Lamanite. That was a good thread. At least one more person realized that no one else bears responsibility for his impure thoughts.
That thread frustrated me to no end. I finally had to give up on it.
Of course, I also think there's something hinky about Lamanite. I'm not sure he really is what he represents himself to be. We'll see how that plays out.

You might be right. In any case, he's not in favor of the mods there, so we might not be seeing much of him on MAD anymore.
Sure, its verifiable. Just pray with true intent in your heart and you will receive the revelation that its all true. If you don't, then you didn't pray right, and are probably hell bound.
It frustrates MADdites no end when someone like me actually spent years praying to get the "right" answer - the explanations they offered, over time, for why it didn't work for me were amusing. Charity actually told me once that I should not have kept asking God, over and over, because that is annoying. I should have just asked, sincerely, ONE TIME, and then lived the rest of my life as if I had already gotten the answer, and one day, like her, I would really get it. That answer won the door prize - the door at which you check in your brain.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

You know, I really don't miss charity and all of her 'wisdom.'

Touche, that response is so typical and trite. I've heard it dozens of times. Charity's other pat answer is to "rely on someone else's testimony until you get one of your own". Sickening, just plain sickening. I played the the faithful game for just over 35 years, I guess I am a slow learner and and a fast forgetter but maybe I am patient. But I did it by the book and Moroni's promise is a joke, it doesn't even work if you want it to work, so I don't know what goes on in the head of those who say it works.
Anyway, I'm in your column Beastie and I'm like Trevor, up to my eyebrows with Charity and her Polly Anna Mormon answers to everything. I don't miss her at all.

Aw, come on. Charity isn't all that bad. She has big heart and thinks she is doing the right thing. I've had several PM conversations with her, and she is really sweet.
Lets face it, we've all been annoying to somebody at some point. And we've all said stupid things that someone is relaying in a post about us.

She may be a nice lady, but her "wisdom" and her opinions are so cloyingly naïve, ignorant, and intellectually vacuous that it's almost painful to read nearly anything she has to say. She's an absolutely perfect example of what happens when one turns their brain over so completely to a false idea like Mormonism. She's crossed the Event Horizon, and is now totally immune to reason, logic, facts, or reality. She literally is living in her own virtual world now, a world where everything she says makes perfect sense, by definition really, because it's tailored by her own mind specifically to flesh out and complement her whole belief system.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

I like charity. I can't help it. She rarely adds much of substance, but I do think her heart is in the right place.
