When you gonna get a dog so HE can fight here?

[Elsie]

I don’t appreciate the “tease” just to get someone to read the article.

WE're not teasing!

There ARE 51,998 more just like US; waiting to pound on your front door!

[Elsie]

This is an affront to Christians,especially in this time of Lent. ALL of the time! --->

"With one striking exception, the LDS Church's leaders and members are, and always have been, flawed people."

Let's HEAR it for the ONE!!

I'm sorry. Here are the words...

---

1. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus anointed “that Prophet and Seer”—
Blessed to open the last dispensation;
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

(chorus)
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain;
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

2. Praise to his mem’ry, he died as a martyr,
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins;
Stain Illinois, while the earth lauds his fame.

(chorus)
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain;
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

3. Great is his glory, and endless his Priesthood,
Ever and ever the keys he will hold;
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the Prophets of old.

(chorus)
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain;
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

4. Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man;
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice;
Millions shall know “brother Joseph” again.

(chorus)
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain;
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

[Jesus was a Mormon!]

I once heard someone say that Jesus was an Alien. This is no less ridiculous.

Its ok.

[svcw]

How are the Jesus of the Bible and the jesus of the BoM the same?
The Jesus of the Bible is Eternal, the jesus of the BoM is created.
The Jesus of the Bible is Eternal the jesus of the BoM earned his way to some god status, which means he was once not perfect but worked really hard and became perfect.

Jude 1:9

9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

Elsie, I have a question.

Why did the archangel Michael want to dispute Satan over the body of Moses?

Was it to prevent Satan from making Moses into an object of worship?

And if that's the case, shouldn't Mormons stop worshiping Joseph Smith?

[svcw]

Good points. And lds will never stop worshiping JS. They will tell you they do not, its just all those pesky hymns to JS that get in the way of that assertion.

[MHGinTN]

As the demons dragged Bring’um Young into Hell, he thought he could cry out to Joe Smith to be saved. Alas, ol’ Joe was below him watching the descent.

[dragonblustar]

I know the Mormons are in denial about Joseph Smith worship but they can't deny the countless statues, paintings, death mask, coloring books and one putt-putt golf statue sphinx all dedicated to the Peep Stone Prophet.

That's idol worship, it's creepy and its Mormonism.

Some people just don’t understand brackets I guess.

[T Minus Four]

Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!

Wait, he "ascended into heaven"? Like Jesus did? I thought he was shot in a jail breakout.

[T Minus Four]

Notice the little dark-skinned people cowering in his shadow.
