“But in reality this is a much less painful way for them than if I was dragged into court and excommunicated because I didn’t sustain the Prophet.”
You wouldn’t be excommunicated for that. About the only things you could do to be excommunicated are kill someone, cheat on your husband, abuse a child, or other such grievous offenses.
That isn’t what I heard. Apostacy is one of the most heinous of sins, and you definitely can and will be excommunicated for it.
Not only do I not sustain the Prophet, but as you are well aware, I am very vocal in my opposition. Definelty and excommunicable offense. And to tell the truth, I’ve given enough information on FR to pinpoint my identity. One of you could in all likelihood turn me in. In fact I have been grilled on exact dates of pertinent incidences in my life. Generally I only give approximate references.
