one of you, just for kicks present a dilemma for every single question in the interview.
so that the interview takes at least an hour. and report back. |

I fail to see how, even in jest, asking insincere questions is fair to a bishop or stake president who already spends too much time away from his family. If they were sincere questions, however, I'd have no problem doing this.

I wholly agree--unless you are completely lost and want direction, do not talk about your dilemmas with the Bishop. |

What if an applicant said, "I think the Church's opposition to civil unions and gay marriage is wrong. I'm afraid I think it's immoral. I'm worried that my children will have to be ashamed of this like I'm ashamed of the priesthood ban."

Cougarobgn said it better than I can already, but in my mind, the TR interview is to stimulate the members to consider their own relationship with God and their worthiness to enter the temple. The last question is whether you consider yourself worthy to enter the temple and all the other questions, in my mind, are mere prelude to that act of self-examination.
