Janice Allred was given the most severe probation from Church leaders one can get. It soon led to her excommunication. Janice discusses her writings, speeches, and events that led to her excommunication from the LDS Church. She also shares whether she has discusses her experiences with others who have been excommunicated like John Dehlin, Kate Kelly, & Denver Snuffer.
It appears that the LDS Church brands the scarlet letter A for apostasy on the chest of those guilty of apostasy in order to make their teachings appear dangerous to orthodox members of the Church. Despite all that, Janice continues to attend church in Provo, Utah. But this scarlet letter has affected her children, and not in a good way. Check out our conversation….
I asked Janice Allred how she views the LDS Church today, and if she had advice for LDS Church Leaders. How should ward members treat the excommunicated? We share a mini-episode of Kurt Francom's "Leading Saints" podcast on how members should reach out to excommunicated members.

I also asked Janice if she would ever get re-baptized. I was surprised to hear she "won't", despite going to church every Sunday for 30 years after her excommunication. What do you think of her story? Would you continue to attend after your excommunication?
