....From California to Virginia and states in between, more than a dozen Mormons interviewed in the past week said they had recently been informed by their bishops that they faced excommunication or risked losing permission to enter a temple because of comments they had made online about their faith, the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It's OK for 80,000 mormon missionaries to knock on the doors of Christians and proclaim their Christian faith is bogus, and for the mormon church to have thousands of web sites trolling the internet though!

Whatever they do, they cannot allow the truth about Mormon doctrine to be aired. “Truth” must be tightly controlled.
Ping to Elsie
Sounds like a cult to me.
Uh oh, the Mormon General Authorities are having an “OH SHIZ!!!” moment.
Religion is a private organisation, they can kick them out if they want to.
As long as they are not criminally harassing their apostates I could care less.
Scientology is very Harsh to their apostates, they shoudl be prosecuted for some ot the crasp they pulled as wel as islamics and probably some mormon sects...
No man or men, dead or alive, can give me salvation nor take it away.
Millions of problems with that statement right?
Not the least of which is that Galatians Chapt 1 pronounces a double curse on anyone calling you to "another gospel" (Gal 1:6-9). The actual Book of Mormon states on the cover that it is "Another Gospel."
“the church has to protect the integrity of its doctrine as well as other members from being misled.”

yeah but who’s protecting the members from being misled by the church ???
I agree, Jim.
The punishment for this kind of expose of mormon doctrine is the withholding of "temple recommends" that allow members to take part in arcane rituals that in mormon belief are necessary for salvation.
This also encourages the junior high school practice for members to "tattle" on others.
YUK!
“the church has to protect the integrity of its doctrine as well as other members from being misled.”

Yep, nothing but a cult.
Mormonism is an obviously false religion seeking money and power.
Mormonism is an obviously false religion seeking money and power.
I thought that was Islam and Scientology.
Hummmm how many times have we been told that speech in mormonISM is not restricted....eye roll
Of course it’s restricted, all cults do
mormonISM is equally harsh to people who leave
In addition mormonS say this never happens
Mormonism is Scientology but less expensive.
