I’m assuming this is addressed to me. That’s too funny.
You really don’t know me.
Pigeon holing.
To bad we can’t just talk face to face over lunch.

I do have hope you'll turn to the dark side again some day and realize all this Mormon stuff was just Joseph Smith's nonsense. It's never hard to believe in the truth, which is why it's so hard for you to believe in Mormonism. All the excuses and yes
mental gymnastics will continue to wear you down over time. If you want to be a follower of Jesus Christ you don't need The Corporation.
This is where you and I differ. I think that the gospel requires water baptism by one holding proper authority. I would think that you can come up with a myriad of examples where you would not place your trust in someone or some organization that was either not qualified or lacked legal authority to administer their wares/product/services.
I know this might now sound somewhat foreign to you and that you are now more eclectic in your views, but I think it can be shown…and it just makes sense…that God would require His authority to perform saving ordinances rather than letting things run amok.
If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ or you don’t see the logic in a God who’s house is a house of order then I suppose I’m simply blowing hot air.
And the truth is, since my faith deconstruction period and the road back to faith through asking MORE questions and looking for more answers I’ve found my life path easier to travel. I find I’m not tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine that you might find on a board such as this and elsewhere.
Another poster has again done the pseudo psychology thing again and stated why, according to them, I spend time here now and then. At other times when this person has made false accusations I’ve explained my REAL reasons for being here, but to no avail.
It is what it is.
I hope others can see through the false innuendo and twisted logic of some of these players.
You tend towards being somewhat more civil even though we are pointed different directions. That’s as it should be. All the donkey stuff and MG has issues stuff is a sideshow.
I like discussion although at times I don’t have answers that folks demand. They then see that as a ‘win’. I see it as an impasse with hopes of learning more, even if it is at a later date.
In the meantime, I feel very comfortable and at ease staying on the covenant path.
