First of all, when did I use the words "any &/or all" to describe those that state differences w/ my beliefs? Through the years I have had great discussions w/ those not of my belief. They didn't use the tactics aforementioned & we had some wonderful & reasoned discussions. I don't know that opinions were necessarily changed, but we have had a good exchange of ideas.

Perhaps I was assuming you knew who my comments were directed to as you have been on some of those threads. They commonly refer to themselves as the flying Imams or inmans (curious, but it is what it is). So, in short, I was not referring to all who do not ascribe to the teachings of the LDS church & voice their opinions as those who rip the church on a regular & routine basis. They know who they are. You don't?

Finally, I don't have an ax to grind w/ you. If you state that your comments were misinterpreted by me, I can accept that, & I apologize if they were. If you state that you've made mistakes, that's only human & I can accept that as well, in fact, I think better of you for that. I've certainly made my fair share during my lifetime.

We can get a little edgy from time to time due to the constant misrepresentations bounded about here regularly as already seen & pointed out here. Sorry if that carried over to OUR discourse. That also is a big part of why I don't post as regularly as I used to. There are things that bring far more joy into my life than dealing w/ that stuff over, & over, & over ad naseum.

As to your apostate position, to each his own. Everyone has to make their own decisions in life. I don't begrudge those choices except when they sandblast me for the choices I've made religiously speaking. It's a free agency thing. It will always be until someone PROVES definitively that they have the truth. Otherwise, it's all simply opinion & personal experience.

I've had a witness from Father. I don't force anyone to believe or accept that. Again, free agency. I also don't post threads carpet bombing folks b/c they don't believe what I do. Including you! I pray for you, as I hope you do for me. Let the Lord sort out the rest.

As stated earlier, I've got to get back at it. Best wishes to you & yours

MOrmons seem to believe that JS had the UNTRUTH of PRESBYTERIANism figgered out.

But NONE are able to articulate just what that 'untruth' is!
