And my hat is off to Daniel Peterson and William Hamblin. They truly have defeated the anti-Mormons. It's kind of a strange twist of fate that the way they have defeated anti-Mormonism is by making it superfluous, but still, a win is a win.

It's not quite up to the level of putting rattlesnakes in someone's mailbox, but some of us prefer a more milquetoast, passive-aggressive approach to our cultishness.


I just noticed after clicking send that you just beat me to the obvious comparison. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

I think we may as well start using "blown" to describe ex-Mormons.

And we already have our own Battlefield Earth. It's called Saturday's Warrior.

Should "Mormontologists" replace "Mopologists"? I know that's my new term of art.

Oh well, I plain disagree with all of you, everywhere, on the entire planet.

No offense but you all seem to be missing it completely, amusing! And why the grudge. Let it go.

You come off as completely angry, for what? You're simply not understanding any of this.

Please, let all the hate subside and think of a flower or something like a flower, maybe a few flowers, or perhaps the stem of any flower, or the pot that a flower goes in.....

This has to be the biggest waste of bandwidth I've read in a long time.

I agree completely. DCP's bishop friend has no place as a bishop if he abuses his position in this way.

Technically, it's a parody of a waste of bandwidth. I thought it was clever.

You're probably right. Sorry, Ceeboo -- I was too dense to get it.

Hello Rollo! :smile:

No need to be sorry.

I offer my apology for placing that post smack in the middle of a rather serious (potentially serious) discussion that has many possible layers of issues, problems, etc.

I will do my best to resist causing further distractions.

But I make no such promises! :lol:

Peace,
Ceeboo
