You did, sorry I didn't see it.

Tex, how would the question you are asking bare on the statement he made? I would say the inability to find a non-mainstream statement from you would tend to confirm what he said.

I think most Mormons would find this forum extreme.

You expressed it as an opinion. I think most Mormons would allow you your opinion as long as you didn't think most Mormons needed to agree with it.

Since you don't equate them to commandments, you don't think mormons should have to follow them if they choose not to.

Tex: Do you believe that those members who follow all of the church leaders' counsel are more righteous than those who do not?

Depending on how you define Mormon, I think most mormons would tend to disagree with you and Tex on most issues we discuss here.

Are you saying most Mormons are mullahs?

Maybe I misunderstood. Was he not accusing me, Rocky-Balboa-like, of harboring views extreme to the Mormon mainstream?

If no such statements actually exist, would that not suggest the opposite?

The point is, it's an opinion shared by the majority of Mormons. In my opinion.
