I'd never let my kids have an interview alone with the bishop because he has no appropriate sense of boundaries and I've seen him demonstrate it, and be verbally abusive, in a number of situations with several ward members, including an incident with his wife my son witnessed. I think it's very telling that he has been in about 3 years but about half-way through, one of his counselors was released and replaced with a man who had recently moved into our ward from another ward in the stake - a ward where he was bishop until his move. It's almost like the SP wants another bishop in to keep an eye on the actual bishop. Or maybe our bishop is just lazy and asked them to call someone who would do the work for him. Anyway, the bishop is trouble and I heard that every year, the church has to pay out hush money to people who have been abused or had their children abused by the bishop. I know stats would never be released but I wondered how many bishop scandals are hushed up on the local level and how many times the COB thugs have to clean up messes that get to that level. I know the vast majority are quietly settled to protect the Morg's image but wonder what that number is.
