Its your opinion that Mormonism has gigantic and gaping falsehoods. Expressing your opinion is what FR is all about. But for ChurtleDawg to come on and alledgedly pretend he has no idea what Mormonism is all about appears to be a strategic manuever to get some additional bashing in. This disingenuous tactic is typical of carpet bombers on Mormon threads.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
using words such as “appear” and “alledgedly” is not making it personal.
Unless you’re attempting to read my mind. If that’s the case maybe you should suspend yourself for 3 days. :-)
While I expect the Mormon bashing, I am really curious what the actual story in the book of Mormon is. From what I have heard, it sounds very bizarre, but no one explains who the Nephites and the Lamenites are.
Basically, I am trying to discern what actual Mormonism is.
On the other post, I would love to suspend myself for three days, I could use a break. LOL!
It is considered good FR form to ping me to a post which quotes what I say.
Especially when you label that post as stealthy, entrapment, etc.
On many things, yes, it is my opinion, along with that of many others.
On many other things though, it is concrete fact that what Joseph Smith and the mormon church teach is flat out false.
DNA and the Rosetta Stone to name two things that have proven Smith and the Mormon Church wrong on many a thing.
Recommendation: drink massive amounts of coffee and/or tea during Step 2; you'll need it to stay awake.
LOL!
So it is ... ping.
Thank you for keeping an open mind .

In your opinion its a concrete fact. Millions of Mormons do not share in that opinion.
DNA and the Rosetta Stone to name two things that have proven Smith and the Mormon Church wrong on many a thing.
Proven to your satisfaction. Not to the satisfaction of millions of Mormons.
Belated thanks, I guess.
Talk to a Mormon
Talk to an ex-Mormon
The truth is somewhere in-between.
Ya but "unproven" allegation which means there yet exists some ambiguity.
Yeah, yesterday was the 18th anniversary of my marriage to my sweet wife. I for one, know she is the smarter of the pair. As far as lecherous behavior on my part, well, she’s the only woman I have ever been with, ever, and we waited till we were married. I have 4 beautiful kids, and one more on the way, so if it’s a lecherous label they want to paint me with, it would have to be just with her. :-0
Quick, get the hose.
Polygamous men tended to die early. It wasn’t the sex that killed them. It was working yourself to death to support the families. A lot of the men had 9-10 kids and THEN went on their 2 year mission.
It was a very hard life. The reason they had so many wives was more tied to the Principle which demanded that men have at least 3 wives. Divorce was not uncommon. And remember, people didn’t bathe regular then.
