Hi David,
I am not so foolish as to think that I can dissuade
and then persuade with only a couple of short hellos; nor do I believe that the
ultimate judgment in this matter is even mine to make. I am just really, really
in love with our Lord and want to show that love to others, you included. LDS or
LSD, it makes no difference to me. I think Jesus would have
showed you his love before doing anything to take away
your dependence. I would be wrong to do anything less.

So much kindness. I agree.
I love you, my friend, and hope to show you why
in due course. DAVEH: Thanx for your reply,
Bill. I must say that I very much appreciate your kind and humble way of
expressing yourself. I wish you had been here last year to help soothe
some of the discussions, some of which tended to get out of hand. I
personally believe the gospel should be discussed in gentleness and calmness,
which seemed contrary to the way some others prefer to preach it.
Having said all that, I perceive you feel the
desire to attempt to dissuade me from my LDS beliefs. I understand your
need to do such, as many other TTers have also felt so compelled. I
think I should mention that it is not my desire to leave Mormonism. IOW,
I am not in TT looking for an excuse to give up that which I believe.
However, I appreciate your apparent love for me and your (perceived) desire to
for me to change to beliefs that may be more congruent with your own.
While your intentions may be of the utmost desire to benefit me, please do not
take offense if I do not readily adopt your beliefs as my
own.
Having said all that for the sake of other
TTers (if you had been here for a few years, you'd understand why I said
that), I am willing to listen to whatever you have to say. And.....I may
even have a few questions regarding your beliefs, and why you believe the way
you do.

Great stuff, Dave H. Sometimes we are much
closer to the truth than we are even aware. Keep it up!
DAVEH: Thanx for the words of
encouragement, Bill. However, I must warn you that saying such may
cause a wrath of unkindness to befall you here in TT.
