. I hope that your BF can see that participating in these activities ISN'T helping the work move forward.
