Thanks, candygal. I appreciate this. I've gained a great respect for you over the time I've seen you posting both here and there. I don't' know that the bottomwill ever be all the way bottomed out for me. I'm weird like that, i guess. I like to hang on in some way, but it's been a few years since I've felt similar to what Iv'e expressed. There's no tears to shed. I've told all I know that it is not losing anything for me. I'm just hear to build on whatever I've gained.

You guys are good people. I know I have given our friend Stem a hard time in the past, but I am glad both of your are hear and I enjoy reading your posts.

I admire you. Your conversations and input here and there speak for the general membership that often remains silent. You are a key to good changes in the church. Best to you.

So, he’s still a member and in good standing?
I do not know for certain but I have seen no mention anywhere of him being excommunicated. Given the attention the story has received in the press and elsewhere, I would expect it would have been mentioned.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
