    As a married man, have you ever viewed pornography?

    I recently learned that someone I know, while a Mormon bishop, confessed porn viewing to his stake president (yes, he viewed it while he was bishop, and he went on to serve his full 5 years). I think more often than not, for various reasons, we think Mormon bishops don't imbibe in porn.

    There have been plenty of bishops who have done a lot worse. A LOT worse.
    What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

      Of course. Or do you mean who have done worse while holding onto their bishop calling?

        I think CUF now talks about porn more than the GAs do.

              I figured that would hinder the voting/skew the votes. C'mon, we're all adults here (I think).

                No. Just me.

                As God is my witness, I have never hacked into the database to look at votes. But it is possible.

                  Oh, I guess I have never heard of a bishop who remained in the calling after an affair was discovered. But I am not at all surprised that one would continue to serve after looking at porn.

                    If the guy who was a bishop confessed porn to his stake prez and was allowed to stay in office, I hope he stopped asking people if they looked at porn in interviews from then on. And when people confessed porn, he should tell them a bishop is not the right person to talk about porn issues with. Seriously, what does a bishop tell someone with a porn problem? "Bad job. try harder." "Good job, keep trying." These are busy men with jobs and families. Leave porn confessions to internet forums.

                      Don't trust him. He's a deist and knows that God doesn't care to check up on petty stuff like that.

                        Since there are those in the church who believe looking at the swim suit SI edition is looking at porn, I would guess under that definition a lot of married men and Bishop's have looked at porn.

                          Why isn't that porn?

                              Sweet so Lesbian Liaison 26 isn't porn either. I was struggling in my analysis of its deep philosophical themes, so "lack of donger" is a much easier out. Thanks.
