David, and Dave,
Dave states that he is "not here [on TT] to learn the truth...he is
here to learn what protestants think, and why". While not part of his
"pat" statement about why he is on TT, he also said that he is not here
tio convert anyone to mormonism or to teach mormonism.
I believe that Dave is genuine about his stated reasons for being here.
Most of the time, Dave answers questions about his faith when asked, and
that presents no problem at all.
Sometimes Dave will ask someone what "protestants" believe. They will
answer him honestly and forthrightly. Dave will then begin to DEBATE what
they believe by interject unsolicited mormon doctrine, sometimes
socratically. Again, I have no problems with his doing this.
However, when I say, "Dave, you have said that you are not here to
teach mormon doctrine", which is what he is doing when he introduces
mormon doctrine in rebuttal to a question he has asked to "learn what
protestants think", he denies it.
Now, he may "say" that he is not here to teach mormon doctrine, and
that may indeed not by "why" he is here. But, when confronted with the
fact that he said he is not here to TEACH mormon doctrine but is, in fact
TEACHING mormon doctrine, I have a problem with that. To me it is not
being genuine. All Dave has to do is admit that at times he teaches mormon
doctrine on TT. It is the fact that he sometimes teaches mormon doctrine,
but denies that he does so, that I am complaining about.
Furthermore, he has taken my comlpaint and TWISTED it to mean that I
object to his teaching mormon doctrine. That has never been my argument.
It is a lie for him to twist it that way. He can teach ALL the mormon
doctrine he wishes...I would just like for him to stop denying it and
admit that is what he is doing.
Case in point. Blaine makes no qualms about proudly presenting his
mormon beliefs, and that has NEVER bothered me...because BLAINE NEVER MADE
THE STATEMENT THAT HE IS NOT TEACHING MORMON DOCTRINE on TT.
DAVEH: Nor have I made such a statement, Perry. Now look who's twisting
the truth....
