DAVEH: Here I thought we might get to be friends, and then you
suggest the LDS Church may have some obnoxious people in it. Shucks,
Pastor.....you're the first guy to say something that might make me
want to leave Mormonism! :-D
BTW....Thanx for using DM / DH in your posts today. Makes my life
easier!

People are people, DH. Your church has just as many Deegan's in
it as any. Maybe Dean or Deegan use such circustances to "prove" a
point -- but not me.

DAVEH: Thanx for your consideration, Bishop.
Do your in-laws really speak of Protestants in a condescending
way? If so, that surprises me and I would like to apologize for them
doing so, as an LDS person myself. I think it reflects poorly on my
religion of choice when I hear such. I just hope you realize that not
all LDS folks act/think that way.

a Mormon slang word used by them to describe all who are not
of "the [Mormon] truth?" "protestant" is another way of saying
"unbeleiver" or "pagan."
DAVEH: At first, I was not going to respond to this, John....since it
was a discussion that you are having with DavidM. However, I cannot in
good conscience let you make such an accusation without explaining that
you are mischaracterizing the way I (and most LDS folks, as I know
them) think. FTR......While I may view you to be a Protestant, I
certainly do not consider you a "unbeleiver" or "pagan."
The Mormons insist on using this word because that is
what their buds do, in private.
DAVEH: &n bsp; LOL.....I think you are making this up,
John.<

David, do you understand how the Mormons use this word
"protestant?" Do you understand that I do not like that
characterization? Do you understand that it is gross sectarianism
that insists on the separation between RCC and those who reject papel
authority? Do you know that there are millions of Catholics who do not
accept Papel authority? Do you understand that I have a right to
expect not to be branded with a Mormon slang word used by them to
describe all who are not of "the [Mormon] truth?" "protestant" is
another way of saying "unbeleiver" or "pagan." We are not fooling
anyone, here. I have seen their chat rooms !! Do you
understand that when DH uses this word, he necessarily attaches to it
ideas that are definitely not of my approveal?
This should be an easily resolved issue. But it is
not. The Mormons insist on using this word because that is what
their buds do, in private. All Mormons I know use this word and
in the same manner as Blaine and DH. Get off the pot and smell the
roses. You are not scoring any points with the Mormons in this.
