What if your bishop summoned you to a private conference: When you arrive a General Authority is there with the bishop; he flew all the way down to Dallas from SLC just this morning, just to see you here. They tell you they have learned that you host a web site that has been a platform not only for heresy, but also a medium for dialogue in which purported "active members" have expounded false doctrines. Then they produce a list of board names, which includes not only yours truly and a couple of other admitted apostates, but also many that you know are true believers though they think outside the LDS box. They demand that you pull the plug on the board, or else they will take appropriate action against you. They demand that you name names so that the "perpetrators of false doctrine" can be dealt with. They give you a bishop's court subpoena for all your records reagarding the site.

Would you yield to the authorities? Would you squeal?

I would probably pull a Juanita Brooks.

He doesn't have my name.

"So if I flip, no callings for five years, no talks, no home teaching assignments, and 5% tithing? And this agreement is written on that contact AND in heaven? Cause I don't want to find myself with people like SeattleUte in the telestial kingdom because you didn't get a prior auth from customer support in Kolob."

Five years of hard labor doing fast offerings. In rural backwaters with many vicious dogs.

For you or Mike, I'm not certain which level of purgatory the two of you intend to make your permanent abode.

More and more it's starting to look like the Telestial Kingdom is going to be the rad place to be. I know CB has had a hand in lowering the CK's prestige. All by himself IndyCoug has had a lot to do with this. The TelK has had its share of bad press and associated stigma but it won't be long before the real estate values there rise beyond what could fairly be called "good value" levels.
