Well, at the end of the process there is a disciplinary hearing where both sides are presented, and that disciplinary hearing determines whether the member remains a member or not. A lot is involved in the decision, and it is to be made with great care, with the best interest of the member in mind. Even if the member is excommunicated, that person can eventually be re-baptized if they repent and come back. Also, a lot goes on before a disciplinary hearing, and a member can get a lot of help just by going to the Bishop with anything serious. Depending on the issue, it might not even go to a disciplianry hearing. Most issues can be resolved just between you and the bishop.

Is polygamy practiced today by Mormons banned from the Mormon Church?

Polygamy was banned from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) over 120 years ago in 1890. Those practicing polygamy today are not really Mormons, because they have been excommunicated (kicked out) of the Church. Anyone found practicing polygamy is immediately excommunicated.


Is there a Mormon mafia?

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' Church) does not have a mafia, and Mormon members are excommunicated from the Church if they are members of any mafia. The Church does have a security force at Church headquarters, which is somtimes nicknamed the "Mormon Mafia" due to their uniform, which more closely resembles a secret service member than a typical security guard.


Are all Mormons polygamists?

Actually... NO Mormons are polygamists! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) banned the practice of polygamy in 1890. Anyone found entering into a polygamous relationship for the past 120 years has been excommunicated from the Church. Those you may see in the media (such as the groups in Texas, Utah and British Columbia, or those on "Big Love") who are called "Mormon Fundamentalists" or "Mormon Polygamists" are NOT members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are those people who have been excommunicated from the Church for practicing polygamy. Often those who are excommunicated form their own religious groups. The term "Mormon Fundamentalist" and "Mormon Polygamist" are incorrect and actually against the official Associated Press newsmedia style guide, but are used either out of ignorance or because of popular public opinion.
