Are you able to go to your parents like the rest of your siblings who are OOM (assuming they are all OOM)?

I am not opposed to church discipline and closed communion.
No they don't.. at least not officially - see my post to Sherri.
Yes I am welcome to partake in family functions as the ones who have not left the OOM. About half have now left - but I was the first. In spite of my departure I have a good reputation (I think) in the community, and they know I am a conservative and conscientious Christian. In fact Just yesterday I signed a contract to reline a chimney for one of the Elders who had a flue fire last week.
