- He founded a home study group in Manti and eventually a number of participants in that group were excommunicated.
- He went up and bore his testimony upon moving into his new ward without informing the Bishop of the ward that he was in fact excommunicated.
In this case, I think the Church definitely has an interest in advising the members of Sterling's congregation that he was excommunicated.
I also don't believe that the Bishop/SP in Eagle mountain specifically said to avoid his family. I think Sterling has the statement that the Bishop was going to read in Sac. Meeting posted on his website and I don't remember it saying to avoid his family. Of course, I could be wrong about this last point - it's been a while since I was entertained by Sterlin's website.

I wish we wouldn't excommunicate the Sterlings of the world. He sounds entertaining. It's these types that keep me awake during F & T meeting.
