What kind of a church tells this to a member who is facing (in their minds) the potential of losing everything in the afterlife - "sorry, you can't have representation."

Definitely sounds like a church headed by Jesus Christ to me. :lol: :roll:
Here's the thing. It's not a criminal tribunal. It's not even a civil tribunal. There is no "right" to a lawyer. It's merely a squabble between members of a social club.

Beyond that, anyone at a D.T. probably doesn't really want to be a MormBot anymore anyway. So why even bother to show up to such a Kangaroo proceeding? Time to move on.
Yep. Write a nice letter respectfully declining to attend and wishing to still remain friends. As Moksha says above, the final decision has already been reached. So, no point in attending.
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

No council. There's plenty of room in there for a second council! :lol:
