It cannot possibly be true. That's the assumption that underpins her every response to any given criticism. I've met quite a few LDS like her, actually.
But remember, she's open-minded.

I love it when you talk dirty, Bond. Say "Mccue in the memberlist" again...
I'll whisper it softly in your ear.

I would welcome charity's presence on this board but seriously folks, I see no reason to believe that charity herself registered here. This board has had many registrations from folks posing as others. How well I know.

Yeah, because she's so sure that any evidence against the Book of Mormon will be overturned someday, she can afford to be, right? ;-)
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
Not to derail the thread, but why not a Daniel Craig picture for Bond? Pierce Brosnan is certainly pretty, but Craig is the man.
Unless of course you really are Pirece Brosnan.

Bond knows that Pierce is my favorite Bond. He's humoring me.

Ahh. Gotcha.
