Now, just who was it that was speaking of 'Babel'
and, interpretation? Ahhhhhh, it was I. Nooooooooo Dave, I was agreeing with you
saying that THAT WAS NOT WHY YOU WERE ON TT! That is what I meant by saying 'I
never thought otherwise'----- Original Message -----

DAVE: ??? I don't understand your answer,
Lance. Are you saying you think I am here to teach Mormon
doctrine?

Are you on TT to teach mormon doctrine?
DAVEH: No, Perry....as I've explained before, that was
not what motivated me to join TT, nor is it the reason I remain. My
main focus was and is to learn about your (Protestants in general)
beliefs........and, I must say...I've learned a lot, though not quite what
I expected.
It is obvious that despite
all your searching you were unable to find any instance of me saying I
am........
NOT TEACHING MORMON DOCTRINE on
TT.
...........as you inaccurately suggested. (Will
there be a forthcoming apology?)
What you will
find is that I have stated that in addition to satisfying my curiosity
about other TTer's beliefs, I also am willing to reciprocate by answering
questions TTers might have about my beliefs, and try to correct any
misconceptions.....or words to that effect. I don't feel that
makes me a teacher of Mormon doctrine, but rather I see it as being
courteous to those who what to know what floats a Mormon's boat. And
please do not misconstrue what I just said, Perry......that simply is not
the reason I came to TT.

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....
