bytor2112 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 · Hidden Hidden It seems to me alot of judging on how things seem amd mabey not how they are. Judge not remember. Your assuming to much how sad.Sounds like you may be assuming too? You don't seem to know if they are committing sexual transgression, yet from reading your posts, you sound like you think they are.....and right under your Bishop's nose? Let's suppose they are not....your brother is bunking on the sofa or a spare bedroom. What about that arrangement has raised your ire? More specifically, raised your ire enough to complain to the SP?
TheyCallMeMom Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 I suppose there is quite a bit about this church I dont quite understand.. I thought it was different than the others.. I thought it had higher standards.. maybe I should have researched it more.............. Quote
Maxel Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Guys, I think we may be acting too harsh on TheyCallMeMom. She's concerned about the spiritual safety of her little brother, that's all. I would be too, in this circumstance. Quote
TheyCallMeMom Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 no, Maxel. its the same reaction the Bishopric gave.. its all good.. I will seek guidance elsewhere Thanks anyhow Quote
jolee65 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Have you talked to your brother yourself recently?? have you tryed to find out from him if hes staying clean and in good standing with the church. Im not sure why they didnt respond more professionally, it almost gives me a reason to think your brother might be saying something to the bishop that doesnt put you in a very good light, it just doesnt seem like the punishment fits the crime, hanging up on you, wow thats big. I hope i didnt write this in vain, reading your last post. come on back soon. P.S dont drop out of church over this , its not worth it , the spirit put you here for a reason. Quote

However, we are all still human. I guess I'm not doing a very good job at it.I hope that you won't let this problem with your brother, the Bishop and his family or this thread shake your testimony. What you know you know because you felt the Spirit of God. Hold on to that.If I've said something that caused you to feel like you've made a mistake in choosing to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I hope you'll take it with a grain of salt and not judge Christ's church by my mistakes. I'm sorry if something I've said has made you doubt.applepansy Quote

Robotic condemnation for suspicion of wrongdoing, rather than action based on a first hand observation and understanding of the situation would represent, at least to me, the lower standard. Quote
