DAVEH.....One of the TT Cowards: Blaine (and DavidM)......This is one thing I find unpalatable. I have sent several books to a couple of TTers at their request with no conditions. With (perhaps) one exception (He Walked The Americas) I only expect that they wanted them to use in arguments against me and my beliefs. Even though it is akin to me handing the hangman the rope and helping him tie the knot, I understand that and am not troubled by it. I have given the books freely and without any conditions. Nor have I bugged anybody about how much they have read them, or complained when they have used them negatively. In return I am chastised for not accepting a book intended to be detrimental to my beliefs when it is only offered IF I will promise to read it. Yes Blaine, like you I am not one who enjoys being pushed into a corner. If I find the book in my 'travels' someday, I will likely purchase it and peruse it at my convenience as the Spirit directs. I have a few such anti-Mormon books and do not feel uncomfortable having them in my library. But I don't like having them stuffed down throat though. This is one offer that seems like a one-way street. If I accept the book from DavidM and don't end up leaving the LDS Church, then all 'hell' is going to reign down on my head.

DAVEH.....One of the TT Cowards: I don't ever recall him saying he was here for the same reasons I am here. Perhaps he is here to convert all the non-LDS TTers to his way of thinking. Or maybe he likes to argue. Or perhaps he likes getting his nose bloodied. Why don't you ask him!

I have repeatedly been told what I believe and have numerous times requested that I be asked what I believe rather than be told what I believe. BTW.......I just realized that I am responding to you (DavidM) while replying to Blaine's post. I had intended to answer you directly, but have so little time now that I don't know when/if I'll be able to finish this. Today was a 14 hour day of standing on my feet for a good portion of it, and I'm beat (1:30 am) and have a long journey tomorrow.
