Unless you’re planning a public meltdown on TikTok where you denounce the prophet while setting fire to a Book of Mormon, you’re probably fine. Most Mormons, even the messy ones, never get excommunicated. The process is designed for extreme cases, not for people who just struggle with faith or life.
So relax. Forget about the chicken baptism, the missed meetings, and the occasional swear word. The church is a group of humans trying to figure things out, and they’d rather have you inside the tent, even if you’re a little messy. Excommunication? That’s for the Fraudsters and the Ex-Prophets—the people who make the news. For the rest of us, it’s just a Tuesday.
And if you’re still worried, just don’t baptize a chicken. That’s my advice.
