95:===Why are you against the church?=== First off, I am not against the LDS faith nor the LDS church. My research and edits here on Knowledge (XXG) center around the use of historical facts, my opinion and experiences. I am not anti-mormon, tot he contrary I do not loathe the LDS faith as some religously oriented opponents do. Most LDS apologists lump all opponents of the LDS church/faith into one category and this truly shows the black and white midset of a great deal of mopologists.
82:- I am a former mormon who is opposed to the idea that the LDS church is the one and only true faith. It is my goal to present a clear differentiation between what represents an accurate depiction of Mormonism and what is taught by its peddlers. I see a great deal of rabid pro-mormon POV's here on Knowledge (XXG) and ironically the NPOV statement is weilded by the zealoutrous crusaders for mormonism within Wikpedia. This is the main reason I have involved myself with Knowledge (XXG).

the black and white mentality and many other factions and groupings one merely has to look at the corporation of the president of the LDS church. Oh yeah, and polygamy too. See for a tired and drawn out description of why I find membership in teh LDS faith not to be worth the paper my temple recomend is printed on.

Are you really interested? I can tell you it was not due to offense, sin, or any other of the tired and worn out excuses given in PEC every Sunday morning. To explain the almost mass exodus occuring right now by RM's (estimated to be 40% by some), tired housewives and fathers, teenagers tired of

I have come to the conclusion that editing wikipedia pages on mormonism is like talking to a child who keeps saying "why?" after you answer the last time they said 'why?'. Eventually you get tired, they think they have won and no one is better off. In the process they are not really listening to

but I certainly see this TENDENCY in the attitiude that the LDS church is the ultimate authority on the LDS church. I respect a great deal of the LDS authors here on
Knowledge (XXG) but to believe that most LDS writeups should be taken as truth is one of the reasons I edit the Knowledge (XXG).

I see squatters who bully, monopolize and project a marginalized opinion as true or mainstream. Not everywhere and certainly not all religiously motivated authors are forwarding falsehood but I definitely see a common thread posessing disregard for others point of view.

Ask why it offends you. Is it because your opinion is in the minority or is it because your aceptance of what I provide is irrelevant? Please keep in mind that those I usually spar with do so in defense of unconfirmed, counterintuitive beliefs. You have been warned.

Thanks for your kind comments. I'm trying to keep the article as neutral as possible, even at the expense of angering my exmo friends. I am extremely tenacious and I will stay with the article until it is well-written and stable - and even after that. Cheers!

your answers but just gearing up for the next 'why?'. It is futile to debate children. That being said, I strive to involve the wikipedia community more in defense of established fact, knocking down the inability to stand up for what is fact and reality.

Hi! This is the page describing James Hill, AKA Vegasbright. I took a long break from
Wikpedia but now I think I am ready to pick up the torch, here to clean up the POV presence in certain articles. This is my goal.
