Stacy Smith: Well, it has been said that he was not honest at his baptismal interview. However, I currently have only second-hand information of this.
_______________ If true, another reason to be very careful. It is very rare, in my experience, that a dishonest person becomes honest. His status in the judicial system is a matter of public record, though. So if this is really troubling you, it would not be hard to find out when he was baptized and when he completed the requirements of the law (assuming he has). Three things to consider. First, second-hand information is more often than not unreliable. There are too many motives involved and folks usually don't get it right. Second, since he has a temple recommend, I presume there has been a significant amount of activity and living of the gospel. This would weigh heavily in his favor, all other things being equal (unless he has been lying in those interviews). Third, his bishop may know all about all of this already. If it turns out he is still legally on probation or parole, his bishop and stake president should know and would have the wonderful job of figuring out what to do about it. For sure he would lose his recommend. He wouldn't necessarily lose his membership. If it turns out he is clean with the law, but lied in his interviews to get where he is with the Church, his bishop and stake president will have to figure out what to do about that, too, but the decision would be easier for them. And, since I don't have the whole story from anyone yet, none of this may apply at all. In any event, it would appear that your first decision to not be involved with this person was a very wise one. Don't let your guard down. Larry Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
