Because your efforts should be in uplifiting spiritual pursuits, not denigrating others that have no power over you or your life’s path.

You don't know my "offline" activities. Therefore, you "judge" thru a single window.

Proselytize those who have not heard.

You know the apostle Paul concluded this (he didn't use the word "proselytize") in a verse toward the end of his letter to Christians at Rome. So I respect this suggestion of yours.

But imagine had you "lectured" Paul because you didn't like the fact that every time -- in his earlier years -- that he entered into a community, he entered a synagogue...and often argued, debated with the religious people there.

Just read Acts 13-19. Especially Acts, 17, 18. It's all there.

I guess you can scold the apostle when he gets to heaven about the priorities he exercised. Per your "mission CONTROL" priorities, he should have just skipped all of what he did in the "Acts" period of his life and just moved on to his goal later in life, eh?

And why not? Paul had no right to enter a synagogue uninvited. Would you “crash” a ‘Mormon” temple to argue with those there that believe they are worshipping Jesus whether you think they are wrong or not? I think you’ll find that there are probably many LDS folks that post hereabout on FR and they probably understand that for whatever reason you couldn’t cut it so you cut out. But, they don’t lambaste you or your decision to leave the LDS faith. To showcase some apostate polygamists as evidence of something or other in support of your cause is zany :=)
