Dave, Blaine wrote, "Priestcraft is, by my definition," which admits that
he guessed at or made the definition up that suits him. Had he said
"according to Webster's", or " the definition of Priestcraft is" I could not
have made the assertion I made.

DAVEH: According to the dictionary definition, it's obvious Blaine was not
making it up as your below assertion, Perry........

I never use the term, and have no definition. But if I wanted one I would
see if there was a comon usage for the term. I wouldn't make up my own
definition to fit my own desires.
So, what is your definition of "priestcraft," Perry?

Here we go again...the mormons like to make up their own meanings for
words, to suit thier own personal perception of the world. I call this
the
"Queen of Hearts" syndrome: "Words mean exactly what I want them to
mean!"
When a person is steeped in a culture in which the cultural leaders
redefine words to have untraditional meanings, for the purpose of making
the
culture appear to be other than it really is, this begins to affect it's
adherents, as we see with Blaine above, and have recently seen with DaveH
in
his limited definition of the word "teach", which exclusdes his own
actions
on TT.
Another case in point is the Clinton case where his attempt tp liimit
the
definition of certain words and phrases to exclude his own actions has
been
passed down to our youth, who at times use these tactics to try to
exclude
thier own actions.
Another, but inverse, example is the word "homophobe". In this case the
definition of the word has been EXPANDED to include not only those who
fear
homosexuality (traditional definition), but to include those who beleive
that it is sinful behavior.
The root of this is in the "politically correct" movement, where it does
not matter what you feel or believe, but how you are perceived.
Wow. What a world!
