God demands repentence, moksha. Otherwise Christ's sacrifice is useless.

I hope Will doesn't need to participate in any priesthood ordinances until he gets around to repenting, since his priesthood is pretty much null and void.

beastie is "bad," i.e., a low down, dirty, maggot infested, commie-lib, good for nothing bottom feeding apostate (now, try to pull misogyny out of that. I dare you).


I wonder how that next temple recommend interview is gonna go...

ahhh common Cam, I was only having a little fun, and fulfilling expectations. Nothing personal toward beastie here at all. She's an apostate, but as far as the "low down, dirty" etc. stuff, lighten up a bit.

When I do go for my next Temple recommend interview, one thing I can be sure of is that all of my answers to the questions will be completely truthful...unlike someone else here whom I will not mention but somehow keeps a straight face when answering hers, even though she cannot possibly answer any of them truthfully and walk away with a recommend.

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

What I appreciate most about your posts is the uncommon degree of introspection manifest in each, and the inspiring way you seek to lead by example rather than engage in fruitless blame and degredation.

Me, I'd have to see William commit ritual suicide.

Sure, you could ban him from posting in the Celestial or Terrestrial, but why would you want a bottom feeder nipping at you from the telestial/od?

I understand your point, but here's my thinking on the matter: If someone comes here and insists on building a monument to his own inanity, brick-by-brick and post-by-post, then who am I to try and stop him?

I say we allow him to complete his monument for all the world to see. If we stop him too early, then partially-built monument risks going unnoticed.

Go ahead and start one.

Duh, Simon. Holding someone accountable, documenting someone's words, allowing someone the opportunity to repent... that's not mistreatment.

The degradation on this thread is not the fault of Will's targets, Wade. And the fruitlessness of the blame is solely the responsibility of the original author.

Don't try to deflect Will from his repentence. Those of us who understand the efficacy of the Atonement understand that only Will can right his path. God knows what Will said, so any denial is fruitless. God is Will's judge... and God knows Will's heart.

We're offering Will the opportunity to utilize the repentence process of the Atonement, Wade. This is his opportunity to acknowledge that he sinned, that he offended, beg forgiveness, make restitution, and promise to not do it again.

If he does not repent, his eternal soul is in jeopardy; God will not be mocked. We hope, for his sake, that he takes this opportunity and avails himself of the forgiveness of those he has offended.

This has got to be one of the fastest populating threads to have ever graced MDB. I mean, 5 pages in one day?
