Hi David,
I am not so foolish as to think that
I can dissuade and then persuade with only a couple of short hellos;
DAVEH: Ahhhhhhh.....It is nice to chat with a fellow with some common
sense! I guess the question is whether you feel compelled to try to
change me at all, as many other TTers have previously endeavored to do.
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.
DAVEH: I like your attitude, Bill. Though I'm not sure others will be
quite so appreciative of it as I am.
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.
