Let me ask you again. Which of my "accusations" were "flat out lies"? Please be specific, my dear friend. I will wait patiently for you to enlighten me.


Go find someone else to bother. Your not popular here either, so don't know why you are on such a high horse.

My dear friend Josh, I was merely trying to determine why you defined some statements of mine as "flat out lies," which, in my very humble view, is a rather serious characterization. By no means do I intend to come across as being on a "high horse." I'm just trying to figure out why you feel this way. So, I'm terribly sorry to have to ask you again, but: Which of my "accusations" were "flat out lies"? I would be very grateful if you could be as specific as possible. Thanks so much.[/quote]

Sad... Truly sad.

Huh? I've asked you three times now, and you've failed to provide any evidence to substantiate your claim. Would you care to revise what you said?

Sorry, Huck

It was a great try!

Perhaps you could start a new thread, I think you have some great points to make. I plan to reread your post.

Thanx, Pokatator
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

No.. Your not worth it. You know you've lied. I shouldn't have to point it out.

No, sorry, I don't. I am unaware of anything I've said about you which could possibly be construed as a "lie." Perhaps you feel that you "shouldn't have to point it out" because you know that you can't?

Very well, then. You have no evidence. You tried to label me a "liar," but, instead, it seems the label is a more apt descriptor of yourself. Shall I notify your Stake President about this?

You know, your so screwed up in the head and strangely obsessed about me I would not doubt you'd try.

Oh, an informant has told me that you started a website called www.mypenisistoosmall.com which is now defunct, where you complained about how small your penis is and how you wish it were a lot bigger and how you needed $500,000 for the enlargment process. You apparently thought an errect 1" was too small and are trying to get an additional 5"s.

Understand that I was a computer geek, not well liked in school, labeled a "nerd". So I never asked any of these girls out, but watched from afar. WHen I turned 17, I thought a lot about Mormonism and religion, so I tried the "praying to God" thing. I prayed and prayed for a week straight. Then came the Mormon Missionaries. My crushes attached to an attracton to any idea that was "rebellious" or "out of the norm", I joined the Church in 2 weeks.


Josh, I think you're a classic example of why the church shouldn't rush people into baptisms.

If it were medicine we were talking about, that would be malpractice.


In my experience, it seems that for most of the Mormons that I talk to about how they joined the church, the defining moment was some sort of emotional crisis going on in their life.

Of course, that could be said for a lot of religions, I guess.

But, it seems that Mormonism caught that "one thing" that someone was looking for, or thinking about, and that's when they joined.

What are biggest couple of holes in traditional Christianity IYO.


Doctrinal development of creedal trinitariansim and it's lack of support in the Bible.

The Bible itself-internal inconsistencies, questionable authorship, compilation process, lack of evidence for most of the gospels outside of Bible.

Lack of evidence for miraculous events.

Lack of evidence for many Old Testament characters and scientific evidence that frankly makes much of the early Old Testament stories not probable.


Now, c'mon, Jason, you could similar things about the Book of Mormon.
