So far John hasn't done anything wrong. He even asked everyone to respect the church and its property. He told to take down signs that dis-respected the Stake President. Everything they're accusing him of involves his use of free speech to express his religious views, nothing more. So watch them excommunicate a guy who has done nothing wrong. They're about to make him a martyr.

I agree wholeheartedly - the members who have payed and payed some more, plus even built the chapels from the ground up with their sweat and time, ALL are owners of the Morg. Inc.
Smiles for John's blue shirt and no tie and Margi's lovely dress ending ABOVE the knees and stylish boots!
There stance in regards to gay marriage is now: You can believe what ever you want. However, if you disagree with the TSCH's view, shut up about it and pay your tithing.
You know, truth be told, it IS "their church, their gospel" (copyright Intellectual Reserve, Inc.), and they can define their own membership requirements. So, if John D., gets ex'd, the Morg is acting within its rights. That said, I believe (and very much hope) it blows up in their faces, because they look very petty and controlling (which they are).
That would require the assumption that your hoping it blows up in their faces is "right". I, like many people want things that are wrong from time to time. I can also want what is right for the wrong reason.
So, no it did not appear as if it was implied to me at all. What I saw is your opinion, not an implication of wrong.
I wish him and his wife well as they stand before their accusers. I would hope he has his own legal representation or witness present to properly record this ludicrous charade.
"His wife looks like she's ready to kick some ass."
Yeah, she does. That mini dress is a giant F-you to the brethren - obviously can't squeeze any G's under there!! (Is it really that warm in Utah? I wouldn't even wear that outfit here in Florida right now.)
;o)
