Kurt Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hello everyone! My name is Kurt and I live in the Salt Lake City area. I have recently spent some time on a website called "ChristianChat", but I have found them to be extremely abusive towards one another when they disagree about doctrine. The amount of animosity and hate displayed on those forums is appalling. Everyone seems to fight one another. What is more, every other day they create a thread along the lines of "NAME THAT CULT" or "LOL MORMONZ ARE MORONZ!"... Oh, and they banned me twice for "not being Christian" when they found out I was LDS. *sigh*... I couldn't stand it anymore and decided it would be best to come to a place where everyone believes practically everything I do! . I found this place via Google. I look forward to making some new friends while I am here and I hope to be a positive impact on this community. Anyways, enough about how I got here and more about who I am: My name is Kurt. I have been trained as an EMT and look forward to becoming a Trauma Surgeon somewhere down the road. I thrive on emergencies and I love helping others. I am attending school at the University of Utah and actively participate in institute at the U of U. On my off-time I enjoy weightlifting and video games. I know, interesting combo of doing nothing and building muscles... I look forward to talking to like-minded people. If you want to chit chat, feel free to shoot me a PM.

pam Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I was going to wave back until I read the part about UofU. The hand went down. :) But welcome to the site anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbdf Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Welcome to the forums, Kurt! Yeah, unfortunately there are a lot of Christian forums where many of the users can get rather abrasive, and even some more ecumenical forums where the users can get abrasive whether they're LDS, other sorts of Christians, or not Christians at all. But this is a fairly calm place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiJolly Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hello everyone! My name is Kurt and I live in the Salt Lake City area.

"It is not for us to say who, in the deepest sense, is or is not close to the spirit of Christ. We do not see into men's hearts. We cannot judge, and are indeed forbidden to judge. It would be wicked arrogance for us to say that a man is, or is not, a Christian in this refined sense." (Mere Christianity, Touchstone, 1996, pp. 10-11.) -- C. S. Lewis My name is Kurt. I have been trained as an EMT and look forward to becoming a Trauma Surgeon somewhere down the road. I thrive on emergencies and I love helping others. I am attending school at the University of Utah and actively participate in institute at the U of U. On my off-time I enjoy weightlifting and video games.

Dr. Dick Price (retired) is the medical advisor to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Last year right before their 2 week tour, he told the Choir "I'm a Trauma specialist, so I'm looking for .357 wounds to the torso, or maybe an encounter with a bus, to catch my interest. Runny noses can deal with themselves." Sounds like fun! HiJolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDSVALLEY Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I was curious about the one mentioned and the topic so I checked it out. In the mentioned thread Some one was daring some one else to admit they were Mormon on it. So I registered in order to reply. They gave me the first email making me a member but I have to wait for a second email after they "review" my request before I am allowed to post! Not sure exactly what they will review since I had posted nothing and it's easy to switch an IP Address so they have nothing to go on except what I told them. It's been 3 days since I registered and no approval has come yet. I said I was Christian and used the same user name I do here. LDSValley. I had tried under lds Canadian, Canadian LDS, LDS Christian, Christian LDS and a couple of others with LDS by itself. It would not accept any of them so I am curious to see if I ever get an email allowing me to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bini Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I must be really naive since I haven't venture to any religious sites or forums, except this one! Anyway, welcome aboard :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
