If a bishop's wife dies, does the bishop get released right way?

    Bishop in my parents ward became widower 2 years ago. He has not been released. I had an argument with my parents over Christmas as to whether there is or should be a policy that required his release. I took the position that there is no rational reason for such a policy.

      As I was talking with my friend and expressing shock that he was left in so long, he said that he had no problem with it. He said that it gave him something to focus on and his little ward rallied around him like champs, helping him with the kids, food, support, etc. I suspect that would have happened either way, but who was I to argue?

        Mine too. Glad I'm not the only to respond seriously to a Moose posting in the last week.

              Actually I think that was #6, but I am losing track. Most of them I run a utility that bans the user and deletes all posts.

              This is like whack-a-mole today.

                  Chris Williams. He and my father served together as bishops in the same stake. I know he wasn't released immediately. But he did remarry within a year and moved out of the neighborhood.

                    A little off-topic, but what did he do to get banned? I feel at home here (irregardles of Wuappy) and would just as soon not ever get banned.

                      lol. Don't worry. You are not even remotely in danger of getting banned.

                      This is a series of dupe accounts from Moose's Whistle. He has a long rap sheet.

                          That's not a very rational argument. There may. E many good reasons it should not be a rule, but there are also other rational reasons to make it a rule.

                            Moose is perhaps the dumbest internet troll in BYU intertubes history.
