Some former
members of the Church like to pull the "I know what you think and where
you are at the moment--I used to be there, too!" line. Michael Flournoy has pulled this tactic recently:
In all fairness, I understand what the author
is getting at. I was a Mormon missionary myself. I’ve had all the same
experiences and the same testimony. It’s not like I woke up one morning and
mists of darkness covered those feelings up. I walked away with them intact,
and it was excruciating. So why did I do it? Like so many others, I was
compelled to follow my conscience and take up the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Just a word
to the wise, only use this if you are actually informed about the Church, unlike
Michael who has embarrassed himself time and time again after he embraced the
false "gospel" of Protestantism, evidenced by the following:
