  1. Vort, sorry I am on my phone and can't figure out how to quote, but FYI: God did not create firearms. You lose all credibility when you state that anyone believes otherwise. And Funky town, a temple recommend interview is between a member and their priesthood leaders and the Lord. No room for internet bullies in the Bishop or Stake President's office. The whole thread is supposed to just be your opinion to help a suffering veteran. I will say I have no problem with anyone using any medicine under direction of a doctor, and if that help is unavailable, I can't imagine Christ wanting anyone to suffer needlessly. He loves us so much, He lived his whole life and death under the premise of alleviating our suffering. My kids have asked me why drinking alcohol was okay in the Bible, but not now, and I tell them alcohol was likely the only known way to kill germs in drinking water pre-hygiene and refrigeration times. It was weaker than what people now drink to get drunk. I believe , as the WoW states, all things are "for the use of man", and may have different purposes at different historical times, based on need and information available. So, I think if you are using MJ for a need, not recreation, you can stand with a clear conscience before the Lord. Your Bishop may not be able to understand where you are or where you have been, all humans are fallible and look at things through their own experience. Christ will see through your eyes and knows your heart and He knows of your struggle to find alternatives first. He wants you to have peace. If you are righteous in your desires and responsible to not abuse, in my view you're okay.
