Pahoran may be a rather venomous sort, but at least there's some substance.

Apparently challenging the claims of Mormonism on a board entitled "Mormon Discussions" constitutes an insult to those here, who appear to be mostly disgruntled, bitter, whining ex-Mormons.
Look, PLEASE ignore me, if you intend to just follow the pattern here with all the usual moaning and complaining that so characterizes this whole forum. For my part I intend to continue to post challenges to the claims of Mormonism in what is likely to be a futile effort to ses if anyone can manage to present a cogent argument in support of those claims, or until I just get board with all the crybabying around here.

by the way, I have yet to encounter a nde suggesting passwords and handshakes were required.

That's probably because NDEs tend to reflect the culture of the person.

It is kind of convenient that Masonic-derived signs and tokens appeared in Mormonism shortly after Joseph Smith learned them by becoming a Mason.
