No temple recommend, no going to the temple. No going to the temple, no going to heaven, according to Joe Sith. if that isn't punishment, I don't know what is !!
Nice attempt at spin, but it won't get past me.
Routinely? Umm... no. At least not for any of the Bishops with whom I've worked. Perhaps it should be, but I've not seen it.
And, more to the point, that's a potential consequence, but it's not force.

"Joe Sith" ??? So he's buddies with Darth Vader now?

I think you missed the entire point of the original post. The author wasn't talking about how callings are made, or whether you're expected to accept them, etc.. The context of the term "volunteer" was used in contrast to a paid, professional clergy. LDS leadership, teachers and other staff are all "volunteers" in the sense that they are not paid.
