...not counting the flamers the moon brought out. Or maybe we should be more accepting of them too? Anyway, thanks for being honest about coming from the LDS church. Sounds like you have a real and honest faith in Jesus. I've got a number of objections to LDS teachings, maybe some less well-informed than others, but it would be incredibly pathetic of me to start harrassing you because of that. Maybe with time we could talk about where the differences are, and you could help us overcome any misunderstandings we have about what LDS believers believe. I'm interested to know one thing you could tell me. We tend to call LDS believers "mormons", and refer to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as the "Mormon church". Yet I notice that the LDS believers themselves never call themselves that. What does "mormon" mean to you, then? When we call you a "mormon", is it offensive in any way? Be welcome, then, and...be "relieved" :) Fod |
