Who do you think is convinced of the error of their ways when they read the kind of “witness” they see here?

Care to “chime in” on this comment, SZ? I know you have a very definite opinion about the “anti’s” on these threads.
I was.
The fact of the matter is that LDS inc. does a really good job of hiding the fallacies and inconsistencies in their doctrine. A key thing to remember about the LDS general authorities is that they are on record stating that they are not to be questioned. Once they speak on a subject or topic, the thinking has been done. The sheeple are to do nothing but obey. Questioning them is grounds for excommunication. I am an apostate in their eyes. Which is fine by me.
Like you, I was questioning the intent, and rationale behind the postings. Once I started really reading to comprehend what was being posted by the "anti's", I got it. I had been mislead and my wife and son are currently being misled. The trick now is how to figure out a way to get my wife to see the truth. But I believe that after 30+ years for her, it will be nigh on impossible to achieve that.
Do the posts come across a bit harsh? Maybe, but you have to remember, the internet is tone deaf. Once you start reading the posts in a different mindset, wanting to learn and understand, the meaning and tone become clear.
