:'''Larry King''': Are people ever thrown out of your church?
:'''Gordon B. Hinckley''': Yes.
:'''Larry King''': For?
:'''Gordon B. Hinckley''': Doing what they shouldn't do, preaching false doctrine, speaking out publicly. They can carry all the opinion they wish within their heads, so to speak, but if they begin to try to persuade others, then they may be called in to a disciplinary council. We don't excommunicate many, but we do some.
