Gracious - so you mean that you used to do that once? Long before my time, I suppose. Pity I missed it.
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Well, it must have happned well before my 2,000 posts of inane banter because I have YET to see anything posted by Droopy that isn't reminiscent of Rush Limbaugh having downed a potent cocktail of pain killers and 5-hour energies: Slobbering, feverish, incoherency at best.
I've known you ever since you first appeared in this forum, and have based my judgments upon what your have written here, and your general demeanor expressed in your writings.
Your above comments are, at best, disingenuous, uninformed posturing. The ability to reasonably judge my morals or my ability to maintain standards and disciplines is most certainly outside of your capacity.
That may be as may be, but your disparate grasping at phantoms and shadows in search of something upon which to hang your hatred of the Church tells enough of the story.
Licked cupcakes and endless preoccupation with plural marriage (as if you really had any substantive idea what this really entailed in the early Church or had ever done any serious study of the subject) tells much of the story as well.

Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

Well, it's good to know that I've been taking you about as seriously as you apparently take yourself (read: not seriously at all). But what are we to make of your ostensibly serious posts over on MADB? I defy anyone to differentiate between your "intellectually substantive" posts on MADB and the ludicrous gasbaggery you use over here.
Never - not in three years now - have I ever seen a single post from you, or a single example of serious, sustained intellectual engagement in an extended debate or discussion, that would lead me to believe you really understand what the above bolded terms actually mean.
This is why you fit in so well here Runtu, and why you find this forum attractive.
As long as you tow the party line and make no waves, the great and spacious building will always leave a light on for you.
