These are not items that were purchased with the missionary's salary (which incidentally they have paid taxes on) for their genuinely personal use.
As to informing missionaries that he was no longer a missionary...again standard operating procedure. In fact, we receive notice when even any licensed minister is no longer licensed. It would be ridiculous to have fellow missionaries find out he was no longer a missionary gradually and through the grapevine. I think it's particularly telling that hundreds of missionaries apparently knew that he was no longer a missionary, but NOBODY HERE (including those who profess to be close to him) knew about it. I think that qualifies as keeping it in house. The tragedy is that now EVERYBODY knows something.

Well that's all fine and good, but what about the Canadians?
I hear that they're burning their igloos in protest.
