Yes folks, several things in life have automatic "if / then" clauses, for example:
- If a child has bruises, then her parents put them there
- If your hubcaps are missing, then the nearest Mexicans stole them
- If an LDS couple separates, then the guy is to blame and certainly his priesthood is unworthy.

When I was going through a divorce the bishop asked for my temple recommend. I didn't really understand the reason why because if there ever was a time where I needed to feel the comfort of the temple that was it. Still, I respected his request and handed it over.
After my divorce was official, which seemed to take forever, he then gave it back to me.
