If they admit it, they have to resign from the church or be excommunicated. It does happen to Mormon apologists from time to time (what a GRIM job that is!!).
As for the pew warmers, Mormon doctrine provides them with cover for any particle of official church error. As long as they are sincere, God won't hold them responsible for that particle of error.
So, the ones lying, just add one more lie to the pile, and then you have a viable religion, regardless of there being absolutely no foundation to it at all. And LDS has no foundation as the church poobahs from day one with Joe Smith have documented, everything they have is not only subject to change, it HAS been changed, and they will never admit it because they don't have to.
Multiply by 78,000 and there in a nutshell is how the whole dog and pony show of Christendom works.
Wow! It's even built into it and they've covered everything haven't they... it's fucking scary, it really is. It sounds much more like a cult than a religion (though personally I see all religion as like a cult but you know what I mean)... do you see it as a cult?
