and

It is your sincerest desire that all members gain the same witness you have?

Wow. Talk about wielding the conformity hammer. They have their own witnesses, and that, sir, should be enough for you.

I never said anything about the SAME experiences. I am saddened that there are active members of the church who don't believe in things like personal revelation and that God is involved in their lives. My desire is for all to have their OWN experiences to gain a witness of this.

If that makes me arrogant, so be it.

The bottom line is that the CG "intellectuals" are so hyper-sensitive about this topic that anything that is said to the contrary is projected to be arrogant, condescending, etc.

It's the CG version of "flyover country" where the elite left thinks everyone not on the coasts are ignorant hicks.

What part of "the spiritual experiences that I have" does not imply sameness?

You are being completely ridiculous on this subject.
