“You sound like one of those conspiracy theory nuts. If you seriously think mormons are worshipping millions of gods, you are an idiot.”
Take a deep breath, and a step backwards. Now, start over
and actually read what I wrote.
I never said they “worship millions of gods”. I said that
mormonism (not mormons) “have” billions or even trillions
of gods.
And, FRiend, what I wrote is a fact.
I am pinging a mormon friend of mine, colorcountry,
to give you her take, having been born into mormonism.
CC, take it away...
best,
ampu
“When in fact you should have said:
“Every mormon MAN can potentially become a god with his own planet and a perpetually pregnant goddess WIVES to produce endless “spirit children”.
Thank you for correcting me. I hadn’t thought of celestial
polygamy when I wrote that post.
best,
ampu
Thank goodness you posted that. I’d lost my “clarifying document” somewhere and had forgotten my way back to planet Kolob.
She’s just trying her best to stick to the script ...
the Bible says in the latter days seven women will hold onto one man and be called by his name?

I think this is because there will be more Godly woman then of Godly men.
Freemasons -— a fraternity -— has no place on that link.
Smith, et al, were, indeed, members of the fraternity, and did, indeed, co-opt the handshakes, etc, and turn it into their “temple” practice -— in violation of their fraternal oaths -— turning the fraternity into a gnostic religion.
To this day, freemason fraternity is tarnished by people who think it is a religion because of those idiots.
OK, I’ll bite.
They are....?
1. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior
2.Be under the age of accountability.
OK. I understand.
It almost seemed like the start of a Baptist joke of some kind but I wasn’t sure.
No, the Roman Catholic Church didn't fabricate anything about the Atonement in a garden.
Instead, they made up their own rules about....
an infallible Deified Pope as head of the Church?
And about Purgatory? Where is THAT found in the Bible.... and which verse in Scripture tells us who is supposed to go there and for how long?
Furthermore, which book in the New Testament tells us to pray with Rosary Beads?
Where in the New or Old Testament does it say to worship or pray to the Virgin Mary, or any Saints for that matter?
Did Jesus tell his followers to say repeated Hail Mary prayers? And didn't Jesus admonish his followers NOT to conduct “repeated” prayers like the “gentile unbelievers”
Which Bible verse explains the process of being Cannonized? Where in the Bible did it OK torturing nonbelievers in order to get them to convert to Christianity, like occurred repeatedly in the Middle Ages.
And how many Saints are too many Saints? And which Bible verse sets the rules for becoming a Saint?
What about the statues which the Catholic Church has reportedly verified bleeds real blood or tears?
And doesn’t the Bible strictly forbid worshiping statues?
Where in the Bible does it authorize the use of Holy Water?
Why do Priests have to be Celibate?
Why are we only supposed to confess our sins to a virginal male Priest in a Confession Booth?
What about eating fish on Friday, and why is eating meat on Friday a sin?
================================
Please don't get me wrong. I truly love my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ.
I married a Catholic, and greatly love and admire the Pope and everything Catholic.
I even attend Mass frequently with my best friend, and he occasionally comes to my Protestant church.
But to an outsider, the quirky things in the Catholic church are no different than the quirky things in the Mormon Church.
Seven to eight years ago.
That would be 2000-2001.
Some 3-4 years before you signed up?
And you know so much about what went on 3-4 years before your sign up date, eh?
That’s interesting........
I said :
rev911: they didnt fabricate thier own scripture which is a cornerstone of the mormon faith, nor do they practice celestial marriage / sealing, baptism for the dead, or claim the Atonement of Christ occurred in the garden instead of the Cross, claim God lives on planet kolob - etc etc - all things mormons presently do
If you are going to insert words into my quote by adding "(Catholic)" please be more careful and indicate that fact.
-youve not addressed the issues I raised and have instead brought another issue into the discussion.
I lurked here for some time, and haven’t been around much of late.
But if you read my about me page you will notice that I posted over 50 artilces from my reading the 12,000 pages of the FBI files on John Kerry and the VVAW and posted them on this site.
I also sent them to the news media to no avail.
So I signed up in July of 2004, and was a lurker for about a year, sue me, it is no big deal.
The point is what I post, and I am no Socialist.
OK, so you lurked for a year before you signed up. That still leaves a 2-3 year difference in which you claim to have knowledge about FR's goings on.
IOW, you claim to know about what went on 2-3 years before you even started lurking on FR.
How would that be?
I never said you were a socialist. Why are you putting words in my mouth?
You didn't.
My point is that all religions have things they do which aren't necessarily straight out of the Bible.
Traditions. Customs. Additions to the Scriptures.
And members of each particular religion are certain that their particular way is the "Truth"....
I know I do.
My only point being that if you want to slam on the Mormon Church, why don't you be an equal opportunity slammer and go after the big one.
Why pick on the puny ol' Mormon Church when you have a billion or so Catholics out there worldwide.
This is a moron conversation.
My statement was about when I first was here and from there. That I didn’t memorize my signup date isn’t that important.
So what, that doesn’t invalidate what I ask or post.
Are of the people you are pining in some kind of cult?
I didn’t memorize mine either but I do know what year I signed up in.
So you lurked since about July of 2003 and claim to have knowledge of what happened in 2000-2001.
Curiouser and curiouser....
I guessed at when I started here, and I was incorrect. And the reason I stayed away for a while is I became tired of whining RINO’s wanting to rant on about stutpid crap.
Like when I signed up.
Catholics don't regard the Pope as a deity. How about Mormons? Did Joseph Smith make it to godhood?
"And about Purgatory?"
Please take a number.
"pray with Rosary Beads?"
A tool to aid memory, nothing more.
"worship or pray to the Virgin Mary, or any Saints for that matter?"
Catholics don't worship Mary or saints. Intercessory prayer can be glimpsed in 2 Maccabees 12:40-46, but that's prayer to God for the dead.
"NOT to conduct “repeated” prayers"
He also talks about the persistent widow. Luke 18:1-5
...
And on and on. Your questions have answers.
Where is planet Kolob?
