Could she get her tubes tied?

Oh, I see!
I'm too absent to get the behind the scenes jokes. :)

It was a hard one for me. I had to get up and leave before we sang the closing hymn because I was just overcome with tears. I lost my mother last month.
My family and I went hiking and had a picnic in the woods. My children gave me a blueberry bush.

And don't worry about your writing ability in English. We have many people on this site that English is their first language and can't write either.  :)

Members like you are a good resource for a Bishop to have....I could speak with you and ask your opinion if you were in the Ward and I were the Bishop.

None of us have heard the audio recording.  We don't know if the questions being asked were out of line.  Was the Bishop digging deeper into the details because he was a perv?  Or did he need to dig a little deeper to decide if some disciplinary action was required.
 
We've always been taught that conversations with the Bishop remain confidential.  Most Bishops respect that aspect of their calling.
 
Your daughter betrayed him with her recording and sharing of the audio.  If she really was concerned she could have taken it to you as parents.  Not share it around the school to get a few laughs.  
 
Yeh something wrong with the daughter here.
 
I actually feel for the Bishop here.

Sometime people who have been assaulted try to make light of it to convince themselves what happened to them wasn't that bad. Some victims of sexual abuse become promiscuous because they think if they can devalue sex then they can make what happened to them feel less painful.  - just a bit of observation from my social work days...

My mother was a member of the church when she passed.  She had been inactive for as long as she was a member, I believe, since my dad was very against the church.  I was determined to do her temple work for her once the year had gone by.  But, I didn't.  I never felt the Spirit telling me to do it.  In fact, I felt like I should wait.  Not sure why.
 
Three years passed after her death when I got the distinct impression that I needed to do her temple work.  Within a month, I was at the temple performing her ordinances.  I had a very spiritual experience while there that let me know that my mom was there and was happy to accept the proxy ordinances. 
 
Remember that while your mom was not desiring baptism while in this life, there is missionary work happening on the other side.  Perhaps after the year wait, she will be ready to accept the proxy ordinances--perhaps it will take longer for her.  Even so, you doing that work will allow her to accept it when she is ready for it.

I agree with Pam.
 
I do feel for the Bishop. I don't know what the protocol is for interviews. Sounds like the beginning of some very trying learning experiences for this young lady.
 
I will say that I have heard of a Bishop taking questions too far. I know it happened with my brother when he was went to the Bishop in the MTC with some things he had not repented of. My father (also a Bishop) was furious when he was told about how the interview went down. If there is ever a problem you simply move up the chain of command and speak with the next authority, (Stake President).

I'm afraid your post made absoluty no sense to me.

For sure, once killed, everyone remember, we have three days to repent and get ready...oh wait that is counter productive -- prepare now :)

I always think..when the 2 start preaching at the wall..then we know it's extremely close.

I agree.  Although I believe we are not to focus too much on the whether or not this or that is a "sign", we are to take it all in with perfect faith and confidence, and live every day w/purpose, b/c we truly never know when our last day will be anyway.   

When I die I shall finally overcome my oxygen addiction.
