OK you potential Bishops out there
Young lady in your ward at age 17 has intercourse. She repents and does all the things necessary to receive forgiveness.
At age 22 she has fallen in love with a very charming young man. However, his P blessing says someday he will be amongst the leaders of the church and sit in council with them. He doesn't want anything coming out of the wordwork when that day arises. He shows the fiance's Bishop the P Blessing and asks, Bishop has my fiance ever confessed having pre-marital sex. What do you tell the young man. |

I would refuse to say a thing, and then immediately call her and say "your fiance is asking if you have ever confessed sexual sin to me. Thought you might like to know. Being married to a mullah is not all that btw."

I would tell him that if he was so petty to worry about something like that then he probably wouldn't be called to one of those positions anyway.
I'm sorry I probably shouldn't have answered this question since you directed it to potential bishops only. Last edited by RC Vikings; 09-13-2007 at 08:26 PM. |

God remembers the sin no more. Sounds like that G12-wannabe is holding his fiancee to a higher standard than God.
Alma the Younger sat in the counsels of the church. Ask him what his thoughts are on the idea that Jesus married the reformed hooker Mary Magdalene. |

Don't bring up scripture stories; we're talking real life stuff here.

Were I the Bishop:
I would tell the man that the question in and of itself is inappropriate. I agree with the prior thoughts along the line of "If he is that concerned about it then he likely isn't GA material anyway" but if I were the Bishop I wouldn't express said thought.

There's a lot of potential bishops in here. Not me.

I just posed this "hypothetical" to my brother who's a Bishop in a Murray Ward.
His exact response..."Apparently this guy doens't believe in the Atonement and she's getting into bed with a guy holding a recommend, but who yet lacks a testimony and I'd carefully and kindly warn her to be wary of control freaks like this guy." My brother's final words..."By that way...that is unbelievably arrogant. That blessing could mean he will be on the High Council or the Ward council for all he knows. What a head case." So there's one Bishops view on it.
