Shadow: so you haven't accepted my call to stop? It's hard because you have called me a liar. For the record, I'm only posting as Samuel the LMANITE. i HAVE USED cAPTAIN mORONI ON OTHER FORUMS. I will only respond to useful posts in the future.

I hadn't read your request on the other thread until after I posted. Note I've edited my post.

Brother: The cynicism and mocking sounds just like those who mock the Saints because Jesus has delayed His coming. It is harmful because it gives justification to slack off in preparing. Is that your motivation or simply putting down me and others who believe there will be a calling out?

I'm glad you asked what my motivation is. It's only to show that we can't trust in the arm of man. You're a man. Just be careful in giving your predictions. You've been proven false by time and history. You often speak of having the HG be a witness so I think it's important that people know that your past predictions have been wrong so you must NOT have had a witness from the HG as you say you do. Nothing cynical and no mocking attitude in my response. That said and just as important, you mock me for calling you out as being wrong. I suggest you not do that as many apostates mock the prophets and saints for telling the truth. So please don't get after me for telling the truth...
And just to be clear, I hope everyone gets prepared! tough times are all around us. By me calling you a false prophet is in no way suggesting to others that they shouldn't be prepared. I think most people see that. While many people set themselves up as a light, we also know that in the last days there will be false prophets. You got after me in 2008 for suggesting you were wrong on your call-out prediction of April 2009. There was no call-out in April 2009. That's just a fact. I was right and you were wrong and here you are still accusing me... seems twisted to me.
But hey, you asked for my motivation and there you have it.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.

[Samuel the Lamanite]

Glad to meet you. I've never known anyone by that name either in person or on any LDS forum. So?????


I know of only person who has been as vicous towards me as you've been. That person is John R of Alaska.

And just to clarify in case some people here don't know- Captain Moroni now goes by Samuel the Lamanite.

This is the post that you've gotten so worked up over (mostly on the other thread). As you, and all can see, I wasn't accusing you of being a liar by posting under two different names. My post speaks for itself.
The fact of the matter is that you used to post under the name of Captain Moroni. That's fine! You now post under the name Samuel the Lamanite. That's fine too! I just wanted people to know that the two are authored by the same person. No accusations at all. You misinterpreted what I posted, even after I clarified you still are hot and heavy over the issue. Let it go man, just let it go... )

Shadow: I didn't use the handle Captain Moroni as it was already taken (It's taken by you!). I never meant any deception as you implied in your post. I will even give my name: Doug Schell, King, NC. The only reason I didn't use my real name is NOT out of fear/paranoia but this didn't seem to be the way of this particular forum. Brother of Jared and Shadow, will give out your real names or stand behind the "curtain?"

I wasn't implying at all that you're deceptive for using two different names, I just wanted the readers to know that Captain Moroni and Samuel the Lamanite are the same person. Many people here have used different names, I'm not one of them.

No need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Shadow, I will admit that I'm paranois in my interpretation of what you said. Notice that youy didn't address my questions. You're good at attacking someone and implying things and then denying while staying behind a curtain.

John R come out from behind the curtain or remain a coward.

What constitutes APOSTASY? And helping each other avoid it

=)) I often wonder why this place hasn't been abandoned to the members of the benevolent order of the ark steadiers? Chel called no joy, I am here very infrequently as of late but nevertheless about ready to follow suit, and a great many of the noble and great posters of days past are no longer accounted among those here (a tip of the hat to them).

I have often debated with myself whether I should be "mean" here (and I usually am) or listen to the care bear pseudo charity club. Every time we run off a kook we get pm's saying "thanks" and posts pointing out how evil we are. At times it's been worth it (running off those who interfere with good LDS doctrinal discussions and turn this into a rats nest), but lately it has seemed like an infestation of quasi new order mormons and rlds and apostate this and thats etc... And by the way is anyone moderating anymore?

The point is well illustrated by the current topics list by comparison to days past. Some days I'm surprised to see anyone I respect still here. Maybe we're all doing the hit and run thing. Oh well I'm just an frustrated egotist trying to mentally avoid the hellish true doctrines of the plan of happiness. :-B

SwissMiss: I guess I'm among those persons you're critizing as I received a personal email from BrianM counseling me caution on some topics. I have assured BrianM that I will comply. So... you see the mdoerator is here. :ymapplause:
