Loran:

OK, now I understand why GIMR's posts are as they are and she takes the surly, mean spirited, sanctimonious, and anti-intellectual attitude she takes in them.

GIMR is LSD in blackface.


I think he just called you a racist....well maybe not

And no people don't bother to read when they can react

Your comment is anti-intellectual, irrelevant and racist.

I agree. The remark was extraordinarily insensitive and racist. No doubt Loran is still smarting over the fact that SWK lifted the priesthood ban.

Put a sock in it Marg. Seriously. Either listen to the stories here and try to learn from them in order to make your church a better place for those who just cannot toe the line or fall in line, or go back to where it's always rosy and faith promoting.

Did you even bother to read my other posts on this thread? Of course not.

Why is it that TBMs can say whatever the hell they want to about those who aren't LDS for whatever reason and get away with it, but me simply making an observation about the various ways a TBM can defecate on another person's character is "nasty".

I'm so glad I got out when I did...




GIMR, just because you may find in your dealings with some Mormons, or perhaps in some readings on the Net an argument used or retort that "exmormons are stupid" does not mean ALL Mormons think that or would use that in discussion.

I do find it interesting that the very thing you are complaining about in others, you are guilty of in your line "Don't you people see the asses that you're making of yourselves?" Aren't you calling all Mormons stupid here?

In addition GIMR you should find out a little more about an individual before jumping to conclusions about them. Just so you know, I'm about as non religious as anyone can get and I have never been the least bit religious.

Edit: You asked "have I read your other posts in this thread?" No, I haven't. I began my reply to your opening post, then went to answer a phone call and finished when I got back. I'll look at the entire thread later.

Marg,

TBMs who insist in an online environment to use the tactics that people like Wade, Juliann, Coggins etc use are the topic of my post. If the shoe don't fit you, move on.

Also, in my dealings with many Mormons, online and not, when you don't toe the line, there is always something wrong with YOU, not the system. I hate that. I've dealt with that enough in life, I will not deal with that in religion.

Misery, Coggins will continue to call me racist because I touched on a subject that apparently still stings for him. I won't take the dixie cup he keeps handing me to piss in.

I feel that internet TBMs who insist on telling nonmos that they are at fault for whatever happened to them in the church are indeed making asses of themselves. And you can cry all you want at that Marg. The typical TBM response to the ex/anti/nevermo is one of negativity. I've experienced that for four years now.

Theres just something blocking the spirit from testifying to them. Different for each I'm sure.


Um, there you go with the platitudes again.

The spirit testified to me that I was a beautiful individual deserving of both friendship and love. The spirit testified to me that my skin color is not a curse, and that my people are just as good as anyone else. The spirit told me to leave two years into it, but I listened to man, and extended my pain for another three.

Sorry Gaz, doesn't fly.

Oh, I get it.

Coggins thinks I'm Lady Sundancer! Oh, this is about as good as when Juliann told me that I was a white exmormon with an agenday

Sorry, no go.

Oh, and for the slow ones, I'm the light-skinned one with the dark curly hair and glasses in the "Friends" section. The others should be self-explanatory.

Not an excuse. Just like you read the directions on the box, you read the whole thread before you start whining.
