The thing I find astonishing is how they found people who were actually willing to carry out these ghastly executions.

Well we could burn them at the stake but there are probably some ethical and legal problems in there somewhere.

Nope.  Can't happen.  It has to be a "stake" activity.

So sorry.  Terrible pun.  Please carry on.

Flog them?

Blood atone them?

(Because of some secret organizations I belong to, I don't think I should say much more.  )

Now, where did I put my cool, handy-dandy, Flashy Memory-Eraser Thingy™ ?

Unfortunately  I'm no longer astonished. Embarrassed by; Yes. Astonished with; No.

I'm surprised no one has suggested a proper shunning.

It seems like my Mumsie knows everything and she earlier told me about this tragic incident in our Stake about 16 years ago now. I knew a bit of the story but not everything and I confirmed with someone else what she had told me. Long story short somebody was excommunicated for doing something really bad and it didn't stop there and that is where the other bad part of the story happened. I don't want to seem callous but do you think excommunication is enough for someone's behaviour? like they do something so bad but it seems like it isn't enough as a deterrent or punishment or what 

What do you suggest? I have a Beretta, AR 15, a .38 Special for defensive purposes.

Would you rather hang and draw and quarter people who do wrong?  Does the blood atonement idea fascinate?

well, to me and others too some things are horrible that it could be one and done in the church and let the atonement work it out for the next life. I've never heard of bicycles being used for defensive purposes

I think they should have to go on a long,long,long drive with people who talk too much
