I rest my case.......there.
Personally I have found over the last 25 years that many long time members and bishops of the mormon church don't know "jack" as you say, either And they couldn't quote a bible verse if they had too..but only could repeat the mormon church teachings...And many were out and out racists, among other things..
One of your bishops..that I worked with called big rocks on his property "Nigger Heads"...Yet, supposedly he lead other young mormons? I wonder what he taught them...Gee, and I wonder where he learned that stuff?
Another told me once..."you don't need to bother yourself with that Jesus saves stuff...LDS is the TRUE Church!"
Where did that come from?
It came directly from your teachings...from B. Young..and J. Smith. There's no realistic denying it...and there's rational debating it.
But I know you guy's will try.......
And frankly I welcome it...because the more you do.....the worse you look in many young and unsaved others eyes. IF they have eyes to see..and ears to hear the Truth.
Your alleged experiences w/ Bishops is so far removed from the reality that I know that it's quite hard to fathom. It's not hard to believe that there may be isolated cases of a bad apple Bishop out there, but your term “many” leads me to question the authenticity of your assertion. Your posts in the past have lead me to question your understanding of the church, so this comes as no surprise.
I would think that many non LDS here who have had interactions w/ Bishops & other LDS alike would have a substantially different take than the one you portray, as has been stated just in this thread. My best wishes for peace in your life & a humble heart.
