You donât like a cult that is designed to keep you a second-class cultist, maybe you should just be happy youâre no longer in the cult.
Or, if you actually believe that stack of rules telling you to STFU and do what youâre told come from âgodâ, you should STFU and do what youâre told.
If you donât believe that those words are the word of âgodâ you should admit youâre just a damned tax exempt pyramid scheme and quit with the religious bullshit.

What woman would choose to be affiliated with such a ridiculous patriarchy as religion, particularly one so peculiar?

You cannot âexcommunicateâ anyone. Did they give God a warning as wellâŚâhave no communication or belief in this womanâ?
Excommunication is a silly act of Man. God remains as He always was and will make His own decisions about this woman. .
God wants to stop people from doing things like this, maybe He can use His infinite Divine Power to make every incorrect Bible spontaneously burst into flames.
This is just a woman getting thrown out of a club.

Romneyâs an archbishop in this looney bin as I gather. If he was Pres., he could issue some pithy remark!

Well, its a bit of a game within the Mormon church. Within a week of being excommunicated, she will have them at her front door, trying to bring her back into the church. Part of that whole missionary thing they do.

Your assertion assumes that there is a god who is a part of the Mormon/LDS church. After all, itâs only Mormons who are forswearing interactions with Ms. Kelly.
In my opinion, there is no correct Bible or interpretation of it. All are created by imperfect men.
Then thereâs clearly a god on the loose who isnât all that concerned with keeping the record straight. Sloppy.
Maybe there needs to be some sort of theist Miranda warning before condemning one to eternal damnation?
The traditional response to this kind of thing is to start your own cult religion.
Fuck 'em Kelly.
You donât need to be a member of the group worshiping their own mid-1800âs version of Stone Age Sky Gods (even more of a scam than âChristianityâ. Itâs telling when other lunatics call your version of religion âcrazyâ.)
Step out of the darkness of religion and into the light of reason.
Itâs wonderful out here in the light.

File the tax exempt paperwork first, figure out the dogma after?

The historical dilemma of people of faith, regardless of whether itâs religious, political, or other forms of faith at issue is, âWhat do I do if my heart and mind tell me that others who claim to be the âtrue prophets or keepersâ of my faith are mistaken in their positions and pronouncements? Do I conform to their pronouncements, or remain true to my concepts? Do I keep my own counsel or do I profess my beliefs?â
My reading of history is that faiths of any kind which cannot entertain robust challenges to established positions are sowing the seeds of their own destruction until and unless they recognize the error of their ways, repent, reform, and become more inclusive, not less inclusive.
It is instructive to observe that apostasy is always defined, not by the dissenters, but by those within the established faith who feel threatened by what they label apostasy. If their faith is so well founded why do they feel so threatened by what they are labeling as untruth?

Well of course. Religion is, after all, all about priorities.

Donât stop here. Excommunications for everyone!
Lucky Ms. Kelly. Maybe now she will have time to implement rational thought to this whole god thing.

Mormons = Scientologists = Dum dum dum dum dum.
It remains a tapestry thread that, when pulled, leads to the unravelling of all of what humans call âreligion.â
But is quite an illustration of what Barnum had to say.
