It certainly is getting old for me.

Discuss the issues ..... do NOT make it personal.

Dear RM:

So far, I seem to be on the consistent receiving end. I only copied you in self-defense!

[Religion Moderator]

This exchange - which has become increasingly personal - began with your post 42 which used pronouns and was therefore, taken personally though you denied that was your intent at 45.

Once anyone goes down that road of "making it personal" - or "taking it personally" - the potential for a flamewar exists.

HELL is ok if describing religious terms; just not like I did.

Ok.

(I do have HECK in my tagline... ;^)

[Elsie]

Don’t get all excited because I gave you a fancy one instead of a generic one.

When you play with the variables - THEN perhaps you get a gold star or a smiley face sticker.

[Elsie]

Now, what are you accusing me of?

Nothing.

I even used ME as an example.

[Elsie]

I am just so thankful I found “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!”

Most folks would say...

I am just so thankful I found Jesus!

We have been being better in our responses to each other.

Let's choose to continue.

I have just read through this thread, and like most threads about the LDS Church, there are a lot of posts that just degrade our religion.

And this on a thread that one would think posters would have a reason to help the sick and afflicted.

True character stands out well.

[Old Mountain man]

Many of the posts are not aimed at helping, but seem to be aimed at either personal harm or harm toward our Church members in general, all in the name of “salvation”.

So true; but the OTHER 97.3% are helpful in all kinds of ways!
