LDS excommunications seldom are made public unless the "honored" individual went quite public with apostate statements or acted in a manner which was clearly predatory in nature (e.g., bunko artist, child abuser, seducer of women, etc.

I have served in various capacities on at least 16 "disciplinary councils" in my 36+ years as a member of the Church and found them to be quite sad occasions in which the excommunicated person was treated fairly and with love and given assistance in the process of repentance and perhaps the restoration of his priesthood blesssings....

You state: I have served in various capacities on at least 16 "disciplinary councils" in my 36+ years as a member of the Church

Question: Are you are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to volunteer for membership in a "disciplinary council" here on FR with the purpose of excommunicating any and everyone that holds a position in opposition to yours?

What will you suggest as punishment for those who DARE bring to light the fallacies of mormonism? I seem to remember that burning at the stake was considered appropriate punishment for heretics in the past.

What would be the comparative punishment you would mete out here other than the banishment of those who oppose you? Would there be an "editorial council" to screen the posters and posts for what you would consider allowing in the way of opinion on mormonism on FR?

I encourage you to continue your present mode of attack against us, as it is one of the best arguments possible of the consequences of power being sought for the purpose of stifling dissent. .
