Right susu's hubby...or susu, I dunno :) Okay, guess ya want to keep the thread up. I'm game.

Okay...BUT before I go any further with the new stuff...I would like to ask you what your honest intent is in continuing to ask questions. Are you trying to understand the LDS faith better? Are you the kind that just enjoys debate for debate's sake? Are you trying to find things about the LDS faith to prove incorrect and thereby justify why your particular view on things is the correct one? Are you desiring to convert me? Once I know your intent I will perhaps have a clearer understanding of how I need to approach things. Not getting defensive or testy, mind. But I do feel a bit weary from all this work :)

And again I stress. I don't have a degree in theology. I'm about average intelligence. I have not served a mission for the LDS faith and am not preparing to. I am still increasing my knowledge. And all the things I am discussing are not immediately stamped " church doctrine " simply because I am Mormon. And I'm in the process of reading through the Bible cover to cover which is one of my new goals.

They are opinions, ponderings and thoughts directly related to my personal experience as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am trying to answer all of your questions to the best of my ability and praying very hard for inspiration and a spirit of charity and mutual understanding as I do so. I'm not trying to convert you or argue with you or force you to accept my point of view. I am just discussing matters pertaining to the faith I belong to and I'm quite willing to continue the discussion but not ad nasueam. Which it may be already ;o) Hence the offer to continue through PMs.

Ball's in your court now.

MG...Yup. Mormons all have big teeth. And horns. We gore the hell out of Gentiles (non-members) whenever we get the chance. It's great fun...our lizard overlords who live in the vault beneath the temple encourage it.

...I'm being flippant ;O) I needed a mental break...
