Yeah, Steuss, while they irk me to no end, I have never said anything in the past to anyone about it and I really don't care, though I wouldn't do it for my own sanity.

What I was upset about was someone who is in the middle area not knowing exactly where to turn and then telling Infymous to "move on." It just "stuck in my craw" at the moment that I read it and I lashed out a bit.

Jason goes after Merc, Porter, and Infymous all the time. Those are three people that I personally think are living closer to their true hearts than most on this board. I could care less how they express themselves online. I totally respect them far more than someone who can't figure it out, for whatever reason.

Those three guys figured it out. That means a lot in my book.

Sorry Jason for lashing out at you. But, really, leave off those guys. They are good people. As good or better than any of the rest of us, including you and me.
I detest my loose style and my libertine sentiments. I thank God, who has removed from my eyes the veil...

Trinity, I suppose I am a hypocrite because I myself was a fence sitter for about 4 years. Perhaps this is why it irritates me in other people. At that time I would have told you the church was true and that circumstances would eventually lead me back. It wasn't until I became a mother that I suddenly became very concerned about going back or not. I had a little one that I loved very much and wanted to do right by. After months of praying and pleading and taking the missionary discussions again I came up with this Plan B. Plan B was that the church was true so any road would lead there. Since I could not find my way emotionally I would go back logically. I then picked up my copy of Joseph Smith's biography (my mission president aunt had sent it to me that year) and this was the beginning of the end for me.

My motivation was motherhood but obviously many have had that experience and still remain on the fence. I don't know what would be the proper motivation for them.

I'm sure I irk the hell out of all of you. That's why I stay. :)
Wanna know what you will be like if you stay on Mormon discussion boards for seven more years?
