The New Allowable Sin

[_kairos]

Well 70 ish MP high priest blurted out in gospel doctrine that if the penalty for adultery was carried out today there would be far, far fewer women in the world. Stunned by this outlandish remark , this MP holder has been ostracized in every venue i have seen him in the ward-sorta worse than excom when true colors are known by the run of mill ward member to stay away from this creep. however he continues to try to engage as if he controls all the cards on passing judgment then here, then now!1

My former brother-in-law cheated on my sister-in-law (multiple times over several years) and was never excommunicated from the church nor disciplined. His last hook-up was an active single member with kids in a city hours away, which he later then married. The stake president was worried he would go inactive and leave the church, so he wasn't punished. Not even the protests of my patriarch father in law mattered.

So yes, sometimes there are no negative consequences for adultery in the church. There is no "other side" to the story in the case. A douche bag got exactly what he wanted.

So should the Church hold a disciplinary council for various individual reasons or should the Church be more lenient? I just find it a little ironical that folks here who seem to often complain the Church is too discinplarian seem now to be complaining the Church isn't discinparian enough.

Hi DaKing,

Both women went to their Bishop and Stake President with information and proof of the affair and neither of their husbands had any noticable "church discipline" taken against them.

First, I find it REALLY bizarre that people would be going to the Bishop/Stake Prrsident concerning the infidelity of a spouse. Wrong place to go, in my opinion.

Having said that, I am a little curious as to what this "church discipline" would look like. Any takers?

Peace,

I've never been a part of one but I imagine it to be something like this:

A bundle of conservative fellas sitting around in their suits poking their sticks at the sinful, in their view, mixed up individual, trying to get him/her to incriminate him/herself.

"You're messed up...just say it, you..."

Just playing a little, but that's probably not far off from how some here will view it. Then again, I've never been involved--never been a high council dude and never been disciplined for any of my various and sundry sins.

Here's something that might illustrate the procedure:

I agree with you. I'm sure that as long as you have been visiting Mormon sites you have learned that members of the church are taught to "trust the Priesthood" therefore when bad things happen a normal response from a believing Mormon would be to go to the Bishop or Stake President for guidance.

Church members have also been taught that sexual sin is a pretty bad thing to engage in. I always understood (I guess incorrectly) that infidelity was a huge NO NO and would result in loss of membership for a period of time.

In both of my cases and in one mentioned above it seems that there is a huge amount of leniency given towards the men. I wonder what would have happened if the woman would have cheated and their husband found out. I would hope that nothing would be done to them like nothing is done to cheating males. I just don't know anymore.
