If this assumption is in error, would you mind sharing just one heterodox religious perspective.

I think my actual orthodoxy is a very relative status. Relative to the church as a whole, I'm pretty much down the middle. Relative to CG, I'm right-center at the bare minimum.

... defined as, something I disagree with church leadership on?

There are orthodox takes on many matters, not just leadership decisions. I suspect you'll go along with anything the leadership decides, believing it to be the Lord's will.
However there are matters not requiring a leadership view, such as whether JS really was commanded to marry young girls and married women. It might be orthodox to believe there really was an angel and heterodox to believe otherwise.

Lame. Why have any discussion on anything? Of course you can point to revelation on any practice in the church. Did you think all this time I wasn't aware that the church's court process came from inspired leaders, and you just now thought you would enlighten me? Twenty years ago when church was excommunicating for first time adulterers, you would have fought tooth and nail that this was an inspired, revealed-by-God process with no error. Yet twenty years later, first time adulterers are very rarely excommunicated. So if it was wrong 20 years ago and you were wrong 20 years ago to fight to the death over its correctness, why are you so sure it's correct now? |

You see Arch, for you this wouldn't be sarcasm, but for Jay it clearly is.

My point: church discipline is an integral and divinely instituted part of the repentance process. That you take its adaptation to meet the needs of a different church today than "x" years ago as admission that what was done previously was "wrong" is amusing. Again and again in these conversations I seem to encounter this peristent view: faithful members who believe in a church founded on modern-day, perpetual revelation lead by a mouthpiece of God, who constantly try and divest said church from said perpetual revelation.
