I opened up my Bible randomly and it fell open to Isaiah 43, wherein I read verses 10-14.
Ah! Then it's Biblical illiteracy (on top of sin) that caused your downfall. Though known to the prophets (such as Deut 32:7-9) the Father was not really introduced to the Old Testament Israelites. Jehovah (Jesus) was their only God (the context of the Isa 40-45 set). And thus you have the name titles of Jesus, being the Father (creator and author of our salvation) and the Son.
But notice that Jesus himself has a God (John 20:17).
Your problem is not LDS, it's evangelical!
lol
And your problem is Sidney Rigdon.

There are a couple of reasons, Jersey Girl, but this is the main one: Whenever I post a personal story, I tend to get more flak from Mormons. And oddly, it's not usually Mormons who post on the board (with the exception of BCSpace and sometimes Coggs)--it's often Mormons I don't know at all who send insulting emails, like the emails I got over my "Waiting for William" post which was about a baby I was carrying who died. I don't know why that happens, but it does. It's odd.

I was trying to imagine where you thought the flack would come from and I thought something entirely different than what you've stated above.

For what it's worth, THIS Mormon thinks you did the right thing for your family, and agrees with Nehor. ;)
How so? The LoF chestnut is dead. What else you got?

Are you going to elaborate on the Isaiah issue or was that just part of the sham?
You really are an ass, BC. Even Nehor was sympathetic to KA's point of view.
How do you know what she has been through, and how dare you insinuate that she is exaggerating?
Because I've dealt with this type of sob story before. I've read her blog. It's no different than any other. The basis she gave was incorrect, just an excuse to justify her actions.

Really? And exactly how have you "dealt" with this type of "sob story" before? Have you ever been friends with anyone in this type of situation? Have you ever actually, in real life, "dealt" with anyone in this situation?
Or does this "dealing" with this type of sob story simply add up to your reading these stories, looking down on everyone and patting yourself on the back, congratulating the fact that you are so superior?
