“Wow. We Mormons sound like real scoundrels.”
Define scoundrel, as you are using it please.

I believe your original post fell into the category of either “avoiding the truth” or telling “half truths”. So in
answer to your question about believing “anything we say”,
I trust, but verify.
Best,

But how do you verify?
If a Mormon and a non-Mormon (or ex-Mormon) disagree about some aspect of Mormonism, how do you decide who is telling the truth and who is lying?
Do you ever consider that two people can have an honest disagreement?
