Apostacy

Regarding the claim that LDS church discipline is mandatory for apostacy, including "or those who formally join another church", this is technically incorrect.

Merely belonging to another church/religion does NOT constitute grounds for mandatory disciplinary action. I base this upon the CHBI and my late father who was a high priest and general authority and specifically spoke about this topic.

Since the phrase is taken directly from the Church Handbook of Instructions it's difficult to argue that it is "technically incorrect". It may be more accurate to say while it is technically correct, in practice there is some wiggle room and disciplinary councils are not always held for those who formally join other churches.

Religious Sources Warning

The sources are not religious texts, but rather all from one policy publication of an organization. Just because this organization happens to be a church doesn't make them any less legitimate. These sources appropriately provide reference for material in the article. --Malecasta (talk) 11:23, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
