Sensitive, indeed. But you showed great precision in circumnavigating it.

Default Why do you care? Seriously, my friend.

Your post brings to mind the comment of some wise person who noted that so many people "leave the Church, but cannot leave the Church alone."

Right there with those who join the church and won't leave the rest of the world alone.

...Yes, crawling in a cave and dying is the height of existence Mike.

Maybe pumped up Mormons want to share their precious fruit just as much as ex-Mormons want to share theirs.

Not being able to "leave the church alone" isn't another sign that its true.

Some wish to share joy; some, bitterness.

Sharing fruit would actually require you to offer something besides an assortment of outright lies, half-truths, quotes taken completely out of context or making very biased conclusions from data that is woefully incomplete.

If you were honestly sharing fruit, you would be offering spiritual insights that enrich the lives of those you come into contact with.

When you actually have fruit that comes in a variety different than dingleberries, then feel free to come back.

I have no interest in getting into the assortment of outright lies, half-truths and other refuse littering the yard of the church.

It sufficeth to say that one mans trash is another mans treasure.

By sharing fruit, Indy means, share a positive uplifting emotional experience. And the ones of no value to us, "Once I was freed from the clutches of that horrible, lying sobs in the Church, I felt free to get drunk whenever I wished...."

We know you believe you dissembled the Church. Big deal, join the lemming group of others.

What positive system or systems have you adopted to make your life meaningful. Simply deriding is not meaningful for most.

This is your challenge, provide a meaningful positive insight into something.
