Rosalynde Welch takes on Mormon Stories

[_Droopy]

Let's talk about your job history, Droopy--your history of paying taxes and/or your history of paying tithing.

I cooled off on this once, Scratch. If you really, really, really want me to pursue this as a matter of official legal procedure, please continue.

[_Droopy]

I've paid taxes since my first job at sixteen, and there have been a number of them since that time. My tithing is none of your business.

At some future time, Scratch, when you are exposed for who you really are (probably in a lawsuit, and perhaps sooner than you might think), there's going to be an overabundance of shadenfreud at your well deserved collapse. I realize that's not a good thing, and I'm sure most will try to suppress the natural inclinations, but it won't be an easy battle.

Remember that inheritance, Scratch? Well, there's still a bit of it left, and enough to drag you and your informant - you know, the one who knows so much about the last 40 years of my life - out into the sunlight to see what's cooking.

You're statements about my work history and life as a pampered aristocrat living off daddy's money is libel, Scratch, and its actionable. It makes clear, empirical claims that are either true or not true.

Are we clear?

And this is where any intellectual credibility you may have ever had on this issue jumps the rails.

Hardly. Maybe among your fellow moon bats and self-appointed Danites.

Neither in accusing him of anything (being essentially an apostate from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints), or criticizing his arguments and claims in support of what he's doing, or in challenging his motives and intentions, am I usurping any authority. Indeed, I don't need one speck of priesthood authority, as a Latter day Saint, to criticize his public claims in the public sphere, or to intellectually challenge him in that same public sphere to account for himself, his beliefs, and his aims and goals.

I do, through the oath and covenant of the priesthood, have a responsibility to warn, preach, teach, expound and exhort John Dehlin to cease his project of leading others out of the Church, and supporting cultural Mormonism within it, regardless of whether I'm his immediate priesthood leader or not. If he was sitting in my living room, I would do the same thing, and I wouldn't call up his Bishop or SP to ask permission to disagree with him or call him to repentance as a worthy priesthood holder. That is my right and authority "at all times and in all things, and in all places."

John Dehlin has both email and a phone. Have you contacted him to exhort, expound, and teach him? Or are you simply showboating in public to prove what a righteous tough guy you are to your fellow moon bats and self-appointed Danites? Drop the self-righteous posturing Droopy. We know that your sickly ego is the reason you are here, not the salvation of John Dehlin or anyone else. You exhibit no caring, compassion, selflessness, or Christlike love. You are helping neither yourself nor anyone else. Your pretense at defending the faith is a sham and a denial of Christ's perfect love.

You have no idea about me, what I'm like, my motives, my life, or anything else beyond what an evil little pustule like Scratch has fed you in his own mad clawing grasp at credibility.

The above paragraph is ample evidence that that paragraph's contents are nothing more than a wild, flailing exercise in projection, something that defines the exmo world of woe, as perhaps nothing else does.

Hello...I must be going.

By your works we know you. Your claims to exhort others to come unto Christ are phony. You simply come to denigrate others and puff up your own sickly ego. No one here gets any sense of your love and compassion for them. Just stop, Droopy. If anything, you drive people away from Christ. Just stop it.

[_Kishkumen]

Hello...I must be going.

Yes, you must go. Your conscience convicts you of your wrongdoing. Your pretense at ministering in Christ's name is solemn mockery before God. Repent, Droopy.

[_cwald]

Hello...I must be going.

As a new guy here...this is the bizarrous part of the entire board...of any board I've participated on. I've been laughing for two weeks since I started here.

Goodbye droopy.

Yep. Almost as funny as someone asserting that a paragraph is evidence of its own contents.
