Do Mormons believe that the Mormon Bishop who was responsible for the geographical area where a person lived, whether or not they are Mormon, will be judged at the Last Judgment by that Mormon Bishop?

• I remember back in the early '70s, as a new Bishop was being placed by a General Authority who stated in his talk 'a Bishop is responsible to judge the people he is responsible for during the time he is Bishop for the geographic territory over which he presides as Bishop'. He was very specific that it included all people in the territory, not just members.

• I think it's been well enough establish, Science Geek, that nearly everything you claim to “remember” about having allegedly been a Mormon is just plain wrong.  This is certainly no exception.  Bishops do not — and have never — claimed any authority over non-members.

• I am now convinced that you are very ill informed about your own 'Church', or that you are intentionally spreading disinformation under the direction of Salt Lake.(If not I think that you may be in danger of spreading false doctrine Bob - have you spoken about it with your Bishop?). You are quite incorrect about the authority of a Bishop. It is not the Bishops that make the claim but rather the General Authorities of your church, I heard it myself. So however you wish to discredit me by your ridiculous claims that I did not grow up Mormon, what I say is true, I say it on my own, and am not a part of any organized anti-Mormon group. The reason I say it is to warn others of Mormonisms insideous nature. There is no gain for me in saying any of this whatsoever, except for the satisfaction I would gain to know that I had helped even one other human being to avoid what I have lived through at the hands of good, still Temple going members of your evil 'Church'.

• " The only time when "people he is responsible for" might include non-members is in the case when an individual is looking to join the church."

  Even then the interview is normally performed by a full time missionary (District leader, Zone leader, or Mission President)

• Your answer is not an answer it's an agreement as if the question were a statement.

• "anyone with the initials JC should have some more sense than that............ "
  Wait was that all just directed at me? If so I really don't understand, what you mean by it.
  All I did was point out that Nothing just agreed to a question, which I found peculiar.

  " if you really want o know about the church ask, learn and listen, dont make judgement yourself on things you dont know about,"
  I did just that, I asked God, He told me it was true. I learn and listen from His representatives often, including the bi-annual general conferances.
  I really think I'm confused as to who your rant was directed at.
  Btw, sharing initials with the Savior in no way makes me any better nor gives me any more responsibility.

• you will know the truth when you seek it, with a true heart and only forgiveness in you for all those who you think have offended you. you must ask God if what you ask is true. If you come with a humble heart and true wanting of the truth you will get it. YOU MUST LISTEN FOR THE ANSWER AND BELIEVE IT WILL COME

• I've gotten the answer, at least for the mormons. Paul said "Every matter will be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses". You can't know how many "witnesses" told me of the criminal behavior of the church. Because I can't even remember. And it was a lot more than two or three. Many of them were mormons. And when I say criminal behavior of the church- that's exactly what I mean- not just a few members. The leaders of the church believe (or so I understand) "all their lawless deeds will be forgiven" as stated in the Book of Daniel so it doesn't matter what they have to do to fulfill the rest of the prophesy of taking over the world. I JUST REFUSE TO BELIEVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WERE LYING TO ME. IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE AT ALL.

• Why would they then require a convert to draw his thumb across his throat in the gesture of having his throat cut and tell him that will happen if he gives up any secrets of the church. They can say they don't do that now but they sure used to. And not all that long ago. It's been reported that they also used to get everyone to consent to avenge the blood of joe smith against the U.S. government. Now let's hear them howl!!!!
