The realization that Joseph Smith did not translate jack squat from the papyrus brought me to the further realization that he was a complete fraud. If he lied about translating one thing then why not every thing else that he touched?
Porter,
This isn't a "poll". It's an inquiry. I think you're referring to the Book of Abraham. Fair enough.

You can dish out the ill feelings to posters, but cannot take it?
Porter,
Eventually you're going to be able to read, think and type at the same time. No really, all things are possible. There were no "ill feelings" expressed in my post to you. I corrected your use of the word "poll". As I stated, this isn't a poll. It's an inquiry. There's a difference. If you're going to attempt to post smart ass comebacks to me, try keeping them in context so they actually make sense. Until then, they're really just half assed.

Now, Loran...this thread was directed to ex-LDS. It was a serious inquiry. And what do you do with it? You come in to disrupt the alleged and much hoped for train of thought. When you become ex-LDS please feel free to offer the issue that led to your exit. Until then, kindly get yourself the hell out of the thread if you have nothing else to contribute but derailment. Do unto others, Loran...is that how I handled your threads on homosexuality? Of course you are under no obligation whatsoever to meet any request I make to you here. I left my bullseye over on Z so I won't be letting you use me or these threads for target practice without challenging you.

No offense taken on my part sister. I not only have a thick skull but very thick skin.
I was referring to the rash that you were giving Bond about his "creepy" polls. If you notice, I did not respond to his poll because I did not want to. Just so you know, you don't have to read every post and reply to every poll, k?

Loran:
But...but...but...all I did was precisely the same kind of thing most of the exmos here do on other threads all the time, with even the most sensitive and sacred beliefs of others? My my, aren't we thin skinned when the dishing out becomes taking.

Porter,
If a post is addressed to me I will likely respond to it and you can pretty much put that in the bank. I understand that it would be far more comfortable to let your half assed jokes go without comment but that's just not the way I'm built. I know you were referring to the creepy poll remark however, your comment doesn't correspond to the nature of this thread. It's an inquiry. Am I going to keep giving you a hard time?Probably. I don't read every post nor do I reply to every poll, k?

It's your lucky day, Loran, you caught me in a Jersey state of mind. If people are destroying your threads take it up with them, not me. Here you have not dished out anything and it would be delusional of you to think that were true. You simply injected an inane off topic remark. When you start actually dishing, Loran, we'll see who can take what okay, sweetie? This thread isn't to do with your most sensitive and sacred beliefs or anyone elses. It has to do with issues that led to the exit of many from your church. Trying to disrupt threads like this makes you look juvenile and insecure. You're not either of those, are you?

Actually, for me, I never believed in the first place. I was quite literally forced into the church, and couldn't leave until my second suicide attempt caused my dad to back off.

That is not good to hear, but I understand completely....my dad..well I will watch what I say right now but..My Dad....
I am glad you are still here with us...and I understand about dads...mine has never forgiven me for not following the path...
That is okay...I have done what I know is right...and I am only concerned about one persons welfare and that is my own...
and right now Keene the only person you need to worry about is yourself....
When I wake up I will be hungry....but this feels so good right now aaahhhhhh........

We can always hope he sees the light. But perhaps his persecution here is a last ditch attempt at railing against the powers of darkness, so HF will see his dedication and restore his testimony to him.

The thing that started me down the path was finding out that if i had gone through the temple just one year earlier, I would have had to act out slitting my throat.
