He was disfellowshipped. The same phrase is used of ex-communicated elders.

Jesse, this was simply part of the procedure in my mission. I am ashamed to say that I was one of the young missionaries who was asking that question.
Me too.

No, I was responding to a question about the missionary expression: going home with his garments in a box.
The arms trafficker was an active member. He was my seminary teacher for a while.

the wrongness on that is layered. we agree on that.
not sure what the process was in your mission, but if the answer was yes - then it started moving up up up the ladder. DL calls the ZL, ZL calls the office, office calls the MP, MP calls back down to the DL or ZL. we streamlined a bit in our mission, but the process was certainly one that did not include any amount of confidentiality.
if i recall, there were 5 big questions to ask. abortion, felony/crime, gay, something about divorces/marriages/kids, and something else. i can't remember it all.
And over on the MD&D board the Mormons are going on about how the LDS church has a "seal of the confessional" the same as the Catholic church so that what you confess is never told to anyone else.

Turns out I misremembered something. This fellow worked with Edwin P. Wilson, an ex-CIA agent.
