Elder Cook wants members (including MG) to reveal their true identity online

[I Have Questions]

It’s too bad Peter Pan (Mike Parker) was already exposed, we deprived him of the spiritual benefits of following this prophetic call.

I can’t help but think that Elder Cook had had in mind that whole sorry period of apologists behaving really badly online behind pseudonyms such as Peter Pan and Richard Nygren. And I doubt Elder Cook would approve of MG’s tone and style on this board. It is clear this is another Prophetic call to action that MG is going to conveniently ignore.

MG is going to love having another thread all by himself!

Checking in. Not much to see except backbiting. Kind of frustrating after time spent a few days ago suggesting that we might turn things around.

Such is life.

My wife and I attended the adult session for Stake Conference tonight. Definitely a different vibe there than here.

It must have been great, because you’ve jumped straight back onto this board as soon as you got home from it. Are you board addicted?

You've been doing that kind of crap for too long. Give it up and go to something entirely different with your wife and forget the church stuff. Try it and see if you like that better. Perhaps you've already done that before?

Be adventurous, daring, and willing to pack the church away in a box and venture out on your own terms. That would be sneaky and exciting, wouldn't you say?

A viral meme has been created. I understand why you must do that.

Otherwise, my bet is you're a pretty nice guy in real life.

I gave it a shot. Time to take another break for now. Too much backbiting. Waste of time.

Best wishes.

It’s not a meme. It’s an observation of a pattern. Elder Cook has been inspired to counsel members to shun interacting online anonymously. You’re going to ignore his counsel. Elder Rasband (and others) have been inspired to plead with senior members to serve senior missions. You’re going to ignore their pleadings.

The bottom line is that you please yourself. You live within the boundaries of your own convenience. No actual leaps of faith. You do not practice what you preach. You don’t have the courage of the conviction you claim to have. You’re an empty suit.

I applaud Elder Cook's criticism of ICE agents wearing masks as they terrorize our communities.

Not true. You know your attempts at "getting along" were further trolling and finding a round-about way to win. Not the first time. And right according to script, instead of being able to control your impulses like a good Mormon should, you go off the edge of the cliff posting your two cents and sometimes walls of thread on every thread. Because you can't stop yourself, you have to find an external reasons to do it. It has to build up to the point that you provoke unspeakable offenses from other members of the forum and this becomes your justification to stop posting.

The atonement will cover this and any injustices will be eventually righted. No reason to get so alarmed. My life seems to be going okay so Creator God seems on track.

Why are you here?

I note that the believing Mormons over on the MD&D board are almost universally against Elder Cook’s inspired counsel. Many think Cook is being naïve, that his counsel is “foolish”, that he is clueless as to the risks (especially to women) of removing their anonymity. Some have even suggested that they don’t trust the Church to not pursue them for their online activity were they to reveal themselves.
