  1. I'm a new councilor in a Bishopric and I have recently had to sit in on some church courts. Not a pleasant experience but a necessary one. I can tell you that it will be uncomfortable for both you and your bishopric because you will be asked why and how kind of questions and you will need to explain it to them. Believe me your Bishop has heard many things from other members just as bad as yours experiance and his number one focus is your salvation and your repentance. He will be looking to see if you regret the sin because without remorse he will doubt that you want to truly repeat. He wants you to feel whole and he really does love you I know my bishop loves everyone in his ward he just wants to help. Don’t look at it as how HE will he feel about you its how do YOU feel about you. Since you have the priesthood and have been through the temple your repentance may take awhile and you will have to give up your recommend, callings, and refrain from taking the sacrament. I can't guarantee this but we try hard not to excommunicate someone but MOST likely you will be dis-fellowshipped for awhile maybe a year and you will have to meet with the bishop regularly. But in the end you will forgive yourself and you will feel clean and you can go to the temple and not feel guilty. I hope this helps. I’ve responded to you because you’re in a unique position to give me some advice can I ask you about same sex attraction? My son is 17 and he thinks he is gay and I’m struggling with it.
