Anybody know what Thomas Monson’s options are? Can he just ignore it? Is the U.S. going to be party to the extradition of a U.S. citizen to answer to a U.K. judge about questions arising from religious texts?

I’m sitting here with an open mouth. I think the British courts will recoil in horror. This is just using the law to make a show, an anti- Mormon point. And I’m frankly shocked that a magistrate has issued it.
–Neil Addison, Former British prosecutor
The allegations were made by a former Mormon, Thomas Phillips, listed in the court documents as living in London, though the Republic said he is living in Portugal. The Telegraph in London reported that Phillips used a rare procedure to launch a private prosecution on behalf of two other former LDS Church members.

There are no formal qualifications required to become a Magistrate.
Lots of money and spare time are the only requirements.
They are part of the cult of the ‘Self appointed’,and can have any political affiliation.
Interesting thought here...just why did the mormon temples in England lose their tax exempt status restornu?

OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 71
Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238–239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.
1–4, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 5–11, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.
1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.
2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.
3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.
4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.
5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;
6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.
7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.
8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.
9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;
10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.
11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.
