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

What Bubble?

Should they have declined the summons?

Sorry to bust your bubble.

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.

Wow, haters. How does it feel to have the top men of the LDS church after you personally? And your family too!?

You must be a really important person to be perceived as such a threat to them.

Are you sure you're not Jesus? I mean, if you look like him, is it just possible that you might be him, and not fully know it yet?

Or... are you THE ONE MIGHTY AND STRONG?

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.

Hey Biggles,

I'm 23.

What is one of the most degrading names an Israelite could have shouted at the Son of God?

It's a riddle.

But not Zodiac style.

I'm buried 2" above my head in this stuff.
