I appreciate your thoughts Too, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

I'd agree with this too. Sometimes Bishops go too far in this regard, but it's the rare exception, not the rule

Why can't we work it out on our own? I guess because we are instructed and commanded to confess our sins. I don't think the Bishop's role is a mediator between us and the Savior but rather someone to help put the offense in perspective so that the right recompense is given. Will this change? Perhaps, someday when Heavenly Father seems fit to do so. I think we have changed in some aspects already as the sin is not confessed publicly before the church as it once was. But I do believe that the process in place now is inspired and ordained of God. And like I mentioned in response to Jay's post, should a revelation be made to move away from current procedure, that doesn't mean that the process was unauthorized during its implementation irrespective of what man may think. I don't know if I have answered your question satisfactorily. I have enjoyed this exchange too. To think at one time I thought you were solely capable of talking trash on the basketball court.
