When I was about 12 I remember having an interview with one of the bishopbric (not bishop) IN MY BEDROOM!! Thank goodness nothing bad happened, but it goes to show how naive and trusting they were of ward members?!?! It felt a bit uncomfortable at the time, but looking back now I realize how completely inappropriate this was!!

At the very least, this is amazingly bad judgment...

...and probably a huge helping of naivete, as well.

difficult being asked about masturbation at the scene of the crime. :)

My mind went immediately to the telltale heart. The poor young man looking at his bed to see if something would give him away.

I agree that you were fortunate.

When I was in my early teens, the bishop came to your house to extend callings and sometimes do interviews.

We always talked in the kitchen. Parents waited in the living room.

Same here. Except I was 16 and it was with the Bishop (now in the 2nd quorum of the 70) on my bed- door closed and no adults at home. He didn't have an appointment and had just turned up after church because I "needed" an interview. He asked if I had been doing, "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll" (his words) and then told me to, "Go and sin no more". Nothing happened besides the interview but I remember thinking how intimate it was with him there on my bed and it made me uncomfortable.

What a pity you didn't say "only at Christmas and bank holidays" :-)
