Since you didn't write it for him, and you have no obligation to him, I don't see why you should provide him with anything. Is he paying you a full tithe? Seems to me you could get him to leave you alone about full disclosure if you simply made him pay a tithe and demand his complete obedience to your authority.

I guess I am left somewhat puzzled as to what it is that KA owes the LDS Church. When the LDS Church sends its missionaries out to recruit people by giving them a fraction of the facts concerning their religion, why can't she go out and provide them some of the information the LDS Church does not offer? If the LDS Church's version is all sunshine and roses, why should she spend time giving them the same rosy picture? Something needs to balance out the filtered, unrealistically positive version the missionaries provide. It is, after all, a huge commitment to make on precious little information, such as the scraps provided in the missionary materials.

Thank you so very much, Trevor! I really appreciate the support.

And a big thanks to my buddy, Skippy, too, and Scratch and Shades as well.

I know B&L and Merc can be obnoxious, but I have soft spots for them, anyway. I swear I sometimes wonder why... But, thanks guys.

And New Order, Canucklehead, Scottie and Inconceivable popped up on this thread, too. I always enjoy their posts.

Thanks a bunch!

PS. I just re-read this and it seems like I'm campaigning or possibly giving an acceptance speech for "winning" a title no one else wants, like PTA Treasurer or something, lol! Sorry about that. I've been working outside all day and think I'm goofy from plant fertilizer fumes...

Whats going to be interesting is the look on Kims face when that "Oh crap" moment comes and she realizes the damage shes done by misrepresenting Gods church.

When will that time come Kim? When you cross over and see all the work going on, or will it take all the time up until the "this is your life" playback reel?

Is it possible to see the blood drain out of a spirits face? guess not. Can a spirit go clammy?

You stopped drinking the Koolaid and are just snorting the powder now.

Your statement read just like a cult member.

Seriously bro, you have been mentally copulated against your will and you do not even realize it.

That's just it. She's not misrepresenting God's church; she's accurately representing the Mormon church.
