[Paine in the Neck]

Those kinds of off-hand comments do not reflect my own thinking...au contraire, those kinds of off-hand comments precisely reflect, better, reveal your own thinking.

[Utah Binger]

I grew up in a small town in Utah too...Isolation does not cause stupidity. When old Gordo was on his mission to Germany,
the book “Mormon Doctrine” was read extensively as an inspired document. That “great and abominable” thing was quoted by all the missionaries. Me too as I was in Denmark.

I managed to get over it though. Amazing how certain indoctrination sticks.
