Sharing the gospel on the internet

Post by _malkie »

When Elder Ballard talks about Sharing the Gospel Using the Internet, do you think that this is what he had in mind? - complete with the (in)famous SWK quotes on rape from The Miracle of Forgiveness.

Anyone think this is for real?

Hmm. Apparently Mr. Crook also believes that Elizabeth Smart wasn't a victim of anything:

Perhaps, but he's also a Mormon! At least, according to his profile at Mormon.org:

Does this guy participate on MDD, and/or does he do volunteer work for FAIR?

Any chance this is a Poe?

He can't be for real, can he?

What the Hell is a "Poe" in this context?

When the Church encouraged members to share the Gospel on the internet, they had no idea there were bloggers like Mr. Crook or SeattleGhostWriter out there. Don't be suprised at the next General Conference if Pres. Monson gets up and pleads with the members to stop blogging.

When it comes to Mormons blogging, never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

Perhaps I'm misusing the expression - one who exemplifies Poe's Law.
