Firstly, I stand by the word deconstruct. B&L's sole aim is not to "chat", it is to hurt.
The church's aim is to put forth their religious beliefs as they see it. They may be ignorant (some of them, most of them) of the true history behind what they are putting forth. B&L knows that what he is doing could cause someone emotional distress.
That it could cause someone emotional distress is no reason to hide the truth. If you had cancer would you want your doctor to tell you or hide the truth from you?
Sorry, but it's inane. Move on. When I realized on two occasions that I alone could not make the changes that I wished to be made within a faith community, I moved away from that into individual peace.
See the "move on" statements above? Those are the beginnings of your contradictions. There's more to come.
Priate, more than one person on here has said that I have no honesty and integrity. And most of them were atheists. To me, integrity is giving others the same respect for their space and beliefs as you want for yourself.
Why do you continue to make these sorts of ambiguous statements regarding this board? Instead of making allusions, you should give details. Unless of course, you don't want to resolve anything or move on.
Cheer on, guys. I can't wait for the next article to laugh about where someone got beat up just because they were LDS! Joy joy!
Digusting.
No comment.
I really wish some exmos on here would really get over what the church did to them and move on. B&L is no benignly going about this, but I realize it tittlates. I understand. Way to get back at the establishment!
So your advice is to get over it and move on. Gotcha.
Every Mormon you come across is deceptive, right? They know that they're living a lie, or they're insane, so why not target them?
Your thinking is really backwards on this. It's not so much as Mormons are deceptive. It is more to the point that many Mormons are being deceived. But I'm not surprised that you don't see the other side of it.
I will say this: I think KA's method of "spreading the truth" was far more effective and tactful than B&L. He goes online, pretends to be someone he's not, puts forth contrary information for the sake of doing so, then laughs when someone gives their "testiphony". That word right there should tell you what his intent is.
I can see how effective and tactful would be something you'd appreciate. This from the author of "snarky bitch".
I'm so sorry for all the immense pain the LDS church has caused folks posting here. I was in that place, the disgusting black whore. But I moved on, and I will NOT abuse my friends, random LDS, or anyone from that church I meet because of my pain. Those people have the right to live their lives out as they see fit, and I am in no place to try to affect that.
Another "move on" statement.
But I lack integrity, so forget all I said.
You lack consistency of thought and the ability to simply say "shoot, I screwed up guys".
Guy, I've learned that on this board, wisdom is the thought du jour, you are not wise unless you are with the crowd. It's ok to post pictures of garments, call people mentally challenged, and much more, but you cannot point out when someone who is popular that week acts in a hypocticial manner. THAT is a sin.
Only God knows where the above comes from. You make it appear as though you're on topic however, you keep returning to your participation on this board. Remember those "move on" statements? More comments to follow regarding that.
I just don't understand why people here defend certain actions, simply because it's being done to Mormons, when they know, if it were any other demographic, they'd be all in their sense of social justice. It seems that their individual experiences with PEOPLE in a church, flawed, scared, ignorant people justifies them taking people who they do not know and harassing them.
This board is largely about Mormons. That's why you see it here. Porter harrassed no one.
It was PEOPLE who made me feel the way I did as a Mormon. The culture. I have some problems with LDS inc, but I will not take a whole people and demean them because of what I felt. That is so base.
I just can't see the justification for what B&L is doing. I think he needs to move on with his life now.
Another "move on" statement. I've lost count of how many I bolded in just the few posts I cherry picked for this post. Now here they come to bite you in the behind:
And also, as far as my integrity, until the statement by those who made it is recanted, I'll always be outraged.
So what you're saying here is that if Porter is outraged due to his experiences with Mormonism, he should move on, but when it comes to you, and stuff on a message board, you yourself can't move on. Got it.
When I leave here there will be people to say that I was good to them and helped them. I make a point of doing so, even to those who may have hurt me. It's who I am. I don't appreciate anyone messing with that based on an internet exchange. They will get all my fury over such a thing.
Okay, got it. Here is a brief summary of what you've presented.
If Porter (or anyone else) is outraged by their experiences with Mormonism, they should get over it and move on. They shouldn't bother anyone else with it and maybe find some individual peace.
If you are outraged by your experiences on a message board, you will always be outraged and people will get all your "fury" about it, and you're fully justified about harping on it here and another board.
You do see the irony in that, don't you?
