If you had to categorize the LDSFF, what would it be? ProgMo? Apostate? ChapelMo? I’m unfamiliar with the place, so help a brutha out?

As the LDS Freedom Forum is so against the leaders of the Church, I am at a loss why they are not experiencing blowback from the Church. The opinions being promoted over there are far worse against the Church leaders than those promoted by Mormon Stories John Dehlin who has been excommunicated, but the views promoted over at the LDS Freedom Forum against the prophet and the other leaders of the Church are far more extreme than any other excommunicated folks, yet they are left alone to carry on with their "apostasy".

Who is behind the LDS Freedom Forum, and why is their "apostasy" so ignored by any entity of Church discipline?
Part of it might be the anonymity. I don’t think the LDS Church excommunicates screen names. ;)
Is this why they haven't excommunicated Consiglieri yet?

One wouldn't know unless the member disclosed his excommunication. Lots of people get excommunicated and you don't know it.

If a member is excommunicated without notifying the member, does it still count in superVIP heaven?

They are mostly whackjob conspiracy theorist who believe that the Church's leaders are destroying the Church because they aren't as crazy insane crazy as them.

While there was a lot of good stuff at LDS Freedom Forum, I lost interest in them when they were promoting the 9/11 crap, especially the stuff by a Utah Professor or whatever who did some bad analysis etc., I forget the details.

So, not surprised if they've went even further into conspiracy land.

I have my criticisms of today's Church leaders, banning having guns in Church, banning those in service mission such as Mission Presidents from speaking or even I guess being involved with political events, allowing its bishops to distort what "cohabitation" actually means, preventing me from saving my family, when my ex softened her heart some and wanted me to just live with them, essentially being a baby sitter, maid, etc. thus NOT the definition of cohabitation, etc.

So, I'm not happy with some things, but I understand those in the church can be sometimes imperfect.
I should know, the adopted family I lived with for 6 years total in my youth, were emotionally and physically abusive toward me, he was a bishop several times, a counselor in the Stake Presidency, molested me some, was secretly homosexual, their oldest son also tried to make me suck his wee wee and when I wouldn't he body-slammed me, breaking my leg in two places, etc. etc.
But, I've also had a LOT of other good Bishops and known many good members in the many towns/cities I've lived and chapels I've attended, etc.

So, I don't expect the people to be perfect... They ARE however among the best, despite the imperfections, and even though they are worse as society has also gotten worse, they are still among the best. They aren't after all the Leftists who destroyed EVERY major city in the U.S., some many times over.

Anyway, sounds like some of those at LDS Freedom Forum might need to get over themselves some.

Um… a bishop prevented you from living with your ex? You may have told this story before, but I don’t remember the bishop part. How did they prevent you?

This is the prophesied day of Trump's reinstatement. I imagine LDS Freedom Forum participants have their hunting rifle in hand waiting to blow the horn on their pickup trucks.
