I Answered the Mormon Temple Recommend Questions Honestly | INSTANT Regret!

from Welcome to the weekly MormonNewsRoundup where Al & Dives ruminate on the great and spacious Beehive! · host Mormon News Roundup

Today on The Mormon News Roundup, I’m doing something different.Instead of reacting to breaking news or the latest institutional scandal, I walk through the current temple recommend interview questions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—and I answer them honestly, exactly as they are asked today.If you don’t answer these questions “correctly,” you don’t enter the temple.No temple, no ordinances.No ordinances, no highest degree of heaven.These questions are framed as measures of worthiness, spirituality, and moral fitness—but embedded in them are deep assumptions about authority, obedience, guilt, sexuality, money, epistemology, and even thought itself.I spent decades answering these questions the “right” way. My livelihood once depended on it.Today, I answer them truthfully.This episode is not about mockery or personal grievance. It’s about examining whether these questions are coherent, ethical, evidence-based, or psychologically healthy. If truth matters, these questions deserve scrutiny—not automatic assent.We go through all 18 temple recommend questions, covering topics like:Faith vs. evidenceTestimony and emotional epistemologyProphetic authoritySexual shame and thought crimeTithing and institutional deceptionHonesty, obedience, and worthinessYou don’t need a recommend to be ethical.You don’t need priesthood keys to be decent.You don’t need secret rituals to be worthy.If you find this episode helpful, uncomfortable, or clarifying—good.That’s what honest inquiry does.☕ Yes, I drink coffee.📺 Like, subscribe, and follow for more Mormon News Roundup.✨ Always think celestial.Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: [email protected] Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
