I remember a personal experience as ward clerk with a guy who was an RM who had fornicated. He was wracked with guilt. The bishop didn’t even take away his TR, but instead charged him to go to the temple and pray about his behavior and the girl whose virtue he took unrightously and “go and sin no more”.
Wow, that sounds like a very enlightened bishop — quite rare, from what I can tell. Another post on the board here talks of a bishop who disfellopships upon watching of any porn.
Given the random nature of bishop’s judgments, what is someone to do?
