MADB As Part Of Deconversion Narrative

[mms]

mms, the cap on the tube of Preparation H is intended to come off before you apply the cream...you want what's inside, not the whole tube. You might find life a little more comfortable if you heed this advice (hey, there's a first time for everything).

Second, my comment was wholly tongue-in-cheek and was directed toward LOAP, not yourself.

Third, I have I usurped no authority that is not mine, nor did I call anyone a reprobate. I do think your knee-jerk reaction to associate your name with that charge is extremely telling, however.

Here are the facts- You were permitted to return after your suspension for misbehavior.

Instead of making the most of that opportunity, you have simply gone on the attack- criticizing others and exploiting every chance to bemoan your fate and proclaim yourself a victim.

I and others am not buying it- and believe it or not, posts can be made on these boards that have nothing to do with you.

Flaunt your greivances elsewhere- I'm not here to listen to you cry into your beer.

Awesome. (LOAP, I can see you associate with the cream of the crop (did I say "cream"?).)

You have outlived your use. You are now on ignore.

1) No.

2) Yes.

3) Perhaps I've got 1 and 2 mixed up though...

PM on its wayâ?¦ maybe.

And thus, I have successfully participated in another thread derailment. Suh-weet!

You can't ignore me Doc- I'm the Lead Caterer/Second Deranged Fiend at the SSCE.

If you shut me out, where will you get your cheese blintzes for the ritual sacrifice?

From my perspective MADB becomes part of someones "deconversion narrative" only to the extent that LDS apologetics are generally part of that process. From what I've seen most people coming here looking for answers when their attempts so far haven't worked. To them their doubts and questions aren't some clich

If somebody wants to leave, there is nothing anybody can say that will make them stay.

One of my best friends was told by his parents that if he got baptized, they would disown him.

One of my exmo friends was told by his wife that if he left, she'd divorce him.

They both went through with it. I don't think any web site is the deal maker or deal breaker.

The fact is that people use web MD and match dot com to make extremely important decisions. Is it so unrealistic to think that a member would come to the internet for important answers about religion?

I was LDS, but am a convert to the Community of Christ/RLDS church. I don't think my participation on the FAIR, or now MADB board effected my decision to be baptized in 2005.

Making use of the internet to come to a decision is almost like seeing a marriage therapist to decide on a divorce. If one feel's dissafected then such discussions may only re-inforce your feeling's.
