I’m starting wonder if she’s legitimately mentally retarded – or at least, “slow”. If she’s a troll, she’d have to keep it up 24-7, because that’s all she posts on the internet. ---

Oy! Not all of us! (Says she’s who’s lived about as far SE in TN as you can get for the last 10 yrs) Though to be fair, I’m actually a Heathen Yankee Transplant 😛 Or should I say :p:p:p ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > Agreed! > > For the record, here is the LDS’s stance on suicide. Probably one reason a lot of other Christians secs don’t like us much 😉 > > "Although it is wrong to take one’s own life, a person who commits suicide may not be responsible for his or her acts. Only God can judge such a matter. Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has said: > > “Obviously, we do not know the full circumstances surrounding every suicide. Only the Lord knows all the details, and he it is who will judge our actions here on earth. > > ”When he does judge us, I feel he will take all things into consideration: our genetic and chemical makeup, our mental state, our intellectual capacity, the teachings we have received, the traditions of our fathers, our health, and so forth“ (”Suicide: Some Things We Know, and Some We Do Not,“ Ensign, Oct. 1987, 8)." **Apes** This whole discussion in part is related to links **JOSH** posted to support her view on suicide. The thing is the links directly contradicted her position. Her link was almost exactly said the same thing as your quote. This is where, for me, the wheels came off. She just refuses to grok what her own Bible says. Nice to see ya on the dark side **Capt/Jim** ---

If you scroll through this thread really quickly, all the smiley faces _almost_ make a cartoon, like one of those books where you flip the pages really quickly to animate a stick figure drawing. ---

I think most of what she believes doesn’t even come directly from scripture or God. It is pretty typical of people who let others ( i.e. pastors, bishops, priests) tell them what to think instead of thinking for themselves. ---

Even though I can’t see it anymore (Thanks be to the heathen programmers who blessed us with that option, 'cause we all know teh interwebs is evul!), I must show my gratitude to my brain dead pittee… I do believe in my over ten years of being here, this has been my most successful thread. And it’s all because Dopers could come together (for once) in their united mocking to show disgust. It’s a beautiful sight to behold. So, thanks for helping me get the word out there that you’re batshit crazy. It’s awesome to know that the next time this shit is pulled on another unsuspecting message board, those members will be able to google (just like we did :):):)) and see this in the results. That’s all kinds of poetic justice. Dog bless you always!!! \>:} \>:} \>:} ---

Grassy ass! \<3 My pleasure. :):)🙂 And just to share with the class for shîts and giggles, I thought I’d google stalker girl and banned and guess what came up? Another thread about James (of course) on a Taylor Swift message board. But the funny part? She describes how she’s been BANNED FROM JAMES OTTO’S OFFICIAL WEBSITE! Bwahahaha! So, his #1 fan and biggest nightmare can’t even be obnoxious about him up close and personal? There isn’t anything more hilarious than that today. More fake blessings, blah blah blah. ---

Just because I may not agree with you or like you doesn’t mean I will shelter myself from the comments I don’t like. I learn from everything I read, no matter the source. You can continue to offend people and tell them to just ignore you if we don’t like it, but really you are the one in the wrong not us.
