Then, of course, you are NOT a lifelong former Mormon.
I was a lifelong mormon until I was saved 4 years ago at the age of 36. If I said anything different I made a mistake, although I couldn't locate one. If you've found incorrect grammar that led you to believe otherwise, let me save you some time and confess. I am guilty. I'm a sinner. My righteous works are filthy rags before God. He saved me simply because he loves me. He forgives me because I forgive others. I become better because I love him.
Besides what you should be asking is not whether the SENTINEL is a man, but whether the man is a SENTINEL. ;)
