Well, I appreciate the occasional compliments. But, as you will carefully note, I don't call people names who are real people. Its kinda like the prank calls I get at home all the time -- hang-ups; phony things said in the middle of the night with no names. I call them names. Anonymous posters who claim to be good members of the church who make drive-by attacks on the church are cowards and hypocrites.

Well, what if a person has a bishop who is extremely busy? I had a bishop who could only schedule 15 minute blocks of time (though most of his meetings ran over, which had you sitting there waiting for hours for an appointment that was scheduled). Is this normal? How do you air your concerns in 15 minutes?

What if your bishop is hostile to your questions?


I have never had that problem. But I suppose if my bishop pulled out of his drawer a 9 mm Ruger and pointed it me as I asked difficult questions, I would indeed have a problem with that.

And how do you feel that not answering questions, using that brilliant circular "legal" logic of yours, and name calling is tantamount to "adequately answering questions"?


I answered the question. I said "No," twice.

Explain to me how it is not hypocritical in gaining pleasure in what you obviously see as another LDS soul's demise?

You have claimed on other threads that you come here for entertainment. Making snide, judgemental remarks to other members who may be struggling with their faith seems to be a very sadistic way for a supposed former bishop to derive pleasure.


Being dissatisfied with my response is not the same thing as me not answering. I have answered all your questions.

In answer to your first question above, I think that gaining pleasure in "another LDS soul's demise" would be hypocritical indeed.

I am not a former bishop, but enough about me.

I think that is the only question you have asked, isn't it? But, "judgmental remarks" I guess is all that one can make who is attempting to defend the faith. I mean, all I can do is judge what you say, right? Or should I never take a position? I see that the accomplished Rollo has called at least two people on this forum a "sanctimonious windbag." It seems to me that this was his judgment and a reasonable one at that. Should he not be in the judging business?

Indeed, lets not focus on making you responsible for your behavior here, rather rationalize it away because you cannot see the face of the people you are insulting, and lets continue to focus on their shortcomings.

Very nice.
