Re: [TruthTalk] What is a Christian?

[Dave Hansen]

DAVEH:  I generally do not discuss outside the temple, that which we do in the temple, other than to acknowledge some of the ordinances and the reasons we do them.  As you may appreciate, even when not directly discussing these matters in TT, there seems to be great enthusiasm by some to discredit LDS theology, and disparage those of us who practice it.  What would be the point of me sharing my beliefs with you or other TTers?  While it may satisfy your curiosity, more likely it would invite some to attack me for what I believe.  And...why would you think I should do that?  Would TTers treat me any kinder or respect me more, should I answer questions pertaining to that which I view as sacred?   >From my past and current experiences in TT....I sadly do not think so.....   :-( David Miller wrote: Perry wrote: ... the pagan rituals, secret handshakes, passwords, names, and penalties they are told they will suffer if they reveal the secret pagan rituals of the temple. Dave Hansen, I would like to hear your take on Perry's comment. You have been a Mormon for 50 years. Do you have a secret handshake and passwords and a secret name? Are you under threat of penalty if you were to reveal these things? Peace be with you.
