I suppose you could quote a thousand pastors saying something that is not politically correct by today’s standards and use that against some denomination. This is what was done here. You may have your fun quoting from the 19th century to your heart’s content.

You know lying and deceit really doesn't help your cause any:

“Man can transform himself and he must. Man has in himself the seeds of godhood, which can germinate and grow and develop. As the acorn becomes the oak, the mortal man becomes a god. It is within his power to lift himself by his very bootstraps from the plane on which he finds himself to the plane on which he should be. It may be a long, hard lift with many obstacles, but it is a real possibility” (From Doctrines of the Gospel, Student Manual: Religion 430, 431. c2004 citing President Spencer Kimball, "The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball", p. 28)

I believe a 2004 copyrighted date is NOT the 19th century. (cough, cough, ahem).

As to your assertion in a later post that "we allow all people to worship as they see fit" is another outright lie that does not aid your cause. If that statement were in fact true rather than a deliberate misdirection -- you wouldn't be sending out missionaries now would you? Hint: Missionary trips are trips that seek to change how other people worship and conform them to the LDS. And no you're not beheading anyone, but then again those hateful bigots the anti-mormons aren't beheading anyone either!

Where is the compulsion in sending missionaries? You mean you can’t say no? We make people say yes? Really. That is incredible. I don’t remember people saying no????? People say no to me all the time. So, I don’t let people worship how they see fit? What exactly do I do to prevent them going on their way after they say no? My Baptist friends want me to join them and they give me tracts and I say no. Are they somehow sinning by trying to impart their version of truth to me? I already admitted if the quotes were properly documented that the men said them and so? We have doctrinal differences. Duh. What else is new? You should really begin developing tomorrow’s quotations as there are thousands waiting on these Mormon threads.
