[b. You do her a grave disservice with your condemnation of her.
 Your as dense as Blondie, I in no way condemed her, I stated a fact about her beleifs and style of her testimony, I said.... if you read my last post to blondie, that it is neither good nor bad, but just how it is with some. Did you read that or not comprehend it?
Percy, you constantly condemn Kitkat for what your opinion of her beliefs are and then you compare Kitkat to your Mother in regards to the way they believe. So, if you aren't condemning your Mother, then lay the hell off of Kitkat.
I'll lay off her when she lays off me, course nags don't know there nagging, and can't stop, it's what they do. As we see here from the three wise nags. 
I in no way condemned her, read my posts again and you'll see I merely stated there are people like her and my Mom out there, mostly the older generation I find are like this, they don't know much abou the gospel, except they believe it. Nothing wrong with that, I admire their testimonies, for myself however, I like to study all aspects of the gospel, good, bad, whatever.
One example is in the last few days Kitkat has been getting on me, naggging me, about what I say about the bible being inaccurate, when it is in our scriptures that this is the case. I asked her many times if she understood this, she won't answer, because she doens't even know our doctrine on the subject of the Bible, nor the scriptures in the Book of Mormon that discuss the Bible. Neither does my mom, it's just they don't really study things like that. But still have a testimony.You clearly have a problem with strong women Percy. "deal with it" "Dar Dar"

I am not interested in what current leaders interpret this to mean. .
Wow, pride goeth before the fall. The arrogance you have is astounding.
Take a look at your own behavior Percy. Lifted up in the pride and arrogance of your own beliefs...you have undertaken to mock and deride MY beliefs.
In arrogance you have presumed day after day on this forum to judge me.
You have obsessed on my tiny motes and have completely ignored the old growth forest growing on your own eyeballs.
The Lord said...'Judge not, that ye be not judged.'
What are the principle reasons some people judge others?
1. It is easier to criticize than to be constructive. As a nineteenth century clergyman noted, “Only God can form and paint a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.” People are not perfect; they are sometimes annoying, disappointing, inconsiderate, and selfish, and they do make mistakes. Thus, it is easy for us to find faults, because there are plenty of them around.
2. To magnify our own virtues. One way to improve ourselves is to develop our talents, skills, and virtues. However, because it is easier to criticize than to be constructive, we may decide not to improve ourselves but instead attempt to make others look smaller by tearing them down; then we will look bigger by comparison without actually becoming any bigger. Secure, successful people do not feel the need to undermine others in order to establish their own worth.
3. To justify our own faults. By pointing out how many other people have faults and that some of their faults are worse than ours, we make our faults seem smaller by comparison. As President N. Eldon Tanner has noted, “Sometimes as I move among people I am almost convinced that it is human nature to magnify the weaknesses in others in order to minimize our own.” (Improvement Era, June 1967, p. 29.)
4. Revenge or jealousy. Because we may have been wronged by someone, we may want to get even with him by hurting him. Or we may want to tear down a person who outshines us if we are covetous or envious of what he has.
5. To shift the blame. When we make mistakes, we may avoid the responsibility for them by criticizing the performance of those who are working with us. Or we may try to shift the responsibility by finding fault with the performance of others.
Leave off judging me Dubss...and concentrate upon judging yourself.
My beliefs are my beliefs...and my interpretations are my own...just as my life is my own.
Live your life Dubss...and I will live mine as I see fit.
Blah blah blah, justification, blah blah arrogance, blah blahBlah blah blah, justification, blah blah arrogance, blah blahNow there's a reasoned intellectual argument from Percy.

Good reply, Betz. A fanatic like Decaf who does not know the Christ and puts a leader higher than God will have a gap between the real where he lives and the ideal that is Truth. So he lashes out at others. Remember that since he does not know, his words have no power to hurt.
Tell me Saint Wren, why has God ceased to communicate with his prophets?
