Ok, long story short, I am an "active" member (have to be for the wife, kids, in-laws, etc.) but I haven't believed in a very long time. I attend...pretend...play my role...but do as little as I can for TSCC. I pay minimal tithing (just enough to keep up appearances...I pay directly and my wife doesn't check in on the bank accounts much). I've even done things to try and expose the fraud (I regularly leave a copy of "Letter to a CES Director" in the lobbies of church). In short, I am a complete non-believer.
So I get a call today to meet with the SP. He' a pious guy but at least bearable. And guess what...he called me to become the new 2nd counselor in the bishopric!!!! He also said (something along the lines of) "The spirit confirmed to me in a big way that you are the right man for this position. You are faithful, have an incredibly strong testimony, yadda, yadda, yadda." Honestly, it was everything I could do to not laugh.
So, I guess I will be in the bishopric now!!! In a way I'm excited because now I can tell people to just chill and not worry so much. Maybe I will do some good, even though I know this "calling" is complete and total bullshit.
A marvelous work and a wonder, my unfaithful brethren!!!!!
