Blaine, in your usual style, you have not answered my questions, yet expect
me to answer yours. Let me list them out for you...after you answer them,
then list yours out and I will take a stab at answering them:
1. Is your "witness of the spirit" that subjective heartburn feelings
mormons say they get? AKA, the burning in the bazoom?
2. Do you have any biblical references that this burning feeling is a valid
witness?
3. Could it instead possibly be the fires of hell being stoked by your
resident demon?
4. Have you ever seen the Sheikinah yourself?

Perry, how can you speak with any authority about what I feel or what other
LDS feel, subjectivity being what it is? You take a heavy position,
presuming to speak for others. All else aside, however, how do you account
for JS's
fire of the first vision that did not consume being so similar to the
burning
bush of Moses that burned yet was not consumed? And how do you account
for
that same fire being present at the Kirtland Temple's dedication?
Hundreds
witnessed it. BTW, you asked once, "How do you know I have never been in
a
Mormon temple?" Would you please explain that question? Are you a former
Mormon?

Have you ever seen the Sheikinah yourself? According to E B Stennhouse,
the editor of the Deseret news for some 25 years, in his 1875 book
entitled
"The Rocky Mountain Saints", he comments regarding the purported Shekinah
in
the Kirtland temple, paraphrasing, that the appearance of the spirit was
more due to the imbibing of the spirit than the presence of the spirit.
