Compassion?! Compassion for what? Compassion means feeling with someone with the goal and ability to help someone become happy. Compassionate doctors cure the sick, for example. They recognize someone else is sick, they have disciplined themselves to receive difficult education and a difficult course of practice in order to have the ability to help a sick person become well, become happy. It's very practical. A MLM fraudster, on the other hand, exploits the sick person by using the placebo effect against them. The fraudster may care about the person's illness, but, because they lack ability to do anything competent about the problem, they cannot be compassionate.
Mormons have a view of reality based strictly upon an a particular view of the afterlife, with a literal belief in ghosts thrown in. In other words, completely impractical. It's simply the opinion that "I'm right." If one's a SP, they believe not only that they're right, but also that God and Jesus confirm every thought in their heads, and their righteousness. This arrogance--wearing the authority of God--isn't compassion, this is an obstacle to compassion. Even if the SP is empathetic, and really wants you to come back, repent, and resume your progression to be with Jesus forever, it's meaningless because the program itself is made up. Any natural sympathy or empathy is stamped out because of the errors in the practicality part.
If you want to resume your progression to be back with Jesus forever, you've got to ask yourself, not necessarily if you want to repent of whatever got you ex'd in the first place, but what makes you think that TSSC's got the formula to get you back to God. Well, they certainly say they do, and they believe it. But so what? What's the theoretical proof? JS claimed he was a prophet and received the restoration of the true church. On what grounds should anyone believe JS? JS never had a true prophecy in his life. Personally, he was not only "just an man," or "imperfect," he was a criminal. The doctrines change on a whim, so what's the grounds to believe any of it? The whole thing is like repenting of sin in order to be allowed to play a video game, or be one of the cool kids. What has compassion got to do with it?
Whatever the problem is that one seeks compassionate attention from someone else, I would think an SP, backed by the ComicCon that is TSSC, is not the place to go. If you happen to know this SP personally, and he's a wise man, sure talk to him. But the fact that he rose to SP suggests he's deeply deluded about how and why people become happy.
