Nope.  I am not open minded about extra-biblical information.  You are.  That makes you odd in my book.  J  IMO you are not open to Truth because you have swallowed LDS lies.      I am also amazed (amused) that you perceive me as being You are civil and pleasant to talk to except.......Hmmmm.......I must be much trickier than I am aware, as I did not realize that my character changes from being civil and pleasant to something less savory at those times when I am stirring up TTers to anger.  Right off hand, I can't think of any time I've done that, but perhaps I can't see my own faults.  I don't stir folks to anger at the Church I attend.  Do you suppose that IF I were to leave TT, the animosity sometimes expressed here would disappear?   Or Izzy....are you just giving me undue credit for something with which I have little control? I’m not saying you are intentionally aware of your craftiness, but you mormon guys are good at playing poor me for anyone who will sympathize with you.     BTW Izzy.........Do you think I am really worried about the Poor nice little mormon boys being picked on by the meanies and am trying to get TTers to feel sorry for me???  Or are you just imagining monsters where there are none? I was speaking not just of you in particular, but of mormon tactics in general.  ShieldsFamily wrote: DaveH, I can only speak for myself here in response to your query.  For me, having LDS folk on TT is not threatening at all.  I’d say if I could choose to have you guys here or not, I’d have you here. You and Blaine would be missed, I’m sure, if you left.  You are civil and pleasant to talk to except for when I perceive your manipulativeness in pitting others against each other by taking sides for or against you, or feeling sorry for you.  (Poor nice little mormon boys being picked on by the meanies. J  ) But you are pleasant for the most part, and add a certain humor to TT.   It seems that whenever a new Believer joins TT they learn you guys are here, and they explore the possibility of reasoning with you, and pretty much the same discussion ensues until they, at last, realize that comparing the truths of the Bible against the obvious fallacies written by JSmith does not persuade you to abandon your bizarre mormon ideas. Although I don’t bother to read your posts if they are defending mormon ideology (because I find it to be so pointless and obviously baseless) I like it that you engage with some who have hope of reaching you with truth.  I think if that is ever to happen, it will be a work of the Holy Spirit via the Word of God, and not through the arguments of anyone on TT.  And even that would require some openness on your part, which I have never perceived.  But only God knows for certain, and one must leave room for the unexpected. I am quite frank here, knowing that you can deal with it.  izzy   -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
