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.

There is a personal apostacy, and than there is one that the world is under or was divorced from in general, because of unauthoried changes that was noted in Gal 1. that was so soon taking place.

Paul and the saints tried to maintian the Word until the last apostle was killed off or take from the earth!

Maybe 30 or 40 years ago, but today, you have to commit a “grievous sin”, or request it or be in direct disobedience.

Unless the church directly tells you to stop, and you don’t three times, you will not be excommunicated for vocally opposing the church. My guess is you have never been warned by your bishop or anyone but other posters (grin)

Not by the General Handbook of Instructions.

I had worried about that on a couple of posts, just a hint, do not use pictures on your about page hosted on your own website (grin). I didn’t bring it up because I didn’t want to give you away.

I for one would never do that. Your life, your choice.

“I will defend to your death your right to remain silent!” No wait it’s “ I will defend to my death your right to say something stupid”… No that’s not quite right either… I will defend to my death your right to say what I want you too”… Um, I’ll get back to you when I get this perfected. (do I really need a Humor tag?)

I have heard of instances of people who publicly denounce the LDS Church being excommunicated; frankly, I don’t know exactly where the line is drawn. My impression has always been that one would have to be pretty blatant, as in publish an anti-Mormon book.

Simple criticism won’t do it; inactivity won’t do it; going to another church won’t do it. I don’t think it’s something a person could do “by accident.”

However, I’m not qualified to give you a perfect answer to your point.
