Wouldn't this also mean confession of sin and serious sin where

As I have been reading this issue, the one thing that keeps coming to mind is that
phrase: Judge not, lest ye be judged.
As I contemplate the numerous helpful tips being given, the one that it appears to me
is so many people are trying to get God to renege on his agreement to that individual.
Stacy,
If it concerns you, discuss it with his bishop. Let him know what you
know about the situation, then let him handle it. If he sees any major
problem, he will work it. He is the judge in Israel, not any of us

The Church will, however, see that he is never given a

And for good reason. First, it protects children from possible harm.
Second it relieves further burden of the former perpetrator
Well, it has been said that he was not honest at his baptismal

Certainly, if a person who has committed a crime has satisfied society's
requirements as far as punishment and restitution, and the person has also
satisfied any Church imposed punishments, s/he can be restored to full
membership. Could that man be a Bishop? I guess so, if the Lord wanted him

I don't know about your situation but if I was close to someone whom I
was pretty sure had committed a serious sin and was not repenting I would
probably let the bishop know about it and leave it in
You all will likely recall that one of the questions asked during a temple
recommend interview is whether there is anything in your past that hasn't been
resolved properllly.

I fully concur with Marc on this one; especially these statements:
A. As far as the Church is concerned, if the offender has paid their
debt to society and undergone whatever action the Church authorities
determine, then he is forgiven. Please don't misconstrue the word
forgiven in this context,

Stacy, some practical thoughts. If you reflect on this question with
any degree of honesty, you already know that there are some things we
simply do not ever forgive, notwithstanding the doctrines of the

In fact, two things. First of all, there's a difference between pain (and I mean
