I am sure there are wards where early returnees may feel ostracized, but I do not think it is the norm.

I think it's getting better. Back in my day coming back early off a mission to Rexburg just was not an option. Everybody went (70 out of the 100 boys in my graduating class) and everybody stayed and that the way it was.

I was friends with a woman who had an affair and confessed it to her bishop. She hadn't confessed it to her husband yet, but word of the indiscretion got back to her from a lady in the RS who had learned about it from the bishop's wife. If I ever had any doubts that discussing intimacies with a bishop was a bad idea, that episode erased them.

Other end of the spectrum: One of my good friends got a hand job from a member girl on his mission. He felt so bad about it that he called his MP right after, and all the MP did was talk with him and tell him to never do it again. I think it all depends on the MP.

WHo talks about this stuff? I feel like I'm in an episode of Jerry Springer.

On the day before he was supposed to return home, one of my former companions confessed to me that he had made out with a girl from the ward a few days earlier and asked my advice on whether he should tell the mission president. I said, "Did you cast your seed?". He told me he didn't, so I said, "Vaya con Dios".

Crap, on my mission I had a guy in my District admit he was gay. I didn't want to tell him I didn't know what being gay meant, so I just said. That's good Elder, the Lord put us on on this earth to be happy.
