I also am wanting to leave my branch. My branch president has been beating around the bush when it comes to my temple recommend. He puts others before me and takes so long that I have to go home and try again the next week. I am an RN and work at a regional hospital in the area I live. I used to work nights on the weekends which makes Sunday's hard. My husband also works saturday night and we have 3 small children, One with autism. I am also the branch choristor. I try my hardest to get to church on time but sometimes it doesn't work out. I do have a backup choristor that was called to help me out. I don't know if he is upset with me because he feels that I am not giving it my all or if he is mad because one time I was supposed to take care of him and I had to say no because I am not allowed to take care of people I know. Last Sunday was the worst of it all. That time he put the potluck in front of me. He said, " I am sick of being one of the last in line and not getting enough food." When he finally decided to do something, he went to my husband and asked him if he was ready to do his recommend. Of course, my husband was offended and so was I. We still don't have our recommends. I have never heard of a president or Bishop deny anyone an interview for a temple recommend. I even switched shifts so that I could have a more productive Sunday... I know 100% that I would pass and interview if I were given the chance to have one. I pay tithe, keep the word of wisdom, try the best I can at my callings, teach my chilren..... I am just filled with sadness and never want to go back to that branch again. I need my recommend! It is essential! Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. What would you do?
