Farewell Friends, I Was Just Called As Bishop

[_ldsfaqs]

But ldsfaqs, his SP has the HG and the power of discernment. No need for Everybody Wang Chung to say anything. Elohim has surely already informed the SP of all there is to know about Everybody Wang Chung in this regard.

Or is the SP just an uninspired man?

As the anti-mormon you are, you ignore important facts to make your judgments against the Church.
Callings are not alone....

1. The person being called must be prepared and worthy. Thus, he has choice also.
2. Other members of the ward, if they are aware of a REASON why someone is not to be sustained to a position or calling, they are OBLIGATED to speak up.

The idea that callings are based on "feelings" alone is simply a lie. Both the person and the membership must approve a calling.
If people are hiding who they are, or people know something and don't speak up, then the sin is on that person, not those who in sincerity judge their actions on the outside.

Callings are NOT made from a out of blue fantasy world, but are instead based on what people KNOW of someone.
You guys claim to be truth tellers, but you are nothing of the sort.

So, in other words, all that stuff about spiritual discernment and callings coming from god is bunk. Right?

He will be a bishop like most bishops outside the Mormon corridor. I know of no bishop who asks a masturbation question. Most ask about sexually morality and if one is worthy without putting a name on it. In this day and age to ask such specific personal questions would be suicidal.

He will be a good bishop.

[_Kishkumen]

He will be a good bishop.

I think you are right about that.

He will be a good bishop.

Not to muddy up this thread but how many bishops do you interact with. I know many bishops outside the Mormon Corridor. I have lived outside it for over 30 years. I know bishops locally who ask the masturbation question.

More evidence the Why me's comments on what happens in the LDS Church should be ignored.

I know of no bishop

Edited for clarity.

Um.. I live out of Mormon corridor and every bishop I know asked about masturbation. Wrong again Why Me :)

Everybody Wang Chung! I'm so very sorry to see you go. I do hope will still consider posting here. Your particular point of view as a new Bishop would be fascinating.

I think it might be a tough new job, given what I think I know of you. Once one leaves, it's very hard to go back. As Luke said "No servant can serve two masters."

All the best!!!!

[_Rollo Tomasi]

After MUCH deliberation and soul searching, I have accepted a call to serve as Bishop. As such, I imagine that my interaction on this board will cease.

Good luck to you, Bishop! You will be missed around here. Our loss is your ward's gain.

Yet another instance of the "not in my ward" syndrome of apologetics, hehehe.
