DAVEH: I feel exactly the same way, DavidM. What I don't quite understand is why
some TTers (notably, Dean) don't find such a forum to be interesting, informative and
useful. In their compelling need to convert others to their way of thinking, it
almost seems as though they become irrational in their thinking and actions. To me,
this feeling of frustration (at failing to easily accomplish their goals) seems to
translate into their actions when protesting in SLC.
If I weren't so wrapped up in other time consuming activities, I'd be tempted to
set up some kind of round table forum dedicated to just an exchange of ideas without
allowing hostile exchanges. I've got a feeling that may not be as easy to control as
it seems though.
It kinda saddens me to think that even though my primary purpose to be on TT is to
find out about the beliefs of Protestants, many TTers now do not want to discuss such
with me, and those who do merely want to bury me with anti-Mormon arguments. I do
appreciate you (DavidM, Judy and other willing TTers) taking the time to answer my
questions though.
