Why did he get excommunicated? Did he become a liability? Did he sin? Do they always excommunicate sinners? Maybe its the level of sin?

“To break the least commandment was to break them all” James 2:10.

So I ask, if the LDS church is in the business of excommunicating sinners then why are there anyone left in ward houses?

I can understand excommunication for people who speak against the LDS church and other “crimes” against the church but sinning is what we all do.

PF it isn’t about the sin but that was an awesome attempt to detract from a news story into EVERY MEMBER HAS BEEN DUPED!!!
I don’t know what he was excommunicated for and it isn’t MY place to judge, neither is it yours. Some sins, such as murder, adultery, and so on are for the most part going to get you excommunicated from most religious affiliations if you are unrepentant... the fact that he was excommunicated kinda leads to the “he was unrepentant” portion of this type of case. Try not reading into things.

Why does any church ex-communicate people?

Couldnt this rant be directed at Catholics or any other church that uses excommunication as a punishment?

You make an assumption in the form of a question, then use the assumption with no proof to try and paint a group as hypocrites.

Mormons believe in a heirarchy of sins, some are worse than others and some are not covered by the Blood of Christ (murder, apostasy, marrying a negro - and yes I can source that).

Making ‘the Church’ look bad is also a biggie.
