Sounds Backwards
Lets break this down. Then maybe it will make sense, but I doubt it.
- You would have no problem saying yes to dinner with a young guy.
- You are concerned about dinner with an older man.
- You want to believe the older man can be mature about it and it just be dinner.
- On the other hand "a man is a man, is a man".
So, young man=mature and trusting
Older man=ulterior motive
I was right, it still doesn't make sense to me.

Ha, ha, I see I'm not the only one thinking "what the heck?" about that post.
It just makes no sense what so ever.
Well, there's an old saying:
Men are either one of two things:
Hungry or Horny.
If he ain't got a hard-on, make him a sandwich.
That's my philosophy. There, doesn't that make more sense now?

I love how she says that she knows what the right thing is. Well, if you already know, then go do it.
And I wouldn't trust a 20-something guy asking me to dinner as far as I could throw him (assuming he wasn't a tiny man).

Check out the thread on the Mormon cult. How can they call themselves Christians when they don't display a cross?
How can they call themselves Christians when they don't display a cross?
-------------
Because they're not. They read the Book of Mormon and belong to a secret society.

Further proof that mormons belong to a cult. They're stocking up for the next Waco. thread
"belong to a secret society."
that wears special clothes.
Oh good God, just because the mormons dominate Utah, they shouldn't dominate the peaboard! I'm so tired of them! Go Susie for taking them on!
I think Susie was being a bit rude. Maybe she reads the blog and knew all the bottomfeeders would hail her queen on this blog. I don't think she posted the question innocently at all, but was just trying to stir up trouble. I like the LDS ladies and think they show lots of grace and dignity when dealing with nasty and ignorant comments. And no I am not LDS.
I don't have any problems with them either. And actually from reading some of the thread, I got another point of view on the cross.
I am not a heavily religious person but do believe in God and angels and have a couple of small crosses in my house - but all in all I can honestly say that I do not follow the LDS threads at all on the boards.
They just seem like they would be very boring with the exception of the one I did happen to read partially.
Mormons are no more a cult than any of you other religious wacks.
The Branch Dividians and Jim Jones were Christian cults.
Sigh!
These mormons just don't get it. Stop telling us YOU are right and our religion is wrong. Stop preaching to us and stop saying "I'm sorry" "I am sorry" as if you feel great sympathy for us that we CANNOT see the light. Your light might I add!

I have been attacked by those lovely LDS ladies in the past.
They are not as wonderful as they try to show themselves as.
And in the same breathe, they say they cant go to the park on a Sunday.
Christians are NOT mormons. & mormons are NOT Christians. Also the whole Jim Jones & whatever was not any kind of Christian cult. Maybe they thought they were being good christians but they weren't even close to being what a true christian is.
"That's all christians in general. They want to infect us with their brain rotting disease."
Exactly how does it rot the brain?

Not familiar with pentacostals, but Baptists and Methodists are not cults. They are legitimate Christians, unlike Mormons.
Only on the blog will you go from not trusting men to LDS/Christians whatever - how the fuck did this happen???????
"The Book of Mormon is an additional testiment of Christ."
Yeah right. How can someone who never met Jesus write a testament on him? I bet you these Mormons were also posting in the DaVinci code threads saying all other scriptures not included in the bible are false. How ironic.
"We believe in the Bible. We didn't make a new bible, it's an additional scripture."
Just like the one Mary Magdaline wrote. PIMP
How can someone who never met Jesus write a testament on him?
The same way most of the Bible was written. Most of the people who wrote the Bible or whose stories are told in it did not meet Christ face to face.
The people in the Book of Mormon left Jerusalem because God commanded them to do so. They came to (depending on who you ask North or South America) to live and raise thier families. They taught them of Christ and some thier descendents chose not to follow there were wars among the people ect. Christ did visit these people after he was resurrected as was promised by thier prophets at the time.
I think what people miss about the Book of Mormon is that it's not about Joseph Smith he was just the person who found it and translated it. The Book of Mormon is about Chirst the fact he lived, he died and it wasn't just a handful of people in one corner of the world who knew that.
Church of the Monkeys is a better name for LDS!

===========================
It's amazing that you "ladies" can still be catty bitches over Jesus.
That's my Jesus
No he's mine!
How can someone who never met Jesus write a testament on him?
================================
The same way that all of the authors who wrote the new testament did. Those guys never really met Jesus, it's all handed down stories they wrote down.

This chick is totally sketchy. She found out she was pregnant, registered on 2 Peas, told her mom, got a doctor's appointment on a Sunday, and has an ultrasound photo from 10 weeks along all by Monday afternoon.
Sketchy.
And doesn't the ultrasound look more than 10 weeks along?
I'm glad Chopinplayer is sticking by her comments and not apologizing or disappearing like any other newbie would.
And doesn't the ultrasound look more than 10 weeks along?
Hard to say mine at 10wks you could see a lot of detail. I'm going to get drama within 14days though.
I'm glad Chopinplayer is sticking by her comments and not apologizing or disappearing like any other newbie would.
Me too. I like when people question things and challange the LDS gals. Time after time it ends up being more positive than negative.
I'm going to get drama within 14days though.
get= BET :p
"Hard to say mine at 10wks you could see a lot of detail. I'm going to get drama within 14days though."
Yeah, you're right. I looked up some other ultrasound photos, and the size looks about right. None were as clear, but who knows? Somebody has to get lucky at getting those good shots.
Still, I don't buy it.
The same way most of the Bible was written. Most of the people who wrote the Bible or whose stories are told in it did not meet Christ face to face.
-----------------------------------
Um, I'm pretty sure Paul wrote some of the books of the Bible, and he was a servant of Christ. John was also an apostle who lived right alongside Christ. Maybe look into that.
I'm so discouraged by the attitudes of the LDS peas... they get so defensive... when the Christian peas stand up for what they believe in, just as vehemently, the LDS peas get all offended. It does no one any good.
A fundamental difference between LDS and Christians is that Christians believe in the Trinity- that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are ONE. LDS do not believe that, and it is evident in THEIR translation of the Bible... where certain words are changed. Theirs says (conveniently) John 1:1 "The Word was A god." The NIV translation says in the same verse, "The Word WAS God." (the Word being Jesus.) I will trust you will read the context on your own.
There are other examples in the Bible of this. But, LDS tend to leave those tidbits out of their staunch flame throwing.
Is there any other sect of Christianity other than mormons who believe that God, Jesus, and holy spirit are separate?
AND! If Mormons are Christians, why do they have to start every thread with "LDS PEAS... blah blah blah."
If we all believe the same, why can't it be "Christian Peas...blah blah blah"
Sounds like a double standard to me.
Um, I'm pretty sure Paul wrote some of the books of the Bible, and he was a servant of Christ. John was also an apostle who lived right alongside Christ. Maybe look into that.
My point was that not EVERY person who wrote in the Bible or who was written about in the Bible met Jesus on earth.
There are other examples in the Bible of this. But, LDS tend to leave those tidbits out of their staunch flame throwing.
I think the LDS gals a pretty open with the fact that they interpret the Bible in a different manner than others. It's sort of the whole reason people feel the need to say we are not even Christian.
I guess I don't get it. Yes I can see how the missionaries can be annoying knocking on your door.
However the whole rest of the LDS bashing I don't get. I can see not liking particular people but to just hate an entire group based on what honestly for the most part is incorrect information? It's scares me.
I know some of these feelings are shared by my neighbors. People avoid my family, want my church to be gone, pity my kids, ect. To judge by some of the vemon spit out by some of you it seems a few would easily do much more than talk given the chance...it's scary.
why are there so many fucking mormons on 2 peas? when did they allow people in utah to access the net?
any religion that makes you wear special anti horny underwear is a cult. jim jones pass the killer kool-aid

This is an immature statment. No one ever said anything about missionaries knocking at your door, and there are just as many Christian missionaries out there as LDS.

#3.However the whole rest of the LDS bashing I don't get. I can see not liking particular people but to just hate an entire group based on what honestly for the most part is incorrect information?
This makes no sense to me either... so you ackowledge that the Bible is misinterpreted by LDS, so much that they have their own translation, you admit that the NIV bible (or other) is fundamentally different, or "incorrect information" as you put it, but then you get mad when people call you out on the untruthfullness of it?
The truth is... the Lord asks us to question what we believe. If we just believed in what we did because someone told us to, then there is no basis of faith there. If you are strong in your belief you should know WHY you are strong... I encourage you to research LDS from an UNBIASED point of view. (That means read books/ do research outside of the LDS belief). You might learn a lot. In turn you'll either be more convicted in your beliefs, or you'll learn something that will make you ask more questions about why you believe what you have as an LDS.
I see Monique is making thinly veiled digs at Catholics and Baptists. If anyone else points out churchs they would never attend, I'm sure they would be flamed for it. Let's see if Monique gets any shit for her remarks.
I don't think Monique could find her butt with both hands. She's talking out of both sides of her mouth...
Monique is a bitter hag with no concept of compassion. Why am I not surprised?
Back to the original topic: What a skank ho! Hanging out with 4 men continually in a bar!?! And she's surprised one of them called her. Hell yeah, he wants some nooky!

The "incorrect information" I was talking about was all the false thing people believe about the LDS faith. There have been dozens of things brought up for example no glass on one side of our buildings, we can't weear make-up, we have horns, we don't beleive in Christ to name a VERY few which are TRUE but have helped form some peoples view of the LDS church.
The truth is... the Lord asks us to question what we believe. If we just believed in what we did because someone told us to, then there is no basis of faith there.

I do know why I'm strong in my faith. I was not raised LDS I decided to be LDS after several years of looking at other faiths. I know why I belong to this church and why it's right for me. I have experianced in my own life many things that have shown me what I need.
I've read several anti-Mormon books, skim the anti-Mormon sites and time and time again I find the same things, the same arguments against the LDS church ones that for me I have not found to be true. They claim the LDS teaches things I have never heard or seen in any LDS service I've ever attended.
VERY few which are TRUE but have helped form some peoples view of the LDS church.
...I meant...NOT TRUE..
The truth is... the Lord asks us to question what we believe.
The really ironic thing is the LDS church was started by a guy who questioned what he was taught and prayed to know what he should do.

Some time ago someone here linked to the exmormon.org(or something) site and I gotta tell you, it really made me wonder WTH was going on with that religion. I won't call it a cult, but I'm not sure there isn't some bull going on.
I gotta tell you, it really made me wonder WTH was going on with that religion.
Oh yeah it's freaky. I can tell you though I've been a member for 20yrs been to the temple (several different ones) MANY times and have never seen or heard some of the stuff they claim.
Funny how you can sit here and bash a person's religion on this blog. Hmm, how about lets bash somebody for their race? Come on!! I bet the people sitting here calling the LDS a cult and everything are the same people who would get all up in arms about being called a racial slur, or would act upity and better than somebody if they caught somebody using the N word. Give this up people and stay on the fucking topic.
I think most of the LDS threads are started by non LDS people. Look at how many of them there are just today.
As far as the ones that ARE started by them, it is the SAME people over and over. No different than Joe/Steffie and that whole obnoxious group.

I don't think anybody outside of my religion has horns, etc. I really wish people who claim to be so tolerant could stop lumping ALL LDS people together. Not ALL LDS people are alike either. Gee, imagine that.
I know some of you think it is fun to come on here and bash an entire religion. There are LDS people who are posting on here. Apparently we have some things in common. -We aren't the ones starting all the threads and saying that MY religion is the ONLY religion.
There are whackjobs in every religion, every race. If you judged everybody by the most outspoken ones, you would think they were all the same. But they are not.

I think correcting false information about my church is part standing up. Some of it is funny stuff other things are serious and I feel that something needs to be said.
I don't believe I said that everything not written by the LDS church was anti-Mormon. I said that I have read what those against the church (also known as ANTI MorMon) have said and found much of it to be untrue.
I've seldom found truly unbiased things written about the LDS church unless they are very basic items that are part of larger works about religion in general.
I have continued to read religous teachings of other faiths throughout my memebership in the LDS church. I take the wise things I find in some of them and apply them to my life. Wisdom and truth are not sole property of the LDS church I have just found the teaching within this church to suit me the best.
Well I could argue why do so many Mormons love the NSBR? Wouldn't it be against their religion to umm like participate in pile ons and such? Would their "prophet" approve of NSBR? LOL I doubt it. I find it interesting that on the board they are nice, with subtle sarcasm and then they come on here and defend the religion with the same gusto of most anon posters.
I have Mormons come to my door non stop. I say hello in the freaking supermarket and I get "hi what ward are you?" Um none?? That's a shame, here take this and let me explain to you about our religion. Yadda yadda yadda. They are just as bad as Jehovah witnesses IMO!

chopin player in case you don't know what is happening on that thread you should know that you have now had your first "pile-on" and you can apologize 100,000 times and it won't matter, they will get their digs at you in any circumstance.

Okay why is it if a Mormon isn't perfect (swears, drinks a cup of coffee, or dares to argue with anyone) it means the LDS church is false and anyone who believes in it is going to hell BUT if any other Christian falters they are just having a bit of "trouble" or are "learning thier walk with God"?
If the LDS can't see how they exclude people in every aspect of their lives then they are delusional. Even their threads exclude everybody.
LDS ladies what would you???
and then later added to the title in brackets (and anyone else)

WTF?
So go read your Book of Mormon about how yu should act and come on here and do mean things and pray that some "GOD" saves you one day.
So now we are back to the old, "I know you are but what am I?"
HA ha!

Good question. For me the answer to that is I have never seen a religion push themselves so forcefully on everyone as LDS do. So in my opinion you all need to walk the talk. KWIM? I do not mean that disrepectfully either. I have read the Book and Mormon and a guide to understanding Mormon, I do not know everything about the religion but I know some. Likely more than the average "non-mormon"
If the LDS can't see how they exclude people in every aspect of their lives then they are delusional. Even their threads exclude everybody.

Because as has been pointed out by other Christians our beliefs do differ. MOST of the LDS threads are asking about particular things that Christian Peas "in general" wouldn't know anything about.
If I asked what YM was doing for thier vaules this month? how your Relief Society dinner was done? or what your 5th Sunday lesson was? who would be able to answer that except LDS peas or possibly those familiar with the church?

And that's why you should go to a specialized board. You really don't get it, we are tired of you dominating our board.
If I was to post
CATHOLIC PEAS WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I am sure someone would cry foul!
If the question was about say The Pope, head coverings in church vs not, the type of incense burned, if your child should attend a Catholic school, if your DD should become a nun, your priest, going to confession, planning vacations around scared sites,infant basptism, your church run camp or childrens program or things that other Catholics might really have more to offer then no.
You really don't get it, we are tired of you dominating our board.
It's "our" board just as much as yours. The LDS threads that dominate or stay on page 1 for days are almost always started by non-LDS people. So should those of us who are LDS jsut ignore people and never breathe a word about or church?
CATHOLIC PEAS WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I wouldn't cry foul. I don't get it. If we aren't specific enough in our titles and 'make you waste your time opening a thread you have no interest in' then it is excluding.
If there were a bunch of Catholic Peas, I need help with________. I wouldn't be offended.
Then all of the crock pot peas could go to a specialized board.
Peas looking for prayers could go to a specialized board.
Peas wanting to bitch about their jobs could go to a specialized board.
LOST/American Idol, etc peas should go to a specialized board.
Exactly what would be ok for there to be discussed on the NSBR then?
Look, I am proud of my religion. I stand up for it. But some of you are acting like you just want somebody to argue with and back into a corner. Isn't this the pile on mentality that you hate about 2Peas so much?
I'm here. I'm a regular poster here. I can't answer all of your questions about my faith. But please don't go ask those questions on the boards because then 'we' are taking over the boards.
Please, go on hating then. Some people have tried to answer questions that you have. Nothing is going to change your mind. Especially somebody who is trying to have a conversation with you.
I'm out. (But not hairflipping from the blog! Ha!) Just this topic.
And that's why you should go to a specialized board. You really don't get it, we are tired of you dominating our board.
I'm a geek so I looked at the past month I found 72 threads on the NSBR boards with either LDS or Mormon as a title. That was out of 207 pages of posts which was more than 8000 posts in all.
Don't misunderstand me I really don't think LDS should go to another board. I think the titles of the threads exclude and I just don't see why religion (yours or mine or whoever's) has to dominate a board. We all share our own beliefs and that is that.
I get what you are saying about certain things for LDS or catholics, however a lot of the LDS threads are not about something specific to LDS. They might be a bout anything, however I am just starting to realize that all things in your life seem to go back to LDS in some way. You seem to have guidelines for everything. My religion is not like that.
As I am sure LDS people realize there is animosity towards the fact that LDS thing they are THE CHURCH! Seeing those threads over and over just seems to shout WE ARE RIGHT! WE ARE THE CHURCH! THIS IS FOR US!
You know? Again I don't mean this to be insulting and I apologize if it is taken that way.
As I am sure LDS people realize there is animosity towards the fact that LDS thing they are THE CHURCH!
Part of that is being lazy. Instead of saying the entire name of our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints) we say "The Church" we don't mean THE and in one and only we mean "the church" as in the one we don't want to have to say the entire name of.
I think that is why we have been encourged to say LDS. Saying "Mormon" implys we worship Mormon, saying "church of Jesus chirst" confuses us with several other churches and say "the church" sound snobby.
I am just starting to realize that all things in your life seem to go back to LDS in some way.
That is very true much of the way I live is based on the teachings of my church. My standard of dress, what I eat, what our family does for fun, how many kids I have, who I married, the job my DH decided to make his career, my choice to be home all are based in great part on my faith.

I should say that on most of these topics I already had views and that WHY I became LDS. I found a church that fit what I beleived instead of trying to make myself beleive what somebody else told me too.

I'm Catholic and I rarely see a Catholic thread. Well if it is a Catholic thread, it is an opinion discussion. Not addressed to catholics for a specific question like your examples, most of which I've never seen on the board.

I've never seen that, but if I did I would find that to be very snobby. I hope that was just an isolated innocent.

But how many of those were started by non LDS people asking a questions about mormons?
And I would pretty much discount any thread with that word in the title started by Scrapbooker or Mary Mary. They'll do that just to piss people off.
I'll bet when you take out those two things, you will find just as many threads about Diva cups, Merkins, and Crocs.

Okay what threads are you seeing?? I looked of the 60 some I found 5 of them could maybe be answered by other people (finding music by a certain artist, ideas of a dinner, ideas for girls camp) the rest unless you knew something about
Primary (our kids clasess), church dress standards and a recent talk given by a leader, how we organized our food storage, LDS missions or LDS doctrine you really couldn't add much.
I wonder how many of you read those threads and SEE that the question asked does somehow relate to certain LDS practices and how many of you see the "LDS" in the title and just get offended.

See this is exactly why you should go to a LDS board for stuff like this.

I get annoyed and think not again and wonder why you don't go to a Lds board.
If you can answer questions and share opinions about mission, temple, and other LDS topics, feel free to post on those threads.
Catty women fighting over Jesus. Amazing. There are some seriously holier than though bullshit going on on the board today. I think anyone that lives their life based on 2000 year old book is a bit "out there." It amazes me that people fight over who has the right interpretation of that book.

You seem to miss the point. Anyone could use a crockpoint, without converting to another religion to understand the significance of it.

You must have missed the crock pot thread. :) Only the most vile unworthy people cook meals for their families in crockpots.
Your welcome to add anything you want to the LDS threads...many people often do.
Really those of you complaining spend a few minutes looking at the LDS threads you are making it a much bigger deal than it really is.
Can Mormons use dildos or is that a forbidden object?
"I get annoyed and think not again and wonder why you don't go to a Lds board."
I've come to the conclusion that a lot of you are way too easily annoyed. You are annoyed at people posting pictures of their kids, you are annoyed at people networking to others who share their faith, you are annoyed with people who post about their relationships,jobs, pregnancies and children.
I am not LDS and I am left to wonder, what threads do not annoy you?
Can Mormons use dildos or is that a forbidden object?
There is no "offical" word on it I've ever seen. Some would say no. I prefer to go by the idea of what ever goes on between a man and his wife behind closed doors is thier business and of no concern to anyone else. This (the second statement) is what I was told by my Bishop before I was married.

I think vibrators are mainly used by single women.

I don't get offended by it, I just think "EXCLUSION"
They don't bother me when I see them, it just bothers me that you (collective you) can't see that it is excluding people. I said it earlier though, I know it affects all aspects of your lives. So most likely after today it will bother me even less.
Again there seems to be some anon bashing all things LDS and I am not one of them.
Could Yvonne be any stupider? thread
"Muslims don't believe in the Bible"
That thread reminds me of a some comments I read here before:

For me, I believe that Mormons are Christians and believe in God and Jesus, but so do tons of other cults. The issue for me is the brainwashing their receive and I feel sorry for them. They're so obediant to their cult and support their wack beliefs down to all the ridiculous requirements such as no caffeine and special underwear.

I just think it's a thread I don't know anything about like if someone had a thread asking questions about girlscouts or backpackers.
You know what's ironic. The lds peas are quick to point out that polygamists are not lds, yet the polygamists also read the book of mormon and call themselves lds. So what are they? Judaism has many different levels, so lds has reformed and traditional.
If lds are going to say polygamists are not lds, then we have a right to say lds are not Christians because they do many things quite different from all other Christian denominations.

Almost but not totally Christian is a HUGE umbrella covering hundreds if not thousands of churches. When LDS people say those who practice polygamy are not LDS it's to make clear that THEY the main body of the church know as *The Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter Day Saints* don't recognize those people as part of thier church AND that those people don't follow the same leaders they are still Christian (most are I think) but just not LDS.
It's like saying because I believe in the Book of Mormon I'm not Catholic....which is true...but I'm still Christian.
Was the crockpot the problem or was it the pre-packaged chemical-laden by-products in food shapes?
If I remember the chemical thing came into it but there were some jabs at caring enough to actually cook for real.
Cults are cults no matter what "legal" name you give them.
I will be happy when everyone realizes that Jesus is about as real as The Easter Bunny. Now THAT will be a day on the Peas board!
Socratesmom is an idiot anyway. Does she not see her feet as an avatar is disgusting? She has UGLY feet and I am not kidding. They are deformed.
oh man that LDS thread is getting better. Chopin called them frigging idiots.
You know call me stupid but I really really didn't see anything offensive about what she said. She just wasn't good at writing it you know??
I don't think exclusion when I see LDS in the subject. Any more than I think exclusion when I see a post directed at a certain person. I just figure it's a question to do with their religion so I just don't open it...no biggie. But then, I don't get all bent out of shape over every little thing on NSBR. It's just a message board.
yup it is just a message board!
Now that I said I will never post on another LSD thread at NSBR they are offended & telling me I'm not a good christian because I don't feel like I can discuss things civilly with them.
I saw one LDS gal say something to that effect most of the people giving you a hard time were not LDS and some not even Christian.
I started caring what they thought when clearly they didn't care what I thought.
They did care it was just hard to understand you. You seem to have a hard time saying what you believe or understanding that others believing different didn't effect you.
I'm LDS I don't care if you don't think I'm Christian. I hope you don't hold any hate in your heart towards me not because of me but for your own sake.
Cults are cults no matter what "legal" name you give them.

Thank you! There are 'friendly' established cults: LDS, Jehovah Witness, and Scientology.
Why didn't the Branch Davidians take out Scrapbrooker when they set their cult on fire?

Because they weren't Mormons and Waco is a long way from Utah.
I thought the LDS gals were showing a hell of a lot more class than some of the folks who claim to be "Christian" on that thread. I remember a church I used to attend (Calvary Chapel) was big on calling other religions cults, but then they were accused of being a cult by another church. Any church can take on cultlike qualities.
It's "our" board just as much as yours. The LDS threads that dominate or stay on page 1 for days are almost always started by non-LDS people. So should those of us who are LDS jsut ignore people and never breathe a word about or church?

Noone said that YOU called LDS a cult, someone was responding to someone else.

Ask them I don't have a clue why.
Your exact quote was
"scrapsista said...
I know that I never stated that LDS was a cult & I don't think anyone else did either. I might be wrong but I KNOW I didn't say it was. Stop putting words in my mouth!!
12:37 PM "
In the post above you told people to stop putting words in your mouth, yet you later said
"I'm just trying to clear as much of it up as possible. There probably is someone from that thread that figures I said that or I believe it so I just thought I'd put it out there that I never did."
I am saying this in the nicest way I can and I hope you realize it is said with no ill will, perhaps you should take time to read over your posts to make sure that you don't come off sounding too anxious or upset. I read the thread at peas and IMO it seemed like you were reading a bit too much into some of the statements. A lot of those women on that thread have differences of opinion but are able to have cival discussions, and at the end they hug, agree to disagree and go their separate ways.
This is not a handslap or an accusation, this is simply an observation to ChopinPlayer that her postings, here and at peas, seem a bit rash, and it is much easier to get along with people on the internet if you handle the discussions the same way you would handle a discussion in real life. Take a minute to see what the other side is saying, formulate your opinion and try to remove emotion from your posts. I understand that the people posting to you don't always do that, but if you do, your posts are much easier to understand and read, and it keeps the flow of the thread going in a way that is easier to read.
I'm only saying this because I think you have a lot of interesting things to say and I would hate to see you be written off by people as one of *those* overly emotional posters or worse. OK I know that I'm going to get slammed, bashed, accused of handslapping, called a bitch and a cunt.
"SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THE HELL A NON LDS WOULD START A THREAD ABOUT LDS. "
I wish I knew why, but it always seems like somebody is asking a question about the faith. Like yesterday's thread. Then the LDS girls try to answer the original question.
= an LDS thread started by a non LDS person.
There the hell you go.
"But honestly, thanks for talking to me respectfully about it..it doesn't go unappreciated. "
Glad to know. While I don't agree with the behavior of some of the people on that thread, I find that a lot of the unwritten rules apply across the board on different message boards. Some of the comments were snarky but from peas who are 90-95% nice. Some were from peas who are snarky about 50% of the time. It's a mixed bag there, good and bad, but generally speaking there are some great discussions and I've learned a lot. I've also become much more understanding of other peoples belief systems in my many years there.
Anyways I really did feel sorry for you as you apoligized up and down time after time. I'm not excusing the things that people said, I am just offering advice to help you avoid it. Noone deserves a pileon, at peas or here. :)
*sigh* you are trying very hard and I have developed a lot of respect for what you are trying to do. I *like* Mary Mary and I hope she responds in kind, but if she doesn't, you can go to sleep knowing you are the bigger person here.
It really doesn't pay to debate things like God, Abortion and Politics on peas. OH and illegal immigration. LOL
scrapsista and her sista need to learn the value of a well-placed paragraph. That would be a good start in making their posts more coherent.

Wow, just wow. I hope you're not homeschooling.
