Betty, one comment in your post #512 bothered me from several angles...and not just as a stand-alone comment -- but both in conjunction with some of your other comments on this thread + a review of all of Elsie's posts on this thread. So allow me to take three posts to address each of those angles...

You said:

Why are you and seemingly many others on this thread so ABUSIVE of folks who are outside your sect? (Seemingly including myself.) It simply makes me cringe. At the very least, it's bad advertising of the Christian message.

Now why do I find this comment problematic?

#1 When it's to your advantage to be "one" with Christians of other denominations, you highlight that...like when you did with Tennessee Nana:
How can I be bigoted against Christians, since I am one? And try to live as one? [Post #308 to Tennessee Nana]

When it's to another poster's seeming disadvantage -- for example your attempt above to marginalize Elsie to some dark "corner" of Christendom -- it's almost like you're playing a game of chess where you place the piece that represents Elsie as being "anti" ALL other sects...I mean how can you possibly know which "sects" (besides Mormonism) that Elz opposes?
