Have you read https://runtu.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/why-i-dont-move-on/? I have. I have no doubt that the LDS church emotionally abuses its members. Runtu isn't the only person I've seen say it. The dozens of ex-Mormon members of this board aren't the only people I've seen say it. It happens. I could never stomach being part of an organization that does that to people. And for that reason I am apparently evil.

Your church isn't going to convert the world that way.

There is nothing apparent about it. You ARE evil and pathetic.

So here is your big clue to life. The LDS Church is a man-made institution. It is none of the things it claims to be. So GO GET ANOTHER HOBBY and stop being so broken in the head.

Agree.

I have other hobbies, ones more productive and labor-intensive than hanging around here, that I spend far more time on. I don't need to be told that the church is a man-made institution, because I never doubted it, so your advice is pointless.

You know why I'm here? Because for whatever reason, I enjoy studying weird religions. Preferably from a safe distance.

The question is, why are you here? You believe the church is man-made (and therefore you don't need to defend God's true church from critics the way ldsfaqs does) and yet you think it's pathetic and evil to criticize it. What's left for you to do?

He's here to criticize anyone who posts on this board. we're all wasting our time on here (but he's not). It's hilarious.

Well, good for you. You should go do that!!!

Mormons rarely come here. If that is your objective, you are in the wrong place.

No, I said you are evil and pathetic. Most people are. They just are in denial about it.

Welcome to the board Manetho, sorry you got introduced to Tobin so soon.

I think Tobin just wants someone to talk to. Probably a lonely type guy.

No problem. I've seen plenty of his comments before. I was just lucky to write ten whole comments before I attracted his attention.

Tobin averages almost 6 posts a day, I assume he doesn't have much else to do. Maybe he's the one who needs a new hobby.

You people are so mean. He just wants a friend.

Come on, Tobin, let's go get ice cream.

(Watch, he'll go)
