I’m bigot? Why are you member of a organization that kept blacks from joining until 1979?
___________________________________________
That was 1978 that the mormons were told by their mormon god to let black MEN join...
Still in 30 years there never has been a black man in high office...
and the only Native American who reached the Warrant Officer level was gotten rid of early...
Yes the mormon top echolons are still “white and delightsome” in 2010
In the 19802 Mormon kids told my Christian children that they were going to Hell because they were not mormons...
What matters to me as a Roman Catholic is the state of my own soul. What matters to me as a Roman Catholic is to love my brother as myself. What matters to me as a Roman Catholic is to engage with others with the humility that our Lord Jesus Christ has asked of us.
Does not feel too great to hear that as a child does it? So why don’t we all stop it?
I hope so.
In the 1980s Mormon kids would stand at the fence dividing our church fr54om the nmormon ward house and yell at my Christian children that they were going to Hell because they were not mormons...
The children were egged on by the mormon adults who used to laugh and taunt my little 3 year old girl when she would cry ...
Unfortunately that was the only way to get from the parking lot to the door...
When our pastor spoke to the mormon officials, he was mocked and maligned...
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -- John Adams, October 11, 1798
I am sorry for your trials at the hands of morons.
I too have the scars of protestant children belittling our faith and my own mother whom they called a whore because she walked up to the corner every day dressed to go to work in town and took the bus.... of course this was in between our prayers and worship to Cleopatra.
There is much ignorance in the world and I think we are truly called to battle it with acceptance and love for our brothers and sisters. Even if they are not “saved” in our eyes.
Do you truly believe that Beck staged his gathering to destroy Christianity?

Nothing will ever destroy Christianity...
Jesus built His church and said that NOTHING would ever prevail against her...Matthew 16:18
and NOTHING ever has...
Moslems, Mormons, Heavens Gate, Jim Jones, David Karesh...
None of them got rid of Christianity and replaced what the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible built...
Although they all tried...and badly failed..
Nobody can fight God and win...
Not Lucifer, not Mohammad, not Joey Smith...

Be of good courage..
No. I actually believe he loves this country (unlike the pretender-in-chief). I don’t think his movement has anything to do with turning everyone into a Mormon. I do believe he would like to see the next generation taught American history and American values. Love of God is a great part of it. Respect for all as to freedom of religion is also a part of it.
Yes they are... Jesus accepted the sinner and the saint. God created us all. Who are you to judge this? I do believe it is in the hands of someone much greater than you.
You read me...
Yep, I've felt that also. Unshakeably so.
“I actually believe he loves this country”
Ive heard nothing to the contrary..
“I don’t think his movement has anything to do with turning everyone into a Mormon. “
That neither of us knows... The mormon missionaries are taught not to give people all the facts...”no meat, just milk”...However “every mormon a missionary” is an actual mormon teaching...Plus the big AD push for the new and improved image... the repackaged mormon...Beck makes a good front man...
“I do believe he would like to see the next generation taught American history “
Except hes been teaching Revisionist American History to this one... Mormon apologist Cleon Skousen’s 5,000 year Leap is not true American history... No Jews came here from Jerusalem and became the American Indians as Beck said on Saturday...
“Love of God is a great part of it.”
SIGH.. but which “god” ???
“Respect for all as to freedom of religion is also a part of it.”
Fine...but I wonder how many of the Christians who showed up knew that was Becks intention ???
I wonder how many Jews that showed up were told ahead of time that a Moslem Imam was going to have center stage ???
Did beck deliberately lie to the attendees before saturday ???
Or was he so carried away by his excitement over the coming event that he failed to see that not everyone would vbe as enthused as he about “Respect for all as to freedom of religion” to the point of having to listen to Moslem Imams ???
Whether or not the Imam ever said one word, the authority and validation that Beck gave Islam by having the guy there on the stage with him in the place of high “honor” above the crowd and above Christian pastors down in the reflecting pool area, cannot be ignored..
Thats how the Imam would have seen the situation...
Did he even mention ahead of time that his intented program included that possibility ???
My Step-Dad went to an LDS funeral several years ago and said he’d never heard a better Salvation sermon than the one preached at that funeral.
I believe some meet the Biblical criteria for a salavation relationship with Jesus.
That doesn’t change the occult horrific origins of their founding documents and charlatans.
Yes, I went to a Christian funeral once where we were instructed to pray and ask the angels to come down and take “our sister’s” soul back to Heaven with them...
We werent family and we were sitting politely at the back...
When my children started to say “WHAT ???” I shushed them and whispered not to pray that and we’d talk later...
Even at 5 and 10 they knew that the dead womans spirit had already gone elsewhere...
They were indignant to say the least...
Right then I prayed that one day I would get to preach a funeral and about 4 years later I was asked to...
I gave an alter call at the funeral home and another one at the grave site...
Funerals are always good places for a harvest...
That day was no different...
