Nephi

I think Nephi's days as an active Mormon are numbered. It's inevitable, I think.

The thread on the Social Hall forum was obviously the back-story. If he feels up to it, he can share the other parts which lead him to his recent decision.

Sweet Jesus!

I'd like to dedicate the following to him:

I think the fact that nobody on MAD considered him a "real" Mormon from the get-go has helped clear his mind. I know it worked for me when I started posting on blogs and message boards while still considering myself a TBM.

What's the point of being in a fellowship that doesn't even recognize you as a part of itself if you tell them how you really feel?

Book of Mormon, you might be a bit confused about Deborah and Garden Girl. The former is a rare numbskull eager to accuse everyone of arrogance while asserting her own humility (her favorite argument is "how dare you disrespect polygamous wives/black people/LDS women by saying the Church treated/treats them like crap?"), and Garden Girl herself was fighting Nephi tooth and nail on the universalism thread arguing that universalism is a false doctrine which Nephi should abandon immediately and make sure he keeps his mouth shut about it to mishies and members. Perhaps she feels guilty now.

Maybe using ellipsis a lot really does make one seem nicer. I should try it...

You are the nicest person in the world! Love the avatar, by the way.

Who was cruel to him here?

I like Nephi.

I think there were some who disagreed with him on issues, but not in a cruel way.

Do I need to spank Beavis and Butthead again?

I think it's a given that Beavis and Butthead are in constant need of a rosy ass.

Nephi posted some nasty things about this board on the MAD board:

Quick question: who is Dartagnon, over at Mormondiscussion.com, what is up his rear end, and why all the John Gee hatred?

I hang out at mormondicussions and I have no clue who his equivalent account is here. I can say this; many of those over there will call names and strive to offend those who come over there. There is also alot of negativity there as well (which is why I do not debate over there anymore), but there are a few nice individuals there. MDB is more for ex and non members than for members.

Excuse me? Many strive to offend? Many call names? A lot of negativity? Well, I guess we should be grateful he says a few of us are nice! And MDB is for anyone who wants a level playing field, member or non-member.

Good grief.

Aw, don't be too hard on him. He's had a rough time, and besides, consider the audience he's writing to.
