Quote:Jeremy Runnells, author of the renowned Letter to a CES Director (also known as CES Letter), has been summoned to a disciplinary council by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on charges of apostasy. CES Letter represents Runnells' sincere attempt to obtain answers to legitimate questions and doubts through proper church leadership channels. The LDS Church has chosen to continue its recent trend of excommunicating members who openly question or doubt LDS foundational truth claims.
...
Runnells reports that he met twice with his LDS Stake President, Mark Ivins, in the fall of 2014. During these discussions Runnells sought answers for questions posed in CES Letter and raised concerns about the LDS Church's recent historical essays (http://lds.org/topics/essays). President Ivins assured Runnells that he wanted to help, and that he would obtain answers. Runnells did not hear back again from President Ivins until January 25, 2016 when Ivins telephoned Runnells to inform him of his intention to challenge Runnells' LDS Church membership. Runnells requested a delay until March 15th, citing a close family member in hospice care, which was originally accepted by Ivins. On February 8, 2016 Ivins reversed his decision and informed Runnells of his disciplinary council scheduled for February 14, 2016.
...
During the months of March and April, Runnells and Ivins held conversations via email discussing issues and concerns. A theme consistent in the conversations is Runnells' pleas for Ivins to answer his questions and Ivins' refusal to answer them. Among the main questions Ivins consistently and repeatedly refused to answer are:
- What errors or mistakes are there in the CES Letter and on my website that I can publicly correct?
- If there are no errors or mistakes, why am I being punished for seeking and sharing the truth?
- What questions am I being punished for asking?
Questioning Foundational Truth Claims ??
In the Mormon Church ??
OMG, he ONLY has to produce OFFICIAL CHURCH PUBLICATIONS (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to make his inquisitors heads FUCKING EXPLODE !!!
The FUCKING Mormon hierarchy, starting with old horny Joe Smith HIMSELF, documented EVERY lie, twist, lie, contortion, lie, distortion, lie, evasion, lie, rewrite, lie, revision and lie of all their FUCKING FOUNDATIONAL TRUTHS* !!!!!!!!!!!
*LIES actually.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
