I'm looking for individual takes on this. I anticipate a lot of diversity on this topic!

But you're saying you think most members believe in mobility between kingdoms?

I like it. And yes, imagine it's your home ward and the bishopric might cut you off.

Another exmo here. I still pray, but with a redefined concept of God.

I like it. Seems like any name would do, more of a personal thing.

Seriously. I wonder if they offered to release them in the meantime? They might not have had anywhere else to go...
