"I get a kick out of the negative Nellies around here. Keep on keeping on, man. If this totally unknown-to-you stranger can help you out at all, I would love to. Fat chance, I know, so count me in as one of the cheerleaders on the sidelines!"

When I put together the 95 LDS Theses earlier this year, I quickly found fierce criticism, even on the exmo side. Haters gonna hate, Tom! I respect you for trying to do SOMETHING. There are hundreds who will complain and moan and criticize. It takes courage to do SOMETHING.
Will your surprise take down the church? Probably not... you've said that yourself. But let it be "another testament" against them. One prick is just an annoyance. Ten thousand pricks can be fatal. Thank you for your work and forget the naysayers.
