I'm breaking my self-imposed exile to say this: either you're a lying sack of crap or you have the world's worst memory. I attended the temple literally hundreds of times before the "pay lay ale" (and no, that's not the spelling) was removed in April of 1990. If anyone's been caught in a flat-footed lie, it's you, Cogs, not Porter.


Hmm .... "lying sack of crap or ... the world's worst memory". Which is it to be? Runtu is ready to take your order now, sir. We await the response.

Or of course, on the principle that the thing one constantly accuses others of is likely to be one's own besetting sin - could it be that Coggins7 is NOT REALLY LDS AT ALL, but got it all from Lighthouse Ministries, and became a fervid LDS partisan out of sheer innate decency and sympathy for the underdog?

I am not LDS, by the way.

I have to admit, whenever I see a poster from either side behaving in an extraordinarily obnoxious fashion, I always consider it a possibility that it's really someone from the "other side" pretending in order to make the opponent look bad. But the hard fact of life is that some people really are just plain obnoxious.

I can just imagine coggins, if he was ever active, being one of those members people go out of their way to avoid, in order to protect themselves from being exposed to one of his rants. There's always at least one in every ward. If you ever did get caught by them, other members would give you sympathetic looks but wouldn't help out for fear of getting caught themselves.
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.

I am sorry. This system did not recognise your response. Please speak clearly, or you can use your keypad.

For "Lying sack of crap", key 1
For "The world's worst memory", key 2
For "The noise of crickets chirping" key 3

To hear these options again, (and probably again, till we get an answer), ignore this post.

It was the Bob Lonsberry program here in Salt Lake--570 AM. Hey, they have podcasts if you want to listen to him read my email in it's entirety and then chew me out! Go to KNRS.com and programming--Bob Lonsberry show--then you'll find each day's program available for listening to. It was monday's program and it was in the very last 5 minutes of the show so it's easy to skip to the end to hear it.

Mike, I'm not surprised you thought I was male--many posters think that. I may have been too touchy about his comments, but I really felt that he was making a point to his listeners of saying I was female so they would understand tacitly that as a female, I don't hold the priesthood and I had no business giving my opinion on priesthood matters like church courts.


If anyone does listen to it, let me know if I was just being overly sensitive at his comments of me as a female and if my email sounded as harsh and judgemental as he seemed to take it.



Why am I not surprised, that is was the Bob Lonsberry Program?

So, now that the missionaries could be facing felony charges, we see why LDS Inc has the parents pay for the mission, or others in the ward, and never offically paid for by LDS Inc.

Why?

To avoid being held accountable in a court of law for their actions.

The court of public opinion? Well, that is different, and thanks to Mitt stirring up interest in Mormonism, this story has gone national!

How soon before some dear old never mo elderly woman greet the missionaries at the door and just before slamming the door in their faces, asks them if they behave in the same manner!

Thanks again Mitt ol' buddy ol' pal!
