What this boils down to is religious bigotry looking for a cloak to dress up as legitimate opposition.

MORMONism is religious plagerism dressing up a in a cloak as the on ly true CHRISTIANITY.

Perhaps you think that allowing people to follow the dictates of their own conscience means not speaking out when you disagree with them. If that is so, then by that standard YOU don’t believe in allowing others the privilege of worshipping God according to the dictates of their own conscience.

Mighty small foundation words to build your strawman upon.

5 Do you live the law of chastity?

Umm, I've got six children.

Do you wear the garment both night and day as instructed in the endowment and in accordance with the covenant you made in the temple?

I believe in air conditioned wedding tackle.

What part of “and allow all men the same privilege” is unclear to you?

"Yes Maam; you CAN go on worshipping the way you want; but it'll be wrong."

Your own actions and false accusations prove it for me.

One more accusaction without PROOF and YOU'll be held in contempt of court; young man!

I call people liars when they knowingly spread lies, I call them bigots when they display bigotry, I call them haters when they show hatred.

And I call you a mere accuser if you fail to show any evidence of what you so boldly claim.

Wanna prove me wrong?

LOLOL. What actions, what FALSE accusations?!?! C’mon show me. Prove it. I can back up everything I state about LDS teachings and history.

Can you back up your false accusations against me?

Grig, you do realize if we were bigots, we would hate Mormons (the people) just because they were Mormon. That just isn’t true. I have several LDS friends, SVCW has LDS family she loves, SZ has an LDS wife.

We hate Mormonism because of what it does to the individual Mormons, we don’t hate them, we love them enough to try to get them to see the truth about a church that lies to its own members.

That isn’t bigotry at all.

Reaganaut, in your experience, am I telling the truth here?

- - - -
Yes you are. These tactics became one of the red flags for Mormonism for me. If we had the truth, then we had nothing to hide, if we had the truth than it would withstand any scrutiny, if we had the truth we would be able to effectively and easily counter the antis rather than resort to name calling and accusing them of lying.

These tactics by the LDS helped me see the emperor had no clothes.

Sorry, does that violate Mormon edicts?

- - - - -
Not for you, Mark. Since you are a member of the ‘whore of babylon’ (LDS term) you are not expected to live the ‘higher law’ of the Word of Wisdom.

However, eating meat except in times of famine or winter is a violation of the WoW for the LDS, part of it that most LDS don’t follow.

As do I, but the difference is I provide PROOF, not just name calling.

So again, I asking for documentation that I have done or am any of the above.

BTW, Christians don’t lie about their beliefs, or obfuscate or dissemble. The LDS do (and I can document that as well).

I wouldn’t call sharing the gospel with somebody a denial of their right to follow their conscience. Nobody is forced to listen, nobody is forced to read the BoM, nobody is forced to pray about it, nobody is forced to join us. But you admit that you send missionaries to non-Christians, so by your own standard you are saying that you don’t consider non-Christians worthy of the right to follow their conscience.

- - - - - -
And no one is forcing the LDS to leave. We just believe in full disclosure. Christians are targets of the LDS missionaries, especially Christians who don’t know their bible very well.

Strawman. Non-Christians (and even the LDS) can follow their own conscience, we are here to tell them there is a better way and only one way to Heaven. Christians are called to evangelize and the focus of that is CHRIST, not a denomination. The issue is the LDS don’t usually go to non-Christians, they go after Christians. No Christian church would do that especially to convert say, Baptists to Assemblies of God.

So, before you get all high and mighty about your 11th AOF, look at the policies of your own church.

How about actually debating your faith and responding rather than name calling? That would be a refreshing change from the LDS on here.
