Mormon With Outspoken Blog Posts on Church Says May Face Excommunication.

[elleng]

A Florida-based Mormon blogger has said he is facing discipline and possible excommunication by church officials over posts they perceive to be anti-Mormon.

David Twede's posts offer his account of the history of the church's political involvement, criticism of fellow Mormon and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and the author's take on Mormon beliefs about the nature of God and temple ceremonies.

Twede, a 47-year-old fifth-generation Mormon and the managing editor of MormonThink.com, told Reuters on Saturday he was confronted over his posts and advised of the possible discipline at a meeting with local church leaders this week.

1. Well good on him. There'll be 10% more cash in his pocket.

If a religious cult that objects to a member's Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of speech wishes to systematically defund itself, I say don't get in their way!

2. He should be glad the church is confronting him directly rather than cooking up some other scandal.

At least we have cards on the table.
