It's OK for 80,000 mormon missionaries to knock on the doors of Christians and proclaim their Christian faith is bogus, and for the mormon church to have thousands of web sites trolling the internet though!

Whatever they do, they cannot allow the truth about Mormon doctrine to be aired. “Truth” must be tightly controlled.
Ping to Elsie
Sounds like a cult to me.
Uh oh, the Mormon General Authorities are having an “OH SHIZ!!!” moment.
Religion is a private organisation, they can kick them out if they want to.
As long as they are not criminally harassing their apostates I could care less.
Scientology is very Harsh to their apostates, they shoudl be prosecuted for some ot the crasp they pulled as wel as islamics and probably some mormon sects...
No man or men, dead or alive, can give me salvation nor take it away.
Millions of problems with that statement right?
Not the least of which is that Galatians Chapt 1 pronounces a double curse on anyone calling you to "another gospel" (Gal 1:6-9). The actual Book of Mormon states on the cover that it is "Another Gospel."
“the church has to protect the integrity of its doctrine as well as other members from being misled.”

yeah but who’s protecting the members from being misled by the church ???

oh sorry its not a church,,,Mormonism is not Christianity...

who’s protecting the members from being misled by the ah whatever it is ???
Mormonism is an obviously false religion seeking money and power.
Hummmm how many times have we been told that speech in mormonISM is not restricted....eye roll
Of course it’s restricted, all cults do
“Stop making up your own rules and try preaching the Gospel of Christ for a change.”
On the other side of the coin if a Church has members who are advocating that gay marriage and all of that is ok and should be recognized as godly they should be excommunicated.
The Bible tells us that Church members are there to help keep the Church running smooth,
The apostles Chose members who were very serious about living for God and preaching the Gospel
As well they should!
Don't they realize that 'the thinking has been done'?
You CAN'T make this stuff up!
I know some of those involved facing discipline and they are not guilty of anything other than following their faith and asking questions. I have another friend who was excommunicated last fall for blogging her concerns about church history and asking her Visiting teachers too many questions. For nevermormons - those are women who come over once a month to check on female members and teach a ‘faith promoting’ message.
One of the things that started me on my way out of Mormonism was finding out about “Strengthening the Church Members Committee” which spies on members and reports their books/writings/interviews and now internet comments and activity to the LDS church for discipline. For the Mormon defenders - ask yourself what kind of “church” spies on its own members?!?!
What a conundrum SLC is faced with...heh! This is what happens when your teachings and doctrine are all over the map, incoherent and anti-Biblical.
On the one hand, someone advocating for the “church” to teach and follow it’s own self-proclaimed doctrine should be viewed as something one would think SLC would view favorably.
However, it exposes a simple truth, one that very few are willing to try and expose...the church doesn’t do this except for those things that are convenient. In addition to those things that aren’t found in their doctrine (temple rites).
Thus, the admonitions to them because it would be a tad embarrassing for many of these long hidden truths to be shown to mainstream mormons...IOW, it’s “not faith promoting” as SLC would have it.
