I didn't get the idea that you were but thank you for clarifying nonetheless. Maybe I will make the revision so as to better portray my message. Thanks Indy.

I hate these formal official arm's length transactions, certified letter stuff.

That is a good idea. However, either way I will be spending money. The 42 cents for a stamp or money for gas to drive the 15 minutes to his house. Sweet Jesus! What is a heretic to do? LOL

You say you love the church in your letter, which I'm sure is sincere. I could name several foundational doctrines, however, that your grievances are fundamentally at odds with.

Perhaps you could take a moment and tell us what doctrines and practices of the church there are that you love?

Ha...Look at Tex.....all of a sudden he thinks it is okay to play the role of Katie Couric.

Anthesian, DONT ANSWER! Don't play Tex's little quiz show.

Name 5 doctrines and practices of the Church you love.....Go!

I love the centrality and importance of the family life. As I said before, I'm not creedal but I respect and admire the 13 Articles of Faith as a neutral ground for foundational beliefs of the LDS church. I love the act of proxy baptism and proxy endowment. I see it as an offering in the spirit of humility and compassion. I admire the faithfulness of members to the building up of Zion and promoting communities of peace. I love the teachings on humility, endurance, perseverance, and charity. I love the consistent respect despite differences and disagreement.

I gotta get to my public speaking class...I will try to think of more.

kind of off-subject a little bit, but when you are excommunicated are you prohibited from wearing garments?

I'm supposed to stop wearing them but they can't tell me what underwear to wear. But I can't go buy any once my membership is canceled. I have stopped wearing them. Not because I don't believe in the covenants I personally made but because it is part of the act of separation.

Anthesian, sorry, but you are boring. You are posting long manifestos and talkng about your underwear.

Can we speak to Kyle instead?
