Pastor Wilson sounds like a wise man.

You know, after all this, the sad thing is a presumedly (I don’t know him so am assuming he was) good man was gunned down for no apparent reason. A widow and family are grieving, a ward is grieving, I grieve because it was a senseless and baseless act that caused great harm to a good family.

A good friend of mine, a mormon, was taken not too long ago by a motorcycle crash. He was “lucky” at first, just a broken leg. Yet, an undiscovered blood clot traveled from his leg up to his heart and killed him while he was in the hospital for observation. My point, we don’t know God’s reasons for allowing these things to happen to good people. His reasons are His own.

A real result of this thread however is that when the mormons and their “friends” took this tragedy and attempted to turn it against us they were the ones who stepped out of the shadows and put their worst on display for all to see.

Unfortunately for them, it backfired. They ended being the ones “frothing at the mouth” about us “anti’s”. If it weren’t for their “friends” and their own foot in mouth disease, I do believe many, if not all of us “anti’s” would have offered our condolences and support, yet were never really offered a real chance to do so.

I guess I was lucky and was able to. Then I came across their “friends’” posts referencing us for no reason whatsoever except to take a cheap and childish shot because none have been able to win on merit alone.

The sad thing is, judging from the comments on this and other threads, they’re beginning to believe their own rhetoric. They are actually beginning to believe (if they don’t already) that it’s about them personally, not the religion, the doctrine, an inanimate entity that has no feelings.

My condolences not only to the family of the Bishop and their friends, but to you mormons who posted your screeds here as well. I will pray for you all.
