Whether you agree with him or not treating this as a WWF match complete with pre-fight taunting is kinda childish.


I do realize that. I also realise that he feels I am in error and that is that, the thinking has been done and there is nothing more to do than confirm.

It was an interview, plain and simple. He directed the conversation, I let him and at every turn I laid out my case. I've had 2 years to outline my answers to the temple questions, which is what he asked about. I busied myself with asking his opinion on matters and then responding with a statement of fact backed u by (gasp) other statements of fact and why this information is pertinent. I then took teh subject matter and broke it down into its respective parts. Instances of faith and testimony were relegated to the last part of our discussion. This involved a need for facts of the matters surrounding joseph smiths claims.

It ended cordially, there was no shouting and we smiled and agreed with each other on many things but for different reasons. Others we totally disagreed on such as the afterlife promised by a con man.

Uh.... no. Only if Mercury says so? Since when does a wife have to ask her husband for permission to be visited by her own clergy?


Ok, I'll retract that...but why should Merc have to be part of it?

I didn't realize you were TBM.

Oh, I'm sorry... did I break your concentration? ...Oh, you were finished. Well, allow me to retort...

If you're hot and female, you can believe the sun rises in the south and I'll still play Twister with you.

Hey, if you two guys won't play twister together, you still could play pocket pool.

I don't need anyone's help for that. I'm pretty good at playing with myself.
