You're still doing it. Bad PR means more people don't investigate, don't join, and don't do temple work. Don't be asinine.

It appears condescension transcends all stages.

When will the Book of Fowler be canonized?

The reason I was about to defend Tex is that I think it's really difficult to place others in the progression through stages (and sort of useless). IMO, the value of Fowler's book is identifying yourself and how your faith has developed through your lifetime. I imagine you and Tex view Stage IV as apostates looking down on members (Stage III) as unenlightened, and Fowler's book allows the apostates to maintain their sense of superiority. I suggest you read the book. The stages have little to do with how orthodox one's beliefs are, which is why I think it's so difficult to place others in the progression. |
