No, I was not claiming they are taught to lie, I was claiming that they are taught to deceive, byt avoiding directquestions they have trouble with and answering instead the question ‘they ought to have been asked.’ But you tried again to mischaracterize what I wrote in response to sandude above. This is becoming a very obvious statement of the spirit you have within you, mischaracterizing repeatedly!

I never avoid direct questions of beliefs! Never! If I don’t know then I don’t know. If the accusser is off base then I tell them!

Well, here is my dilemma. You said: “It is a tactic taught to them in their mission training ... some would call it lying for the Lord, but it’s just run of the mill deceit.”

So, I guess I don’t understand what you mean by the difference in lying and deceiving. You say some call it lying, but then you also say it’s just deceit.

Please help me understand the difference? But at the very least, you call it mischaracterizing repeatedly your words. How did I mischaracterize and show the "real spirit" in me by taking you at your word. If I'm way off, help me see the error of reading your post, and I will grovel at your feet in apologetic tones. After all, I am an apologetic. ;-)
