That's a Mormon" (sung to the tune of "That's Amore'")
I don't see a heckofalot of difference between their attitude and that of most religious folk I know, regardless their faith.
The exclusivity, the arrogance, the condescencion, and the dogged determination to stay that way, all seem de riguer for those with a strong belief based solely on mythology.
I wouldn't feel anymore sorry for them than any other devoted church member. I am becoming increasingly wary of all of them, though...
Exclusivity and biblically insupportable doctrines are not unique to the Mormon Church. While I find many of the core doctrines biblically insupportable, they have come a long way in modern years in regards to race and gender discrimination. They have maintained family values better than some.
Recently they have even opened up a bit about the darker sides of their history with honest dialog about such things as the Mountain Meadows Massacre .
Let's see how they handle the fairly recent sex abuse cover up charges.
Interesting... Would that be with a bow tie on the handlebars, or a conventionally tied tie lying across the fuel tank?
Never let yourself get amputated from the Body of Christ, folks. (Even you, George.)
WW: When I was these young people's ages, I was getting sucked into TWI by an impressively open young man who seemed to have a lot of answers and always seemed to get his prayers answered.
He was a good guy - M&A'd now, of course, long since. They dropped him as soon as he confronted some leadership who weren't doing what was right.

It's a shame that they had God confined in this little box and they consider Him
only accessible to THEIR church.
Please note that those young people are young (duh), and remember how wise you
were at that age-you might have been in twi at the time, and convinced
God was confined in a different little box and considered Him only accessible
to YOUR church.
Please also note that they were on their equivalent to the wow field, and so they
were singleminded and persistent- which shows in how they answered your
questions.
