I have only been an N.C. Baptist for about three years. I read the Biblical Recorder as soon as it comes. I realize N.C. Baptists are a very fractured group and it is difficult to report on all the issues but the "Tar Heel Voices" of the April 26 (printed) issue left me quite puzzled.

Does Nancy Curtis really believe that Baptist churches can't do without what the WMU offers? Does she really believe "no one does it better?" Did she really say, "If not WMU, who? There isn't anybody?" Are you kidding me?

These gentlemen are like every other Mormon I've met ... deceptive. They use some of the same words Christians use, like God and Jesus Christ, but they do not believe in the Biblical God and Christ.

For several weeks, I have resisted the urge to reply to "Wants a Refund." I was a bit angry when I read his request. Having asked forgiveness and resolved my anger, I have a request of my own: send it to him!

Unless you have been an active Mormon for an extended period, and unless you understand their doctrine inside and out, you're probably doing more harm than good by trying to tell them what their beliefs are.

I recognize the title of this article is different, but it is also very recognizable to certain people in our culture who communicate by texting. Technology has made nomads of us all. With the advent of e-mail, cell phones, blackberrys, and GPS systems, we are virtually "in touch" most all the time. This fact caused The Economist magazine to recently write that we should be prepared to see "less of our office, more of our family, and still be unhappy."
