Simon Belmont: This is what "quote mining" means

[_Darth J]

Dear Simon:

Having failed to demonstrate any specific knowledge about the Church you claim to defend (on the internet, I mean---it wasn't important enough for a mission or anything like that), I find it striking that you don't understand the apologist talking points that you parrot, either.

"Quote mining" in apologist parlance does not means reflexively kvetching every time your contradicting the Church is pointed out by legitimate sources of LDS doctrine. "Quote mining" means taking a quote out of context to misrepresent church teachings or policy.

Since you have now decided to cry "quote mining!" whenever I point out that your baseless assertions more often than not are diametrically opposed to what the LDS Church actually teaches, you are cordially invited to point out a single thing I have posted on this board from General Conference talks, the Ensign, the scriptures, and/or recent church curricula that is taken out of context, or that does not accurately represent the position of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on any given topic.

Ready.....go!

Has anyone else ever noticed Darth J is like the mopologists worst nightmare?

Darth J,

It's all 'quote mining' when you refer to a COJCOLDS statement outside the context of the Spirit--the Spirit of everything-COJCOLDS-is-correct.

In the context of the Spirit, the illogical makes sense and every COJCOLDS quote has its context.

With the Spirit, every COJCOLDS statement makes the bosom burn; without it, the statement is confounding.

After you slay the lamb and spill its blood on the altar, can you then make kabobs?

I've noticed.

I haven't decided if I prefer reading Darth J. destroy the convoluted non-logic of the internet Mormon mopologist with the very teachings of the church they profess to be defending, or watching primo asian porn?

They both relieve stress, so the verdict is not yet out.

Replace the words "the Spirit" with the word "Mopologetics" and I think you've nailed it.
