Did you bring your leather, whip and chain? I understand S&M practitioners are great lovers.

How often does the church seek out extremely inactive members, get the scoop on what sins they're committing and then excommunicate them? In my experience, essentially never.
I see the purpose of excommunication as primarily two-fold: 1. To prevent those from participating in the church that are actively trying to participate. 2. To provide a path whereby they can return into the good graces of the church and once again participate in the church. Is that motivated by "love"? I think it often is ONE of the motivations. |

Take the honor code at BYU, I know Indy I'm obsessed, that honor code is there and it's enforcement is to control the community (students). No other reason. |
