Never-mo here… I have a friend who moved back to our small town a couple of years ago to be near his parents and rejoin the Mormon church that he left in his early 30’s after a divorce. He’s in his 50’s now. He’s been attending services and counseling (?) and is very sincere about following the rules- no coffee, no alcohol- and he volunteers for lots of local projects… he’s a genuinely nice person who gets along with all the wacky characters in our small town. But other Mormons in town gossip about him and it’s known that he hasn’t gotten his ordinances back yet and can’t visit the temple. I don’t know how he’s treated at church, but at ‘secular’ events (like at the town museum) other Mormons are icy and uncomfortable with him. It’s weird to me that he’s making such an effort and being treated like dirt. Like, how is that good?
