And now Runtu doesn't care about the truth. He's free; liberated.
If only they would just listen...
To read prose accurately, you sometimes need to be aware of the significance of capitalization.
Elder Runtu no longer believes in the existence of some grand secret of the universe ("the Truth", as revealed by the Prophet of the Restoration and his successors), which it is the duty of a cadre of naïve young men, mainly drawn from a few million inhabitants of certain parts of the USA, to spend two years each diffusing to the (not very eager) rest of humanity.
So I should think that when he posts here for his amusement and diversion he is probably not very upset if some people don't take that much notice. I do think however that having been through the LDS machine and (to some extent) come out the other side, he would feel happy to think that he had sometimes slightly diminished the chances of someone else having to trudge the streets as pointlessly as he once did.
As for truth with a small 't': I think he knows the taste and feel of that rare commodity rather better than many others who are sure that they have gallons of it on tap.
