Our newest member, Wayneman: Shades' missionary companion??

[_marg]

Wrong again Harmony, actually I've probably been involved with Shade's board longer than you. Although I joined this board about a week or so after you, I was posting on Shades initial board and I don't remember you there.

And because you don't remember, it just wasn't so? Right, marg. You really need to work on those delusions of grandeur. The rest of us will like you (or not) even if you aren't queen of the world.

Boy you've managed to shift discussion.

Let's see you accuse me of putting in my 2 cents in too often. I point out how much more you post than me and even though I mention rate per day you respond that the only reason your posts are more is because you started before me.

I then point out that as far as those mathematical figures go how long on here is irrelevant as I started vitually the same day. I add just as an interest because it has nothing to do with the figures that I probably started before you. Then you come back with me having "delusions of grandeur". Wow, you think how long someone has been posting on a message board is something to brag about? Believe me I don't look upon it as an accomplishment. Notice however I said probably I've posted longer. Yes, by the way, Shades emailed me about his board when he first started it up, so I very well may have been posting longer than you. If you posted it was not very memorable.

So let's see you were wrong about interpreting the phrase "kicking at the pricks".

You are wrong about me started much differently on here and therefore that being a reason you have over 3 times per day the number of posts than I.

So you are mathematically inept and don't understand scripture.

It seems like I was the 3rd person on Shades' original board. I was late, because I didn't get his email until I'd finished work for the day. Shades created the board for people like me... I'd just gotten banned from FAIR/MAD, after royally pissing Juliann off. And since he and I have been friends for a long long time, he emailed me as soon as it was up.

Wow, talk about "delusions of grandeur". He set it up for you did he? So this board is really essentially for you? So let's see, are you counting now seconds, hours, days before I started.

Obviously I have more to talk about than you, since I'm a member of the LDS church and you don't even have a basic understanding of what that means, let alone any nuances of the gospel or the Book of Mormon.

Well Harmony, I'm a heck of a lot more rational. You come up with the most ridiculous and irrational stuff, it's really quite unbelievable. You actually think hashing out "nuances of the gospel" or the Book of Mormon is important in the scheme of things of life.

The rest of your post is just rehashing that which has already been discussed ad nauseum, so I'll pass.

I don't think you know how to pass, remember you are up to over 8 posts per day.

I'm not sure you have that basic understanding either.

I know I'm on the right track, if you're siding against me, Nehor. Thanks for the confirmation!

Well, since no one has ever accused me of being overly rational, I'll leave that to you, marg. Not my style, not my bag, certainly not the way I'd ever want to live. I have to believe in something; it's just the way I am.

And uh... in case you haven't noticed, and obviously you haven't noticed... many many people on this board and hundreds of others like it think the gospel, the Book of Mormon, religion in general, Christianity in general, and all sorts of related stuff is vitally important in the scheme of things of life. We're just funny that way. You, of course, don't fit that pattern... which is why it was so funny to see you quoting scripture.

Carry on, marg. Do it again! I need more amusement in my days.

If the Brethren were trustworthy in the sense you're suggesting, then DCP and Bill Hamblin would not have been able to strong-arm them into accepting the Two Cumorahs theory.

We're two extraordinarily powerful guys, it seems.

Of course, nothing even remotely like this has ever happened.

But then, it's Scratch. You maybe expected factual truth or something?

DCP suggested once on the MADboard that Heavenly Father's chief consideration in picking his servants is whether or not they will make good corporate officers.)

It scarcely needs saying that I never said this, and that I don't believe it.

Scratch is no ordinary fantasist. He's quite creative, really, in his malevolent and obsessive way.

The question is, Does he himself really believe the nonsense he peddles?

now the Chairmen of the Board actively request that the Church's well-compensated apologists formulate silly theories and revenge strategies in order to bolster the Church's increasingly shaky spiritual foundations.

What a surprise. More Scratchite fiction.

I have to believe in something; it's just the way I am.

And it's quite pathetic actually. You are "kicking against the pricks", but it's by your choice. You don't have to subject yourself or have your family be subjected to rules and judgement you don't appreciate. And this is because you have to believe in something. Good for you.

I'm quite comfortable with you saying I'm pathetic. Coming from you, that's a compliment. I'm far more comfortable with God than without him. I'd find your way to be pitiful, shallow, sad, and depressing. Just my opinion, though.

[_antishock8]

What is it with Mormonism? It produces FAT, MISERABLE, assholes... And we're supposed to think it's great?

“F” that.

Seriously.

“F” that.

You are comfortable in a belief in a God which endorses, works with, communes with the LDS Church. So you wear garments which are ugly and uncomfortable, you bring up your children in it only to have them critically judged in ways you don't agree with by some men given the title of Bishops. And by the way, if Ray can be a Bishop, Ray who admits to using prostitutes, who admits to drinking beer while he posts on the Net for his main entertainment in life, the same Ray who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed then it is apparent that anyone , strike that, any man with questionable morals and mental reasoning ability can be a Bishop. And women in the church look up to these guys? Your boys now go to other wards than the one they live within. You know the church was started by a con artist, you know the sort of person J. Smith was, you know the church is run by men who think of women as second class citizens. But although you complain you still buy into it and accept the rules and culture you complain about.

So this doesn't boil down to having a belief in a wonderful supreme entity, if one should exist. Heck I've got nothing against that. It boils down to you being stuck in a culture you don't like, complaining ..yet all the while no one is forcing you to stay or accept any of it. in my opinion anyone with high integrity once they know the history of the church, once they appreciate it was man created and fraudulent with tales of angels no one has observed except by con artists, golden plates no one observed except by con artists, reformed egyptian which never existed, history which is a complete lie, a strong liklihood that a dead man's manuscript was the key catalyst to the man written Book of Mormon pawned off as scripture... should do something about it by not subjecting themselves to or being supportive. But then again you may not be able to see your way out, or you may not have the high personal integrity it would take to walk away.

[_Droopy]

So, that about sums it up. by the way, do I HAVE to call you Dr. Shades? Because I only know you by your real name.

He's also known as "Slim Shady" around these parts.

It works for me.
