Sorry to burst your bubble, dude, but nobody gets *hauled* into a church court...

But do good things tend to happen to people who decline the church court summons?
Was one of your family on trial for their membership? If not, then no, bad things don't happen.
And which 'leading church officials' were holding this 'court'?

The first court was held for just 1 priesthood holding member of my family. He was taken in by the Elders Quorum President, the ward Executive Secretary and another ward member.
Durring the second court, 3 family members(all endowed) were summoned and drove themselves. 1 of them lives in a different stake.
I don't know who the presiding authority was in either case. Probably a 70 if I had to guess.

I'm glad you saw it, too.
Throats? When I first read this I thought of cutting the cheese. Thanks for this insight. --------------------------

Shouldn't taking your family members in as usual suspects be accompanied by warrant or something?

I'm proud to say that at my church court somebody else drove me.

Yep, Parole Officers are good like that....

Hey Biggles,
