When I lived in California, all the strange things people asked me just confirmed my faith that the "Outside World" was ignorant and wrong.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179463541435458484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692345008570298281.post-45455746930187475782011-01-24T14:24:32.815-07:002011-01-24T14:24:32.815-07:00Yeah, I totally agree with all that's been sai...Yeah, I totally agree with all that's been said here. People really do take opposition as confirmation of their beliefs. I had a young men's leader who said that there were evangelical christians protesting outside of some Temple one time he was there so he walked up to them and said, "Thanks, you just strengthened my testimony", because obviously anything that is so vehemently opposed must be divinely inspired. By that logic NAMBLA must be divinely inspired because they sure face a lot of opposition.<br /><br />Oh yeah! And Irreligiosophy! I love them but I hate it when they get things wrong. I wish they had payed more attention when they were still believers.<br /><br />Lol J-Dog, "it was a really good discussion today, or at least I thought my comments were really good, lol."

If the only thing you can say is "well you're clearly stupid/evil/selfish," what have you, then the person is better off not hearing anything from you. Your insults will only insulate their faith in Mormonism.Carla Schmidt Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947846629735463824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692345008570298281.post-39587646414384231892011-01-23T20:52:03.224-07:002011-01-23T20:52:03.224-07:00Creepy picture.

I thought that when I saw it as a certain person's profile picture, but even creepier here.<br /><br />It makes me sad when I'm listening to Irreligiosophy and they say something about Mormonism that isn't quite right and that any long time member or former member would know is wrong. I always wanted to say "Wait! That's not quite right! Don't say that! You don't sound as credible when you say that!"<br /><br />Looking forward to your patriarchal blessing post. :) And your exit story.The Heretichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687007939950965234noreply@blogger.com
