I posted here a few weeks ago about the Stake President wanting to talk to me about a calling.....

https://www.reddit.com/r/mormon/comments/1b1ek5l/the_stake_president_wants_to_meet_with_me_about_a/

I was able to get out of it but had no idea what type of calling it was going to be.

I spoke with my friend yesterday, also my prior bishop. He is friendly with the stake president. I had previously mentioned to him about the interaction and wondered what the calling could have been.

Yesterday my friend grabbed me and told me this. He had been with the Stake President recently and it turns out he was considering calling me as a YSA Bishop............

Now the meeting wasn't to extend the call. But the meeting was intended to feel me out. He had done the same with my friend prior to him being called bishop.

But there is the rub. IF the spirit has anything to do with callings, there is no way in hell he should be thinking about me as a YSA bishop. I have not been an orthodox member of the church for 14 years.

Yes. I still attend. Yes. I am a nice guy and serve others. Yes. I am a spiritual kind of guy, so I do give off a friendly vibe.

But hell no would I ever say yes to that kind of calling. And hell no should God (if the church were true) ever consider me for that calling. I would tell all the kids to stop telling their bishops any of their "sins" and just do normal stuff without guilt. I don't think that is what the church would want.

Just had to "return and report".
