Ohh - LOP is an insider !!

I would add I am not saying Meldrum is purposefully lying, or that he is a bad person. He's probably telling it just like he sees it.

I don't take his every word as truth, actually. He's making it up as he goes along just like the rest of you. The thing is, he doesn't realize that's what he's doing. He thinks some cosmic Sky Daddy is up in the universe (or out of the universe) somewhere feeding him little tidbits of truth. You think that too, only the problem is that the little bits of "truth" you perceive yourself to be getting from this imaginary deity don't happen to match up with the bits Meldrum thinks he's getting, so that sets up a conflict.

You exhibit what I talked about in my other thread, by the way. You believe in "revelation", as long as it's just your own revelation, or it comes from a Prophet or past Prophet and it's something that hasn't been discredited yet. Also, you don't seem too demanding, and don't seem to have very high hopes that a lot of your questions will ever be answered by God during this lifetime. And if it comes from someone else, or disagrees with what you believe to be true, then no, you really don't believe that person got that revelation.

Following the Prophets, indeed.

I know that probably sounded better and made more sense before you typed it out and clicked "submit." ;)

I just read all of the angry posts at MAD over Meldrum. LOL! There was a lot of suggesting that Rod "couldn't use church facilities" anymore but there was nothing definitive brought up about this and it was mentioned he has a fireside in a chapel in idaho coming up.

It was also mentioned that Sorenson would never use church facilities like Rod does for his purposes.

Hmm. Let's think about that for a minute. Since Meldrum is pretty much teaching church doctrine, and since Sorenson and others are teaching apostate doctrines, it would make sense that Meldrum would be the one speaking in the chapel.

I would suggest Sorenson just get online, open an

account here and on MAD and teach his Internet Mormonism over the internet.

You know what one of the funniest things is about this? It's always been the case on FAIR/MAD and Z that the apologists would get all bent out of shape and attack any person who registered and presented Chapel Mormon ideas. They immediately suspected such Chapel Mormons to be trolls, critics in disquise, trying to create the illusion that the Church really does believe things like the hill Cumorah is in NY.

And now? They are all admitting that the chapels are overflowing with people who believe these doctrines only proffered by trolls, and that Meldrum is vastly more popular than their heaviest hitters. LOL! It's got a be a lot of critics and apostates pretending to support Meldrum in his firesides!
