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....

Fair enough. I think we're on the same page.

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

Edits-R-Uss is meeting me at Chuck E Cheese for lunch.

As for Lingo, "I take all my first dates to a Laker game..."

Religion is a process....conversion is a process....continued revelation is a process.

That God might command something different than He did before is not surprising. Is that what you thought I meant?

Speaking of Mormon Doctrine, I had a guy in my last ward who had serious mental problems and got really weird if his medications were off. 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...

Did you live in Idaho and did he look like this guy?

No, actually... it was in Oregon and he was a huge half-Samoan guy.
