The elephant in the room...
Mormon bishops receive little to no training in counseling their wards...they’re laymen who have been promoted to these positions because they’ve been “diligent” and “faithful” in following the precepts of the faith.
The bishop gave a boilerplate response to one of many problems members face...”get active, stay busy, act normal and all will be well.”
And now, a woman and her children left holding the broken pieces of a lie perpetrated by this man who was “counseled” by someone not even remotely qualified to help him or the family.
Prayers for the ex-wife and the children...
I’m SHOCKED....SHOCKED I tell you...that the money counters in the mormon church are willing to give up the tithing bucks that could be gleaned from the gays...the gays that I have known were quite well of financially.
