DAVEH: So then why am I getting a lot of heat on this? Is it simply because I am
LDS? If there are a fair number of Christians who have discussed this amongst
themselves, why is it not acceptable (excepting yourself, of course) to discuss it
with me?

DAVEH: Thank you for the information. Is it safe for me to assume that the
mainstream (ohhhhhh....I do hesitate to use that word after the severe rebuking you
gave me about it 4 years ago....VBG) sects (Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians,
Lutherans,
Episcoples....etc) Protestants tend to proclaim the are sealed?

DAVEH: I appreciate you being open in this Forum. I do hope you don't receive grief
for publicly admitting your beliefs in this regard.
May I ask how the other street preachers (mainly those associated with TT) feel
about you claiming such? Is there any general consensus of belief amongst the SPs
about accepting post Biblical prophets.....or are you a lonesome voice on this?
