Does God watch with both eyes open? Does he close one eye? Does he squint and pretend not to watch? Does he close his eyes?

Elohim Man God! Look at me!

God hates your sin, but he loves you.


Yeah right. I’ve heard that before; back in the day when I said it to others. But I’ve grown out of that crap nonsense. When will you?

I and my sins are one. I am my sins and my sins are me. If you love me you love who I am. “F” of Mormon god. You’re a joke.

Why didn’t the Church know he was an adulterer?


Church leaders are not perfect and God doesn't reveal everything to General Authorities.

Why would they need God to reveal it? Wouldn’t Joseph Bishop have confessed it to his Bishop or General Authority when having his temple recommend renewed?

Hi Peacemaker, just wondering if your testimony regarding Joseph Bishop’s current state is unchanged.

Hi Peacemaker,
Thought you might have missed this question about your testimony.

Joseph Bishop did not immediately confess his sin.

When did Joseph Bishop confess his sin?

Joseph Bishop confessed his sin before he died. Joseph Bishop was a good man and helped many people. He financially helped a desperate family in need and did so much for charity. I know God will forgive him of his sins.

I find it a pleasant and reassuring thought that I have absolutely no obligation to judge Mr Bishops guilt or innocence. I have been on a jury with a difficult decision. It was no fun. In this matter I am happy to leave the matter to God.

Either way I see no real baring upon the question of the validity of LDS claims.

So he lied during temple recommend interviews as President of the MTC, and he lied during temple recommend interviews after he’d finished?
