Is that managing one's beliefs or is it being a hypocrite. Here is the point: all know my position within the church, especially in my ward and with my friends. I am no coward or hypocrite. And I have no fear and I have never beend disciplined or had an invite into the bishops office.


Tell us Why me, in the last five years how often have you attended the LDS Church? What callings do you have? What are you doing in your ward? Do you hold the priesthood, etc, etc.

Ouch! for why me. A direct hit under his 'light cotton'.

Well said, consiglieri. Thank you.

P.S. Even if you were active in the LDS Church and completely observant, your criticisms of others would still be poor form.

Well, Consig I will give you permission to come to my defense. For after all just above this post, there is a mention of light cotton again. You have my persmission to take this poster to task as you did to me about just me for bringing up the past and what I said. I look forward to you coming to my aid. And thank you in advance.

However, I do believe that I will need to wait a while before any aid is forthcoming. But don't worry, I can defend myself if you choose not to come to my aid. Unlike the women you come to the rescue of. No problem.

I attend meetings on sunday. For example, I attend sunday school and at times priesthood. And I always open my mouth. And if I choose to remain silent, I would not come to this forum and moan about what I heard in sunday school. What I would do is make my comments in class and share my comments here. Why moan and be silent?

Yes, I do attend meetings depending where I am at the moment. I have no callings and yes I hold the priesthood. I am an elder. But not a good one. And all know it. No problem and I do make comments in class when I feel the need. Our mouths are not just for putting food into them.

I think you may have finally solved the enigma as to your choice of board names.

So, you are not coming to my aid? I suppose we can choose who we wish to take to task and avoid taking our friends to task for commiting the same offence. No problem.

Your board name is interesting too.

P.S. By the way, thanks for the correction on "temple scroll vs. copper scroll" on another thead some time back. I never got around to mentioning it.

Merry Christmas!

And neither do you. But you can feel good in coming to the aid of just me because I said that she should speak up in class and not remain quiet. And don't worry you don't need to take your friends to task when they call me a creep, pervert, light cotton, moron etc.
