Brief update. I was recently released from my duties in bishopric and resumed my former calling as an instructor for Sunday School. This frees up some time, but I still intend to limit my comments here to avoid getting sucked in and wasting time in my real life.
As a side note, long ago Frink mentioned a site supposedly trying to provide a neutral viewpoint on my church called mormonthink.com. I’ve been to the site several times and had my own observations, and I recently went there again. I assure you, while they portray themselves as fair and balanced, just active Mormons raising serious questions, it is quite apparent from a superficial view that they are portraying things in a very hostile manner. They are a typical anti-Mormon site except for one thing: they use softer wording when providing the “pro-Mormon” perspective. Anyone skilled in debate or critical thinking can see their methods are intended as critical. To highlight their falsehoods, this link can illustrate their duplicity even more:
