LOL....
You think you are believable. You, who dosen’t want what you do in secret exposed, but any who dare expose it are “unreliable,” “not to be recommended,” against the “odds of being well adjusted.”
And these charges just because someone leaves a minor cult of orthodox Christianity and dares post about their experiences on the internet?
I think anyone should examine any claims of anyone, inlcuding you and your Church. And when they do....when they examine your claims in the light of day, against Biblical truths, an honest and intelligent person would run far, far, away before they become ensnared in the brainwashing. Only those who are indoctrinated would believe that everyone (but those who adhere to their “religion”) are liars, or not mentally well adjusted. It is you who must paint your detractors in bad light, because the truth will expose your secret ceremonies and ordinances for what they are....and we mustn’t let THAT happen. Right?
You think you are believable.
I speak what I believe as you do, however, I think I sound more reasonable (most of the time) YMMV.

Doing some thing in secret implies that you don't want it exposed, sky is blue alert!
Sacred, do you understand the word? Our temple ceremonies are sacred to us.
I said leaving the church did not show dishonesty, nor does it recommend them, it is neutral to this point, yet to you saying something does not matter is an insult? Get the chip off your shoulder you's walk easier.
I DID say that going to boards and posting about a religion you no longer believe means they are not well adjusted, and I stand by that assessment, so flame away all you mal-adjusted anti's (LOL)
And these charges just because someone leaves a minor cult of orthodox Christianity and dares post about their experiences on the internet?
If you post for one to six months, that's understandable, but to keep posting month after month, year after year without having Life fill the time? You either have and addiction, or an obsession, neither are considered "well adjusted behavior". (Before anyone asks, i am DU and I am a FR addict and so by definition I am mal-adjusted too).
I also said recently divorced talking about their Ex spouse was not a recommendation, as well as the "The Divorce was not my fault" line is classic denial stuff.
I think anyone should examine any claims of anyone, including you and your Church. And when they do....
They will find that we are telling the truth and the spirit will testify to them of that.
when they examine your claims in the light of day, against Biblical truths, an honest and intelligent person would run far, far, away before they become ensnared in the brainwashing.
Light I welcome, Biblical comparisons I welcome, Prayer I welcome, what i do not welcome is people who misquote, break oaths, and mislead. Anyone who does any of those things I am "anti" to, whether it be about my church or another Church.
Brainwashing? Any form of education can be called "Brainwashing" by someone.
Only those who are indoctrinated would believe that everyone (but those who adhere to their “religion”) are liars, or not mentally well adjusted.
Grin, Pot, meet kettle...
It is you who must paint your detractors in bad light,
Actually, I prefer to let them do that.
because the truth will expose your secret ceremonies and ordinances for what they are....and we mustn’t let THAT happen. Right?
Sacred? They are. I am perfectly willing to discuss what they are about, why they are performed in the temple and why they are sacred. none of that is a problem, but posting pictures of temple garments and the actual (or imagined) text of the ceremony is disrespectful to another person's religion, and will not reflect well whether I be showing video of a Mass against the wishes of the Chhurch, or photos of a buddhist temple, or Mormon temple cerimonies, I would look bad by so doing for the fact that I would do that says far more about me than about the cerimony I am trying to "Expose". Now before people ask...
- Baptisems for the dead (allowing those with no opportunity in life to be saved in death)
- Endowment (basically an opportunity to recieve the belssings promised to abraham)
- Sealings (joining families together for eternity)
That's it. Why because we have been commanded to and by helping others, we come closer to Jesus, our lord and savior.
