Internet Mormons vs. Chapel Mormons thread on MA&D

[_harmony]

Will somebody please get her smelling salts for harmony?...*snip*...If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, I believe I disagree.

I absolutely hate it when I'm right.

Somebody please tell me where I fit in this. No big words please 'cause I think I am a simple Chapel Mormon who loves talking with others on the internet.

You are what you think you are. So if you think you're a Chapel Mormon, you're a Chapel Mormon. I'm neither; I'm a Liahona!

[_BobAliceEve]

What I think I am does not matter in this discussion because this discussion is about qualifying for one of only two titles. I wish to know which title I fall under. If no one can tell me then the either the discussion or the protagonist is invalid; and the protagonist certainly is not.

Harmony, do you say you are a Liahona because you are a ball or because you are a spindle or because you are a director or because of another reason? I am interested in how you came by that title.

Internet and Chapel Mormons are 2 ends of the same range: Conservative Mormons. Chapel on one end of the conservative range, Internet on the other. I am not a conservative Mormon, so I'm not on that range.

Gad told me.

But which end do I qualify for. I seem to be both and want to know for the sake of this discussion how I can know.

I am not a conservative Mormon, so I'm not on that range.

A new term for me, conservative Mormon is? What is it that they conserve? If Mormonism is evolving will it catch up with you or is it leaving you further behind?

Well, you'll need to ask Shades that. He's the resident Chapel/Internet guru.

Conservative Mormons stay inside the LDS culture box. Liahona Mormons not only go outside the LDS culture box, they have the audacity to think that their individual relationship with God is sufficient for their needs.

Is Mormonism evolving? Or is it stagnating?

Take the test and find out:

You are what you think you are. So if you think you're a Chapel Mormon, you're a Chapel Mormon.

No, that's not how it works.

Just because I think I'm a millionaire doesn't mean I am one.

[_The Nehor]

I'm a chapel Mormon still. HOORAY!!!!

What Harmony calls a Conservative Mormon most LDS call Believing Mormons.
