Thanks to kimball's Temple Name Oracle website, I was able to learn my TBM husband's temple name. Last night I told him that it had been 'revealed' to me. He froze - I mean literally froze mid-movement - and asked through gritted teeth how I had gotten that information. I started to explain about the recycling of names and he brushed it off, saying he already knew all that, but just wanted to know how I personally would have gotten the info.
I was surprised and asked, "You mean you already knew about the name recycling? And that everybody that day gets the exact same name?"
His reply was: "Yes. I imagine it would be very confusing for the temple workers otherwise."
"But doesn't that make you wonder what the point is? Do you ever wonder -- "
He suddenly cut me off and stormed out of the room, saying angrily that whether he wonders anything or not doesn't matter, that it's only faith that matters. And since he's got faith and I don't, he will never discuss religion with me again.
Period. Exclamation point. End of conversation and Exit Stage Left.
Sad, but kind of fun to push that button. Like tapping on the knee with a doctor's reflex hammer and watching their leg kick out...
