The idea that their god as a man had sexual relations with Mary in their Heaven to produce their Jesus is totally blasphemous.Absolutely right. I understand that Satan is behind all false religions. What I cant understand, is that since the truth is readily available, why do people leave the truth and go start false religions, like Mormonism? I dont get it. Maybe they think God needs their help in the salvation process. 🤗 I think Mormons are really tough nuts to crack. I think I have met more ex Muslims than ex Mormons.

Mormonism is family. It's the woman/wife that keeps the family together - because - it's the husband that raised the wife from the dead and they're totally freaked out that if they upset their husband or get divorced they'll never be resurrected. When the wife dies and is in her coffin the husband puts a veil over her face and during the resurrection he'll either remove the veil for her to rise from the dead; or not.
I was dating a Mormon guy but when I found out that .... I ran.

I was dating a Mormon guy but when I found out that .... I ran. Good choice. 😁 When I was at Laughlin, I asked out a fellow air traffic controller, a Ssgt, but when I found out she was a Mormon, it killed any desire I had to date her. Too bad, she was a nice lady, as are most Mormons.

By the way, another small thread hijacking, but I was amazed at how many male officers were dating enlisted women. I dont know why, maybe for the prestige. I knew 3 female air traffic controllers, who married instructor pilots. The female Mormon, by then, a Tsgt, ended up marrying a Mormon Msgt. 😁 So, we had to compete, not a not only with other enlisted guys, for the affections of the enlisted women, but the officers as well. 🤪👎

My guy and I were pretty close. Then for grins we went to the local bishop on marriage counseling and after that “stay home with the kids (lots of them) and dropping my career plus a whole lot of rules”, I split post haste. I went to his stake house for services several times and just fell weird during the whole service, served water as the sacrament.

I split post haste. Wise choice. I dont like false religions, and Mormonism is a false religion. Its sad, in a sick kind of way, that some people, involved in false religions, like Mormonism, have a victim mentality, when someone tells them the truth about their cult. Oh, woe is me. People are mocking and persecuting me, cuz I am in a cult. They need to cut me some slack. The truth of the matter is, the cult members (Mormons) are mocking and persecuting true believers. Its ok. I dont care. 🤪🤗

They dont even want to admit what their cult teaches.
For example, teppe never would answer how many Mormon gods exist.
Each time he answered a different question.
