Put Out Of The Synagogue

When I was in the middle part of "waking up" to the corruption of the Church (I view "corruption as any time we lie or hide or obfuscate. The definition of corruption is: "having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money OR personal gain.") I went through a lot of turmoil. What should I do? Do I keep going? Do I leave? Do I speak up? Do I stay silent? Each one had to be a revelation from the Lord.

There are many people on this path right now and I believe the Lord has told some to stay and some to leave. Some haven't received a clear answer and find scripture to help bolster their decisions. Recently I have watched someone come under the threat of excommunication to remove their content and they are complying to obey church authority. I believe they seek revelation from the Lord continually and maybe much good will come from them removing their content. I do not know the answers and I doubt they read my blog, but if they do I would refer to Jesus.

John 12:

37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him...

42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: (excommunication or having your Temple recommend taken away)

43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

This video below (I have shared before) is the best description I have of what it was like to let go of my fear of "being put out of the synagogue". When you, of your own free will and choice, turn in your recommend, it can not be taken from you (Luke 10:42). 

In the video the chair represents the Church when it teaches more or less than repentance and coming unto Jesus (D&C 10: 67-68). The necklace is Jesus. When you let go of the more and less than repentance and come unto Jesus, you will be blessed. It doesn't mean you won't suffer, but your suffering will be unto sanctification.
