At least the Mormons don’t behead you if you leave.
Let me see, we have a counterfeit christian in the whitehouse one whose “religion” no one was to mention during his election so it was never reported. On the other hand, we have a guy who has said he is not running in an election but the dutiful press scanning the horizon for anyone who might just some day appear as a boggy on His Excellency’s relection screen, so they have to blast him for his adolescent years in a church.
“At least the Mormons don’t behead you if you leave”.
They used to. Read up on Bill Hickman, Porter Rockwell, Brigham Young and Blood Atonement. Check out the pre-1990 temple ceremony, where they did a throat slashing oath.
Leaving the LDS church is a sin that earns the violator eternal Outer Darkness.
No, they do stop just short of that. they take your prooerty, and try to take your wife and kids. Read The God Makers. Ed Decker left the LDS church. He is the co-author.

Well, not anymore, but they do shun you, encorage divorce if one spouse leaves, you can lose your job, all your friends and family and even be falsely accused of crimes by other LDS members.
Do some research about how ex-mo’s are treated.
no, blood atonement only requires your throat to be cut so your soul won't go to hell for rejecting mormonism
which mormons don't really do
any more, that is
except when they do state executions...you did know that's the reason utah still has a firing squad, didn't you
spilling the blood of the criminal is supposed to be doing him a favor, to keep him from going to hell
it was brought up in a bill a year or so ago and the mormons voted overwhelmingly to keep it...and the doctrine of blood atonement was selling point #1 in all the churches and they voted in bloc
its also why you see on occaison entire mormon congregations turning out for blood drives...one, its great pr...two, they attach doctrinal significance to shedding blood as a sacrifice against their sins
some mormons may attach nothing more than community service to the act, but to the leadership it keeps "blood atonement" doctrine alive and well
never tell when they might need it down the road, y'know

True dat!
They just call you an APOSTATE and demote you to the lowest level of MORMON heaven©.
