But keep your faith as I am sure BC and ABman can use a couple of male servants in their harems.


If they're to work in the harems, they'll have to be made into eunuchs. There are some fine candidates for such work who post on this board........I'll keep you in mind.

I wonder if you could explain why you think that being patient with a still-believing spouse is intellectually dishonest.

by the way, all these exit tales have a sort of a Paul H. Dunnish quality about them.......


Are you saying that WhoKnows is lying?

I'm not referring to that. I'm referring to staying in a Church you don't believe in.

My personal experience with exit stories and similar claims tells me there is a high degree of probability.

Indeed. Such would certainly make the 1 Cor 7:14 pronouncement easier to live with.


The unbelieving spouse made righteous by the believing one? Very merciful. I was hoping you'd come back and answer this, BC.

BCSpace, like many believers, think apostates are liars.

meh, I suppose it somehow helps them make sense of their own 'testimonies'.

Oh yeah, I agree. I mean, isn't it obvious that the quest for ideological purity should always override any desire to support one's spouse? Why let her have a say in how your children are raised and actively help to implement her views when "intellectual honesty" is within one's grasp? It's so easy ... all it requires is disconnecting from her beliefs and her religious life.

I, for one, hate it when my wife tries to participate in my life. She knows that, on Facebook, my political views are set to "very liberal" and hers are only "liberal", yet she still has the audacity to come and listen to me present papers in front of my academic peers, knowing full well that she won't accept everything that I will say. Her moral inconsistency is shocking.

Hey well at least you're "intellectually honest" enough to admit that you think he's a liar based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

An LDS writes a post that uses PAUL H. DUNN as an example, and suggests that the LDS in question is good at detecting liars?

And yet ... and yet ... for years large reverent assemblies of LDS hearkened unto the faith promoting fibs of Elder Dunn. These assemblies included God's living prophet on earth. Elder Dunn lied, and lied and lied ... and they all moaned in ecstasy, shedding many a tear as they 'felt the spirit'. Finally the Arizona Republic and the Tanners bust the story of his lies ... red faces all round.

bcspace is being supremely unpersuasive when he uses Elder Dunn in a claim for his wondrous LDS lie-detecting powers.

Well, in this case, you're wrong. I've known WK for two years now. He is telling the truth.

You're an old softie. ;) It's OK. I won't tell anyone.

No. It's Democrats and other political liberals. But I'll grant you that many apostates fall into that category.... ;)

Like I said, I put my money where my mouth is. However, you'll notice that I did not call WK a liar. If Liz vouches for him, I'm more inclined to believe.
