LDS Bishop Put on Trial for Calling Out Mormon Church Lies | Bill Reel Excommunication Fallout
In this video, we break down the excommunication of Bill Reel, a former LDS bishop who was put on trial by the Church for calling out documented lies, historical deception, and institutional gaslighting within Mormonism.
Captured immediately after the disciplinary council, this footage includes enhanced audio from an impromptu press conference, where Bill Reel shares his raw, unfiltered reaction to being excommunicated for speaking openly and honestly.
This is not about sin.
This is not about worthiness.
This is about truth, power, and institutional control.
We discuss:
Why Bill Reel was targeted by LDS leadership
How Mormon disciplinary councils function as ecclesiastical courts
The real reason excommunications happen
The chilling effect this has on members who ask hard questions
Ex-Mormon thoughts and reflections on what this moment reveals about the Church
Whether you’re LDS, questioning, ex-Mormon, or simply interested in religious accountability, this video offers a firsthand look at what happens when someone challenges authority with facts.
