Church Court Experience
A few members of my immediate family were hauled into church court this past Sunday.
To me the whole church court concept is quite the elaborate scheme. My family was hauled in and sat down in front of leading Mormon officials. I was not present in these proceedings nor invited. This is the second time I am aware which my family was brought before the leaders. The first was before I had my name taken off the records.
I don't know if the leaders called other members into the meeting such as; Student Ward Stake Pres, Student ward Bishop, Relief Society Secretary and Bishop's Second Counselor... If they were going to have a church court, they need to get all the facts straight or they won't be able to wipe the BS off of their hands.
I know the leaders asked about the knife thing at the Packer meeting.
I don't know if the leaders asked about the fact that my picture had to be taken out of the living room because one of the young family members was pointing to the picture of Jesus on the mantle and saying my name (true story)(I foresaw that)
The LDS have the power to right themselves before God but they don't.
All they have to do: denounce Joseph Smith, denounce Book of Mormon, denounce priesthood as they have it now, and do away with the temple process.
They would still be able to keep: the sacrament, age and sex based groups and classes, saved by works after all you can do philosophy, some sort of leadership hierarchy, Possibly some sort of tithe, and a Drug Free philosophy.

With a list like that, seems they are already right with God. You're welcome to stay away if it makes you uncomfortable.

Re: Church Court Experience
LOL. You sound like quite the character. In reality though, I always wonder why people actually participate in a church court. Church officials don't really "drag" people into court. You go voluntarily, and it surprises me that people actually do it.

Oh my god, haters... are you... are you Jesus Christ? Reincarnated? And nobody can see it except for the little children?

Yep, at a stake conference where Packer was speaking the man sitting behind me placed a clear plastic knife under my chair... I did not see the knife until after the meeting but when I spotted the knife a member of the bishop rick said "I'm glad you saw that."
Then after the meeting while I was walking back to my vehicle some snobby guy in his 30's said to his wife "there's the guy who thinks he's Jesus."
Although I'm not Jesus, I've never claimed to be Jesus... I've heard it said that I look like Jesus.

Clear plastic knife? I'm satisfied. Not only does that have the ring of truth but it explains everything. One of the charges at the church court must have been littering.

People in their 30's can be so snobby.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

Re: Church Court Experience
Clear plastic knives placed under pews have been known to cut many a throat, my friend.
I'm glad you saw it, too.

Re: Church Court Experience
I'm just glad it was an issue at the church court.
Just kind of sad the LDS used their money to keep me off of national television.
ALSO kind of sad that a KABC anchorman in L.A. approached me and said "Hi (my name here), What is the best way to get into the building?
