In reality Texas is where the south meets the west. But it is more south than west. Texans feel no kinship with New Mexico, Arizona, California. In reality Texans feel no kinship with any of their neighbors, but overall you have to consider Texas culture more similar to Georgia than Arizona. |

Priesthood authority is important. Temple work is vital. Living prophet is important. Variation in doctrine within the Christian umbrella is a problem. Mormon doctrine fits in under that umbrella but that umbrella is pretty wide. The organization of one, true church is important to prepare for and usher in the Second Coming. These are not embellishments in the sense they are unimportant. But they may be considered embellishments in the sense that standing alone, they are meaningless; they are simply tools or methods to further God's purposes, which can be summarized through the important doctrines I listed previously that we share with Christians already. |

I wonder how many in the deep south would consider Texas to be part of the south? I just found it interesting. I haven't spent much time in Texas, but I would have compared it more to Arizona than to Georgia (having spent some time in Georgia). |

In reality, it's a little of both, with something all its own mixed in. |

That's exactly it for me. I like our separateness and uniqueness and I don't want to be considered mainstream Christianity. I'd just like our fellow Christians to acknowledge us as fellow Christians. Sure, maybe a little weird and wacky, but Christians nonetheless. Not a cult. |

I have always considered Texas is basically Northern Mexico.
