Have a sex life when your single.

You could ask your bishop, or spare yourself the trouble and read the following explanation ie, scoop as in dirty lowdown, by Apostle Ballard of the Q12. Keep in mind, despite what he claims, these are not courts of love. They are operated more like kangaroo courts and the person on trial is afforded no real due process.

If you're looking for a way to leave the church, don't wait for the shoe to drop by being called into a church court. Just resign. Save yourself the trouble. Serious crimes in the church can be as simple as being a doubting Thomas, vocal dissenter, honest intellectual, or heaven forbid become a historian. Calling the LDS bluff what it is is the road to apostasy.

If you just want to leave the church, then just send in your resignation via email. You don't even have to do that, but if you want cloture then send it away.

If you want the drama of a church court, then confess some sin to your bishop, even if you make it up. You could start a podcast like John Dehlin, but that seems like a lot of work just to get exed.

I'm not sure why you'd want to go through that, but just convince your bishop you are doing some harm to the church by remaining a member.

Post photoshopped pictures of the Bishop, Stake President and Monson in a gay threeway.

There are about three things that are grounds for automatic excommunication. Being gay-married is one of them. Apart from that, it's bishop roulette.

It's much easier to resign. You can do it by email. Complete directions for how to do so can be found here:

You will need to be 18 before you can resign. And as a practical matter, you will want to be out of the house and fully self-supporting.

Kiss the bishop on the lips and squeeze his buns!-HA!

If he kisses and squeezes them back you will likely have to try another method.

Select four or five of the most attractive members in your area. But they must be married to people with high visibility callings, or have high visibility callings themselves. Then set about convincing them that they need to be your "spiritual spouses." Bonus points if you can actually get a few to have sex with you. They'll either ex you or make you prophet.

You have too be a member first - That's the problem - then you have to believe- in truth, equality and reality... and follow that path, and be outspoken about it.

You have to do something that publicly embarrasses the church, like Kate Kelly or John Dehlin.

Cease being communicated.

Replace the Moroni statue on top of a temple with a plastic lawn gnome.

Get up in fast and testimony meeting and bear your anti-testimony. Talk trash about Joseph Smith, his rock in a hat, and his 34 wives from the pulpit. Hit on some major points from the CES letter. Support gay marriage and ordination for women from the pulpit.

They will turn of the microphone, escort you out of the chapel, and hopefully not call the police.

But it probably would be easier to just resign.

One option might be for you to go join another church. Perhaps something harmless like the Unitarian Universalists. I have heard that joining another church automatically removes you from the LDS church.

Have aan Unbaptism party at the local community pool. Send invites to everyone in the ward. Tell them to bring a dish to pass.

Send the loving gift of the CES letter to everyone on the ward list. Ought to get a court of love convened quickly.

Do they actually excommunicate people who are under the age of 18?

It varies based on who happens to be your priesthood leader. Things that would get you excommunicated in one stake might be overlooked in another. From my limited observations, it seems like the closer you live to salt lake, the easier it is to get excommunicated.

Have an affair, get caught, tell your bishop you're not sorry and would do it again.

Get up during fast and testimony meeting and say a number of different things that could include: you are gay and engage in certain gay activities, had an affair, don't believe in God, that the old geezers in SLC aren't called by a God, that alcohol and coffee are A-Okay, that you gamble on a weekly basis, pay for a lady or man of the night and don't give money to the church, and last but not least - didn't fast that day.

But don't forget to end your testimony by saying, "At least I'm honest."
