If I am mistaken that you personally have never been a member of the church, forgive me. It could be my age. Losing memory. If it is early Alzheimer's then maybe I should follow the latest scientific research and smoke some (more) pot. Of course, it could be short-term memory loss from smoking pot. What should I do? I'm in a quandry. Help me out therapist. (It's free, I hope.) The pot already costs too much already.
Es geht mir gut, Danke. What you're suggesting is that it "takes one to know one" , gramps and I find that a somewhat indefensible position. I see that at least a few posters here resort to that position when challenged. Mercury thinks I am "uniformed" or lack experience with LDS yet he cannot demonstrate that by other means than that I've simply objected to something he's stated.
It's a matter of perspective taking. Do I know what it feels like to be ostracized, betrayed, lied to? Of course I do.
Aren't you attempting to stand in MY shoes?
Perhaps Mercury should have followed through with his invitation to interview me . Of course jumping to assumptions is far easier.

p.s. Knock off the pot and get some of that good beer!!! Prost!
