What? Where do you get that?
Scott Trotter, spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints release this statement yesterday:
Kenneth James Ward was a former member of the Church who resigned his membership in 2004.
He was excommunicated decades ago, came back to full fellowship, then resigned his membership over 5 years ago.
How does that make him “still on the rolls” of the church?
KSL.com reported that the LDS Church confirmed Kenneth James Ward was a member.

Note that the article did not say he was an ex- member -- but was a member.
Now, if it's just coming out that he resigned his membership, that doesn't necessarily mean he was dumped from the Mormon church rolls. You know & I know that often takes a lengthy process; and sometimes the Mormon church isn't the one "pushing" people off the rolls...depends on person -- immoral lifestyle or critic of Mormon church or leadership, for example -- and who's administrating it all.
