After that it's probably a vacuum that will be filled by some of these young whipper snappers on the prepped sites. Like that lady, what was her name?

I guess I thought Consiglieri was anonymous?

I'd rather get ex'ed than resign - that's for sure.

The Vocal Podcasters - the Q15 already cleaned out the loudest and most listened to barring Consig. He's next. They know who he is.

The Let's Try To Make Mormonism Work semi believing - This niche group led by Bill Reel, seems to have pushed Bill into the Vocal Podcasters niche which fueled by his desire to follow in the exact footsteps of John Dehlin, led to his excommunication. Seeing Bill get exed, moved these niche members out of the semi believing crowd and into the "see ya, we be leaving" crowd. This group makes up the daily new user registrations over at reddit exmo.

The Morality Police and Sexual Abuse Crusaders - Led by Sam Young, this important faction of Mormonism Up-risers has been squashed and reduced to a self starving street preacher. Nothing to see here, we've changed the masturbation interview process and parents are allowed to attend.

The Feminist - cleared out the Ordain Women folks. The Feminist Mormon Housewives have had their balls removed through natural attrition and lack of interest. It seems the Feminists have taken a break to make cookies while they implement their sleeper cell agenda led by a woman named Wendy. Rumor suggests she has the Prophet's ear and perhaps even his Melchizedek.

The SunStoners - They seem harmless and are already intermingled with apostates, fundamentalists, and dirty intellectuals. They've been around for decades under the cover of modestly accepted liberalism. Don't confuse this group with the Medical Marijuana Prop 2 fighters.

The Preppers - the Mormons in this heavily prepared and heavily armed camp, are a necessary annoyance to the Church leadership. They are some of the best believers in the church so excommunication is merely a threat to squash the crazy lady visionaries writing books about the second coming and harming Deseret Book sales.

The Homosexual Believers - this niche, led by Tom Christofferson and Richard Ostler, threatens to normalize same sex relationships and soften the long hard stand against homosexuality. While intolerable to the old Packer and Oaks guard, this group is considered relevant to today's slight undercurrent of change that will later become the backdoor basis and support for the 2078 revelation announcing that all gay members and their children may fully participate in all church activity including temple marriage.

What other groups did I miss?

wtfluff wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 10:57 am Another likely reason? Gina is a woman. She's not as "important" as a "priesthood holder" like Dehlin or Reel, so no-one will listen to her anyway. In a sexist, patriarchal, misogynist corporation masquerading as a church, maybe it's OK for a woman to speak up, because, bless their heart, no-one cares.

A poster elsewhere has suggested that sparing Gina was more a function of New Zealand sensibilities than what one would find closer to Provo, Utah. The content of her message may have carried more weight than a willingness to comply with an excommunication order from HQ. If so, that would mean Zealander Mormons possess the capacity to think for themselves.
