Re: Has William Ever Addressed This Behavior?

If he does not repent, his eternal soul is in jeopardy; God will not be mocked. We hope, for his sake, that he takes this opportunity and avails himself of the forgiveness of those he has offended.

The degradation on this thread is not the fault of Will's targets, Wade. And the fruitlessness of the blame is solely the responsibility of the original author.

Don't try to deflect Will from his repentence. Those of us who understand the efficacy of the Atonement understand that only Will can right his path. God knows what Will said, so any denial is fruitless. God is Will's judge... and God knows Will's heart.


There is no one better than you to mind the busness between Will and God.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Who to believe, Will or Harmony.

She who believes virtually nothing regarding the core truth claims of the Church, and pooh poohs the authority and veracity of its leaders, but manages to receive and hold Temple recommends on a continual basis, has moral or intellectual credibility?

Methinks nay.

The target is kinda in the middle, Wade. I'm doing my best to help Will, as any Christian would.

I am sure God appreciate you making this your business and for being so even-handed in your demands for repentence around here. After all, you have set the foremost example of repentence and seeking forgiveness as well as posting in a way that doesn't engender the least offence.. So, who better?

Well, Droopy, it really doesn't matter what you think. What matters is what God knows.

Yes, Jersey.




No, however, moral or intellectual credibility. We will never know the answer to this because the evidence, such as it was, apparently does not now exist, and because the source of the claim cannot possibly be trusted as a credible source of such a claim about another individual.

Move along...

Loran, Wade and Belmont,

With regards to the OP, I have this to say to all three of you.

Stand for something... besides your "side".
