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.
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!
Thanks for the friendly advice. I think I will stick with both, thanks. But, I do appreciate your concern.
Everyone on this planet knows what it is like to be ostracized, betrayed or lied to. But, that is hardly all this boils down to. Or am I way off base here. Again, do you know, personally, what it is to have a testimony or to lose one? I'm not sure if you answered that? Then, we can talk about perspective, within the exmormon/Mormon paradigm.
By the way, I would be happy to interview you. I don't know if anyone would be interested, though. What do you think?
