I Chuckle Every Time Exmormon Prophet RFM, Bill Reel and The Backyard Professor Beg For My Money!

[Dr. Shades]

Can you please explain this without a metaphor?

Nope.

Of course you believe that! You have a board that’s called discuss Mormonism and the only thing that happens on here is tearing Mormonism down. Daniel C Peterson is a bad person, Brad Wilcox is a bad person, Russell M Nelson is a bad person, and so on and so on! For xxck sake, Shades! You’ve given your board over to the progressives. The people on here hate Mormons!! Absolutely hate Mormons!

You entirely missed the point of my post: YOU'RE ALLOWED TO DISAGREE, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do everything. If you don't like the way the machine is running, then oil the machine or clean the machine, just don't throw a wrench into the machine.

If you think it's broken, then fix it, don't destroy it.

Question. Why don’t you write post anymore that are longer then a couple of sentences? Is it because you grew tired of the progressives crapping on everything you wrote?

No. The reason is because I can usually get everything out in a couple of sentences.

It’s your board, get rid of me if you want! That way you guys can start rebuilding the ECHO CHAMBER in Spirit Paradise.

Suppose that you are right that this board is an echo chamber.

Now, imagine approaching a medium-sized echo chamber housing a couple dozen people with a personal, one-man sized echo chamber, like a pup tent except it's not a tent, but a fully functioning echo chamber that fits only one. Drag that mini chamber through the door into the larger chamber, enter it, seal it shut, and start yelling. Whatever you've accomplished, it isn't making the original echo chamber any less of an echo chamber.

And so I have to point out that your request to "start rebuilding the echo chamber" is severely misinformed because yelling and screaming within your own portable echo chamber hasn't had any effect at all on the structure you've entered housing it. And so if that structure happens to be an echo chamber, it was an echo chamber before you arrived, remained an echo chamber during your stay, and will continue on as an echo chamber after you leave.

One time, I put my hand in the machine. It crushed my fingers flatter than a quarter. That hurt bad. Real bad. But, since this is a Mormon discussion board. I was still going to hand specialists and hand therapy to retrain my fingers to move again - while I was in the MTC. So, the MTC gave me a van every week to drive to SLC to see the specialists. I would take another missionary with me, and we would go to The Pie at the U, go to my house and see my family, go to lunch with my girlfriend, hang out in SLC for a while, and then go back to the MTC.

Thanks for the reminder from the OP. Just sent in some money.

Well said.

I can appreciate the idea you have, I just don't see you being able to engage much with content, or even trying to. You just leave it as a bunch of complaining and mocking as if that constitutes a point. I agree many of the complaints about DCP are over the top, annoying, childish, etc. Even plenty of complaints about the Church are problematic. But that hardly means there's not good solid efforts to address ideas. Why you think RFM is anything near someone who is not willing to be challenged or willing to discuss ideas, is beyond me. The comparison is silly. I think you know that so you prefer to try and poke from the outside with mockery. I mean, I guess that's a tactic of some sort. It's just a stupid one. Ya ain't helping your cause nor helping anyone else.

First, there’s nothing that can be said to help my cause on this board. Absolutely nothing! By posting here, I’ve accepted that I walked into a progressive chapel and I’m being stared at because I don’t repeat the narrative put forth by 99% of the members in this “church”! When you were Mormon, did the missionaries ever bring someone to sacrament meeting that they found on the street, reeked of body odor mixed with the strong smell of Marlboro Reds? Everyone in the chapel turns around and looks and even though they won’t admit it, they’re secretly hoping the missionaries don’t convince the guy to come back the next week. Well, that’s the position I’m in! And I accept it, I embrace it, I uses it to my advantage. What would you have me do? Convince everyone here their point of view is wrong? Really? If I was good enough to do that I guess I should pretend ima prophet, start a podcast and beg for money every episode

I don't know what you do, exactly. But I appreciate this last post. It feels far more real than many others I've read from you. I mean maybe try more of that?

Hey d stem, this is exactly what Atlanticmike does. He has been completely transparent about it from the get-go. Though, maybe dantana is right that Atlanticmike sucks at math. I mean, seriously, 99%? As if. I think he makes up more than 1% of the membership.

[Dr LOD]

I can always tell that you’re still jealous of an uneducated roofer that has come onto the board and dismantled your ECHO CHAMBER!

I did roofing then concrete a couple of summers. At least for me it taught me the value of quality education. Looks like that was a lesson that was lost on you. But thanks for sharing.

[Moksha]

What would you have me do?

Repent, return to the MD&D board, and sin no more. Barring that, try not to be a disrupting force in everything. One more thing, hose down that noisy sidekick.

[drumdude]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Atlantic mike put any thought into a post here. It’s not worth spending a lot of time responding to someone who can’t be bothered to engage in a serious discussion.


He’s just constantly spewing copy/pasted ideas and memes from the conservative comment section of blogs, news articles, and YouTube videos.
