Episode 18 of Apostates explores Church membership councils in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, examining their stated purposes, procedures, and recent terminology changes. We discuss when councils are mandatory versus discretionary, the four possible outcomes, and the appeals process. We also address significant critiques about fairness, confidentiality, and the gap between official intentions and member experiences. The episode covers the evolution from "disciplinary councils" to "membership councils" and analyzes ongoing controversies surrounding these ecclesiastical proceedings.
