Well gdawson, I think it was necessary for me to be on the end of it. Had I not? I may not have questioned things as much. There are serious frauds and manipulations out there and sadly it will indeed convince many, who may not have the time or interest to research it truthfully.

Once you dirty somebody's name or faith? It is very difficult to undo and tiresome to try and do so. I don't store alot of this kind of stuff on my computer to spew out at any opportunity either. Nor do I have the time and material to counteract it all. There are experts on doing this kind of stuff and I'd not have a show.

I can only say, once again, go to the source of our beliefs and read there instead. That way, the criticisms will indeed at least be based on the actual source and ones concerns at all, are at least from the "horses mouth". Every practise and aspect is there and the scriptual/traditonal reason for it. Had I not seen and read that? I too would have been an easy target for manipulative slander.

I also do not base my faith on the Judases within my church. They also mispresent it and do much to undermine it. Thankfully we have many who stand up for the fundamentals of our faith, regardless of the hate and scandal. However in the minority we maybe.
