The failure of anyone to objectively define “testimony of the Holy Ghost” has frustrated any attempts to do so, much to discredit in my eyes those who refer to it.

I tried to answer dangus's question in Post #487. Apparently, dangus thought my answer sufficient (see Post #489). Did you miss my post? Or did you find it deficient in some way?
