You're a funny guy. Even though I usually don't post "lol" after your witticisms, believe me, I'm lolling. :)
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

I just love how Will's defenders show up out of the blue, take a quick survey of the situation and then jump into all sorts of incoherent apologetics on his behalf.
So, in other words, the entire thing was tongue-in-cheek, while the entire response to it here was, as usual, a crock of steaming anti/exmo...
Well, I'll leave that to the imagination.
Heaven knows there's no lack of that here.
In a manner of speaking.

I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white.
To make, yet again, the critics of William look like clowns.
Mission, as the old saying goes, accomplished.
Do you condone that sacred Temple things be told to the world?
Do you condone that someone, especially a "professional defender" of the LDS use the Lords most precious gift as the butt of a joke?
When did Will use Temple covenants as fodder here? Do you approve of WS vulgarity i.e. a thousand orgasms? Do you approve of such being used in the defense of all things LDS?
Will has already admitted to "PG" rated banter here. (and the "C" word claim has now been exposed as a calculated slander). Now, we could talk about the miasma of intellectual pornography that is Mormondiscussions.com.

I have no purpose in this thread. I did not start this thread.
I presume someone -- a moderator or administrator -- has decided to spawn it from the current anti-Schryver dog-pile thread.
My purpose in making the post that suddenly and without my knowledge became the OP for a new thread, was to answer a specific question that had been raised quite early in that thread, and continued to be bandied about as if it showed some actual evidence about him.
The more I look into the carefully constructed case against Will, the more I think he's been misrepresented.
Some moderator, in an attempt to meet Jack's request to relocate what she views as off topic remarks from her WS thread, moved posts all over hell's half acre. Some are split off here in the CF and others were relocated in the Terrestrial. I can find no moderator comments as to who did the splits, but this was not the mod team's best work.
Having said (griped) that, I am moving two of my relocated posts to this thread since it seems a better fit.
The first post will present the most recent instance where WS claimed to have his "calling and election made sure" which, I believe is being misrepresented on this thread.
The second is the first instance of his using the same phrase and I will leave others to examine it.

Okay...this first quote puzzled me until I went back through the thread, yes that's right I went back through a thread to figure out something about a strange person on the Internet, but that's really not anyone's business but my own...
Statement that I found puzzling:
WS
Besides, as I've indicated previously, I have my calling and election made sure. I'd have to shed innocent blood to fall from my exaltation at this point. And we both know I ain't gonna find any of that here. . . . Edit: By the way, when do I get my certificate of Godhood, and the party that goes with it?
What, are you gonna discriminate against me just because I'm so popular here?
And here is where he "indicated previously" earlier in the thread:
William Schryver wrote:Well, despite my best intentions, it looks as though I'm not going to be able to resist making post #1000 and thereby achieving a status on this message board that gives me great cause for shame: Godhood in The Great and Spacious Trailer Park™.
But apparently I just can't help myself. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is regrettably so weak. Maybe I'll find greater strength tomorrow to overcome this peculiarly virulent sickness. As the Master well-noted:
... this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
I would beseech the good professor, the venerable Dr. Peterson, to fast and pray for me, but he also is afflicted--even worse than I.
Physician, heal thyself ...
Alas, I was provoked by gramps' indictment of the famous letter from Joseph Smith to Nancy Rigdon. gramps asks:
gramps:
Now, what about the letter? Do you follow that philosophy yourself? Do you teach it to your children?
Indeed I do! I consider that letter a veritable revelation; a marvelous window into the mind of God; one of the most notable "pearls" of great price to issue forth from the mouth of the Prophet of the restoration. I not only believe in and follow that philosophy myself, but I seek every opportunity to teach it to my children.
Of course, I am quite certain that neither gramps nor any of his buddies here in the GSTP™, have even the remotest clue about the meaning of the concepts espoused in that letter. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding the pervasive ignorance of those who condemn Joseph Smith for what he wrote in that letter, I consider it—along with the King Follett discourse—to be among the crowning jewels in the revelations that poured forth from the Prophet during his all-too-brief career.

And here is the other post that I made. This addresses the very first and only other "calling and election made sure" comment by WS. Pahoran....how do you explain this?
His phrasing is identical to the more recent post. What? Does he have these saved on the computer or something?
Going back "in"...
Here's the line addressed to the Dude:
However, I’m really sorry to disappoint you, but like I told you before, I’ve already got my calling and election made sure, so I really can’t go wrong from here on out unless I shed some innocent blood – and we both know I ain’t gonna find any of that here.
Maybe what will really happen is that I will reconvert you – or at least be the catalyst for you to rediscover your faith – somewhere a few more miles down the road.
And there, as in the most recent occurrence, he says he's already told Dude this. There are no previous posts where he mentions it, unless I am missing an obscure LDS ref that I don't understand.
Therefore, I have no clue why he stated the above.
He's only made the two ref's to "calling and election made sure" that are linked on this thread.

Okay. I asked Will about this and he has assured me that the 2009 instance was, as I surmised, a reference to his posting status. He also unequivocally stated that the earlier instance was also entirely tongue in cheek. I'd rather not say any more about that until I have his permission to do so.
Will does not claim to have his Calling and Election made sure.

Regards, Pahoran
Because, as I stated previously, some mod or mods relocated posts from the thread of origin and moved them all over hell's half acre. Some are located here in the CF and some are in the Terrestrial...and it's a mess.
Good luck.
