...is publicly available information about the rules.

So what's the rule on apostasy? I don't see it in that publicly available information. Could it be in the non-publicly available information?

Do you mean "What constitutes apostasy?"

I mean the rule in the chi on apostasy.

I regrettably just slogged my way through this whole thread for the same reason that I can't help but rubberneck when I drive past a car accident, and I now have a strong urge to take a shower. What a cluster . . .

I know there is probably some fatigue in regards to the debates over John Dehlin. Still I found some of the demands made by his stake president interesting.

An update on my discussion with the Stake President

For the record, our plan is to continue doing what we have been trying to do for the past nine years on Mormon Stories podcast: interview Mormons of all types (faithful/believing, struggling, disbelieving) — with as much balance and constructiveness as we are able to muster. In addition, we are working towards conducting more interviews in the coming months that deal with the practical considerations of those who want to live happy/healthy lives in either a post-Mormon or a post-orthodoxy paradigm. Some of the topics we hope to focus more deeply on include 1) navigating a mixed-faith or a post-Mormon marriage, 2) raising children in an unorthodox or a post-Mormon home, and 3) how to more effectively communicate with believing family/friends as a non-believer, or as an unorthodox members.

Also, we will unabashedly continue our public support of same-sex marriage and Ordain Women, and I continue to reserve the right to express my beliefs/doubts/concerns regarding the church, its history, and its leadership, as the need arises.

Thanks for everyone’s concerns and support during this difficult time. In summary, we will seek to be even more balanced and constructive with Mormon Stories podcast, but we do not anticipate that much will be changing on our end in terms of content. If things change with President King, we will update you as we are able.

Dehlin has been AWOL since this "business as usual" prediction.

The last mention of him on Mormon Stories appears to be:

500: To Be Released
October 21, 2014
By John Dehlin
Episode 500 is in the works, and will be released as soon as John can finish it. :)

In the meantime, we’re going to be releasing some of the other great content we’ve been working on. Enjoy!

Interesting that the post reports to have been written by John Dehlin but the posts contents show that not to be true.

Has Dehlin completely capitulated to the Stake Presidents demands by disappearing behind the scenes and letting people like Patterson appear to be the ones running the show now? Is he simply lying low whilst getting into a position where he can run a money spinning counselling service leveraging his Mormon identity? Who will surface first...Dehlin...or Bobberson?

Bobberson posted yesterday.

I never got an answer to this zook.

This is on LDS.org "Apostasy"

"When individuals or groups of people turn away from the principles of the gospel, they are in a state of apostasy."

Maybe he's been busy. That can happen to me.

That said someone posted this yesterday.

Maybe you were the fire behind it. Or maybe not.

In this very important episode of Mormon Stories, psychiatrist Daniel Parkinson M.D., who is also host of our sister podcast Gay Mormon Stories, interviews Meg, Jake and Jon Abhau.

That's the point, it's not Dehlin doing it. He is AWOL.
