I assume you want all the women to have fake breasts?

Only if he's their attorney.

On the contrary. They should be polite but not obsequious. The object should not be to avoid excommunication. Non-violent passive resistance.

LDS leaders killed Kate Kelly!?!

I can confirm that as of 15 minutes ago, she was very alive.

Humblebrag!

Right. Nothing to see here, news outlets. Except for how remarkably tolerant we are, maybe!

(psst...it's more than two...)

Not according to the NY Times. Biggest wave since 1993.

Humblebrag!

Nothing humble about it!

One of the early NYTimes articles about the Kelly Affair stated that the LDS church ex-communicates "approximately" 2,000 people annually. It's hard to gauge how they came up with that number, but if it's in the ball park then there are certainly a lot of inactive ex-communications happening. Unless there are a lot of under the radar ex-ings of active mormons going on.

I think you missed a '0'...

Number of people exed by Jesus: 0
Number of people forgiven by Jesus: everyone

Moral authority that the LDS Church has after the way they have treated blacks, gays, and others who would classify as the "least of these" -- None.

you dont even try to make sense anymore.

It will be interesting to see the reaction in the coming months and years. Will apostasy and agitation for reform increase as it did throughout the Soviet Union after the crackdown in Hungary, or will this crackdown crush the uprising like happened after the Tiananmen Square protests?

I'm not one to call others crass, but this just doesn't strike me as funny at all.

But, but, but...

Some outside these and other faiths like the Catholic Church that practice church discipline seem surprised by it, but church discipline in Christianity has existed since Jesus Christ described it in the New Testament (Matt 18:16-17); Peter corrected Simon for offering to pay for the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 8:9-24) and Paul discussed it in his letters to far-flung church members. (1 Timothy 1, 1 Corinthians 5:1-8, 11)
In 1536, John Calvin described what he called ecclesiastical discipline as a remedy "which Christ enjoins, and the pious have always had in use."

LOL.

The only thing that article is missing is some kind of historical testimonial. Something like, "I loved my church discipline. Greatest thing that ever happened to me."

Maybe we should dust off the Malleus Maleficarum & get the Inquisition going again.

It wasn't intended to be funny. It's how I see it.

If the OW want to keep themselves positioned as women working from within the framework of the gospel they are going to need to start distancing themselves from Kate Kelly pretty quickly. I don't think she's stable enough to maintain the front.
