It’s three days to Christmas, 2008. And the Mormon Church-owned Deseret News is at it yet once again:
”In 1844, there were approximately 26,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Yet, when W.W. Phelps penned a song of tribute to his beloved, fallen Prophet, he promised that ‘millions shall know Brother Joseph again’” [My note: The ‘song of tribute’ is an actual praise song directed TO Joseph Smith, ‘Praise to the Man’...for more on this, see Mormon Tabernacle Choir conductor: 'Praise to the Man'...hymn praises Joseph Smith [Smithmas vanity]]
The DesNews article continues:
"...Now known not only to the millions of members of the LDS Church, but also by countless more around the world, Joseph Smith has taken a unique and respected place in American and religious history...An advance copy of the CD was presented to President Thomas S. Monson...He reminisced about serving as a mission president in Toronto, ‘the only area outside his own, where Joseph Smith taught.’ He also noted that he's always appreciated the fact that Joseph Smith was born in the season in which we celebrate the birth of Christ...And at this season, he's happy that our thoughts can be drawn to Joseph Smith. ‘He gave us everything.’"
So the current Mormon "prophet" – three days before Christmas and one day before Joseph Smith's birthday – pronounces that Joseph Smith "gave us everything?"
What does that look like to the average non-Mormon?
Yup, that's right: Merry Smithmas!
There’s so much hate here and I don’t understand why!/s
Hey, here’s an idea for this holiday season of love and joy: How about YOU go to your church and worship as YOU see fit, and let others go to THEIR church and let them worship as THEY see fit.
Merry Christmas, and God Bless America.
How about The Twelve Plates of Smithmas?
Agreed. Why not spend the time and effort exposing crazy muslim beliefs instead of those who share most of our values.
“Why not spend the time and effort exposing crazy muslim beliefs instead of those who share most of our values.”
The response will be that the mormons are working with the muslims.
I don’t believe the Mormon religion is Christian but there are far better ways to evangelize. This kind of garbage only pushes people away from our Savior Jesus.
Merry Christmas, Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men to Colornian and the other Mormon haters here on FR
Hey, here's an idea for this CHRISTMAS season of love and joy: How about YOU go to your thread and express as YOU see fit, and let others go to THEIR thread and let them express as THEY see fit. Merry Christmas, and, indeed, God Bless America.
There. Now how would you like somebody trying to curtail your First Amendment expressions on whatever thread you so desire?
Unhealthy obsession, I’d say, an obsessive compulsion to post the same thing over and over. . .while only changing the title of the thread.
People who repeatedly object to Muslim tactics & doctrine aren't "Muslim haters."
And people who object to the homosexual agenda aren't "homosexual haters."
(Sounds to me like you've bought into too much of the liberal MSM spin on things)
But hey, I know...some people aren't "detail oriented"...especially this time of the year.
No, the vast majority of people just wont waste their precious time to read through the hate filled drivel which has been cut-n-pasted like all the other free speech you spout.
See tag line...
“I don’t believe the Mormon religion is Christian but there are far better ways to evangelize. This kind of garbage only pushes people away from our Savior Jesus.”
This is simply an opinion that ignores Scripture
Wild Bill for America says the same in this video commentary.

Did you notice that those who responded to me didn’t notice the sarcasm tag? LOL!
And a Merry Shizmas to you, too.

How so?
I included the how so in post 15 - the opinion you posted ignores the plain words and example in Scripture. This means the opinion you posted is based on less than the whole truth of God’s revelation - making it a mere caricature, a distortion of truth, a falsehood.
