This is a continuation of the thread "Exmormon former bishop arrested for "harassing general authority."
By the way, what's your definition of accosting, "Lawyer"? The purpose of a temple open house is to open the place up to the public for viewing, and the religion to questions. Outside the new Carmel temple was a nice area set up for potential converts to ask missionaries questions. The mormon church continues to throw their young people out into the world to face the public's questions. Why can't a church leader take a question from an exmormon during a time of media questioning? Why can't Baker remind a church leader who committed in front of the media to taking his questions, of his commitment to do so? They put the young missionaries out there because that's what cults have found works. The young don't know the cult realities and don't realize they're not telling the truth when they "teach" potential new recruits. In all their exuberant idealism, they make for clean-cut convincing witnesses of mormonism's truth claims. Stephen Hassan is known as "America's Leading Exit-Counselor." A former Moonie who later trained as a counseling psychologist, he's made a valuable contribution in furthering understanding about cults. I couldn't find a single cult method described in his book Combatting Cult Mind Control, not employed consciously, or maybe at times, subconsciously, by the mormon church.
