I agree about standing in the Church as it relates to personal, political, or social viewpoints. I see your point.

To clarify, I am not offended by the posts of others. There really is no need for slack to be cut (although I understand the sentiment you are trying to convey). I was simply making an observation about my thoughts here in my first month on the board. I think some read it more as an accusation. To be fair, it can read as an accusation....sort of my calling heathens to repentance. This is something I do not do. I have never called for anyone to change their posting style, much less their personal methods of practicing their faith. On the other side of the coin, I dont spend a lot of time bashing "mullahs" for their approach, either. A disposition to do such was never in my nature....

Get a room. You can take BYURuss with you. And Lingo, too - tie him up and leave him under the bed.

Any LDS religionist who is surprised to find out that our beliefs change over dispensations, over years, from prophet to prophet....is fooling themselves. I certainly do not think that. The Gospel is continually changing and evolving. And has been since the beginning.....not every aspect of it, but some aspects, to be sure. Religion is a process....conversion is a process....continued revelation is a process.

Anyway, he had a battered copy of Mormon Doctrine he dragged around and would periodically whip out during Gospel Principles, using quotations completely out of context and going on and on about how Catholics are the anti-Christ church of the devil.

The bishopric couldn't do much about it, but I don't know that McConkie was doing this guy any favors...
