I'm saying, if you are looking for good PR, it is good PR to excommunicate someone for an affair?

I think it probably has more to do with sending a signal to the other members about what it takes to remain a member.
When it comes to these things, PR I am talking about is the PR within the membership of the church.

Back to BYU, do you really think anyone cares or or thinks positively when BYU announces they have kicked a kid out because he had sex, consentual sex. Maybe some Islamic mullah somewhere applauds, but other than that the PR is for membership consumption.
