I believe that in the context of this story, your comment was uncalled for and way over the top.

My comment was to a reply another poster posted and not to the article posted. That's the way we do it. Someone who posts an opinion, may expect a reply to that opinion.

In proper context, it was exactly, spot on.

Several members who saw it in context have posted replies agreeing with me. You posted a negative one.........which is all a part of the discussion forum that F.R. is.

I do not believe it is either prudent or necessary to spam every thread where a Mormon is mentioned with references to your beliefs about their doctrine or, in this case, the eternal destiny of their adopted child.

God is in control of that child, not you and his temporal and eternal fate is in God’s hands and not yours. The child has been blessed by being adopted by a loving family who clearly has the means to give him a good and wholesome upbringing.

Your post was insulting and completely off topic.

Ecc 3:7 tells us that there is a time to speak and a time to keep silent. There is such a thing as prudence, and too often the Inmans in their zeal to reach lost Mormons often fail to note that they are sometimes alienating their targets and inflicting collateral damage on others.

I, for one, am pretty annoyed at some of the overzelousness of some of my fellow ex-Mormons and it seems that ever since JR stopped protecting the Mormons from attacks on their doctrines, the Inmans have pretty much had carte blanche, and IMO they often take their liberties too far.

There is a time to speak and a time to hold your tongue. It behooves those who wish to preach the Gospel of Christ to know when to keep their peace and when to speak their minds. We are all guilty of this sin to some degree. The problem is that some are not willing to admit when they have crossed the line.
