It's where they keep the best Scotch.
We enjoyed it thoroughly although this old man likes to hit the sack a bit earlier than 1:00am.
I love that region. We had Shrimp and Grits in Apex NC on Friday night and then I made Danish dinner for daughter and all her friends on Christmas eve.
LOL, no. Didn’t know about the underwear when I joined.
That's something I don't get. If you're going to recruit comely young women, why put them into something that a coal miner might wear, instead of something that you'd see on the beach in Rio?
To ensure ‘modesty’, lol.
Cut the marks out and use them to polish your car. There is utility in everything. Matter of fact in my dresser drawer in SLC there are at least twenty examples dating from 1960-1978. My mother died that year (1978) and they stopped coming as my speshul Christmas present.
I just use them on Halloween when I go out as the Holy Ghost.
It's not bazillions, but it's quite a few. The ironic thing is that some of this groups splintered off before Joseph Smith bragged that he had been more successful at keeping a church together than any other man, including Jesus.
The sadly ironic thing is that the last three, now-thought-to-be-defunct groups on this list are African sects started by blacks who were baptized by LDS missionaries then told that they could never be exalted, nor enter the Celestial Kingdom, nor be gods over their own planets, because they were Negroid. Nice to baptize you; that's the breaks. So they started their own sects of the Mormon church in which these racial restrictions on them were removed. NOW THAT'S an interesting part of Mormon history you won't see on an "I'm a Mormon" commercial.

My comely young bride is 44 and looks absolutely wonderful in a very few strategically placed strings and wisps (and even better out of them!!!). No coal miner's duds for her.
If that is how they want to wrap their women (and themselves up), why this is really no better than the Muslim laundry bag over the head.
Pictures, or it didn't happen!!! :)
Sorry but my imagery would get me banned for the rest of history. The best I can do is to mount material from the picnic which I will do by request. If you come to SLC, I will sell you all the leftover garment car polishing material for a few thousand dollars. Please be serious though as I deal in antique crap which is really very rare.
Art dealer you know!
And you can use the Book of Mormon for toilet Paper. Waste not want not.

Too scratchy. But garmies for car cloths isn’t a bad idea.
It is a very attractive proposition. If you throw in a set of peepstones or a seeing hat, I might consider it.
I just use them on Halloween when I go out as the Holy Ghost.

ROFL. Worth a repost, just for the visual. Thanks Binger. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
This is NOT anti-Mormonism. This is an example of anti-Mormon bigotry that many say does not exist on this site.
With management sowing (as opposed to simply allowing) anti-Mormon posts I will have to bid FreeRepublic farewell
I have asked Jim Robinson to ban/suspended/deactivate/excommunicate...Whatever it takes to leave this site.
The ex-Mormons on this thread can appreciate why my request to leave FreeRepublic should not be made difficult right?
I make this decision with a heavy heart.
I love America. I love Freedom. I love my family and neighbors, but most of all I love Jesus Christ. He is my Savior and King.
Take care and God Bless.

Then why are you LDS? That isn’t what your church teaches.
I’m sorry to see you go, but it is a misguided untruth for you to claim that the management sows ‘anti-mormon’ behavior.
I have many personal examples as do several other ex-mo’s and never mo’s of LDS lying.
No, you would rather opus out and frankly that is sad.
Courtesy ping to JR
Sad that...
As far as anti-Mormon/Mormonism, it is a fine line since it is a proven fact that the LDS encourages lying and there are those”operator” types in the LDS who keep the lies going for the masses knowing there is not a shred of truth in them. When there are those who practice to deceive by design and purpose they cease to be individuals and are mechanism of the movement itself.
Exactly. Forked tounged devils. Lying is not Christian. Deception is lying and the Mormons lie knowingly. [CodeToad]

Why not stick around at least for the duration of this thread, GMR? If you want to still jump the FR ship and go FR AWOL in '12; hey, it's a Free Republic.
At least be "poster enough" to explain yourself.
Otherwise, we have to speak for you. And I am left, therefore, to conclude that you seemed to be...
(a) ...suddenly bothered by a FREEPER's (CodeToad's) specific accusation;
(b) ...and most bothered that JR isn't censored according to your controlling tastes.
Those are really sad reasons to fall on your FREEPER sword, GMR.
Why?
#1...what CodeToad mentions seems to be somehow presented by you as "new" and "sudden" to 2011 FR threads. Here's a headline for you, GMR: "It's NOT!" Here, allow me to "educate" you:
* LDS Leaders, Their Ethics and Lying for the Lord
* Mormon Profits and Lying
* Mormon Lying
* Talk About Dishonest...[Mormon]
* Mormon Professors Confuse Doctrine and Rumor
* Mitt Romney's Lying Problem
Tell us, GMR, why didn't you fall on your sword on any of these above threads if these comments are supposedly so provocative to you? I mean, here we had entire themed threads on this subject -- vs. just a few comments.
You didn't. So it comes across to us that you are feigning overprovocation re: CodeToad's comment...Which, in turn, seemingly means that what really strikes at your Mormon craw is that you haven't been able to censor JR.
That's where the rubber hits the road here, isn't it? That Jim Robinson is a...
...free man...
...living in a Free Republic...
...unlike the Mormon "kingdom" where a man can't speak so freely.
Since I'm not sure if you'll further respond, it's at this point I take out my Glenn Beck-like "chalkboard" and provide all you FREEPERS with a lesson about Mormons that GMR and other Mormons have provided for us in 2011:
You see, Mormonism is all about "control."
Since GMR can't "control" Jim Robinson's keyboard,
he is picking up his Christmas toys
(which he earned and merited conditionally)
And he's either...
...sulkily slipping away into the night...
...Or storming off in a quiet rage...
...Or (fill in the blank)
Now, if you would, look @ my "chalkboard" screen to observe these 2011 posting patterns re: Mormonism...Click on these live links if you want to learn why Mormonism is so into "control."
Three areas of this coveting of control revealed itself over 2011...Mormons' desire to control...
...designations...
...content...
...perceptions...
Now, granted, Mormons aren't alone on this. The whole Marketing premise is that corporations can control your perceptions about their image. Yes, some marketers are more humble and realize they can only influence -- vs. control -- their image...but those marketers are becoming fewer in number and prestige.
But you see, the very hierarchical men who run Lds, Inc. are businessmen. Many of whom think exactly like marketers.
Now, what evidence that posted itself in 2011 undergirds these Mormon patterns?
#1 Mormon Sought-After Control of Designations:
* The Only True and Living Church [Mormon] (127 replies around the discussion that the Mormon Church wants to bill itself as "The Only True and Living Church"...I suppose knowing this, all the other Non-Mormon people should just pick up their toys and storm off when they find Lds people who believe D&C 1:30, eh GMR?)
* Mormon Official Equates Christianity with “a false cult” (124 replies around the discussion it's "A-OK" for Mormons to label Christians a "cult" -- but not vice-versa)
* Strains Within the Mormon Subculture. (Attitude of Superiority) (discussion around how Mormons are too elitist to have to put up with Gentile-ism)
#2 Mormon Sought-After Control of Content:
* Should one limit consideration of “Mormonism” to what minimalists deem “official” and “binding”? (144 replies around the discussion that Mormons consider it "unfair" for you to be "nosing around" in what their leaders have said outside of what they want to hand-feed you with...almost as if we're guilty of peaking inside Christmas gifts designated only for them)
* Wiki Wars: In battle to define beliefs, Mormons and foes wage battle on Wikipedia (discussion how Mormons want to patronize you as babes only in need of "milk" -- not Mormon meat)
And finally, #3 Mormon Sought-After Control of Perceptions:
* Journalists urged to allow Mormons to define themselves (164 replies on a thread started by a Mormon, Saundra Duffy, where an Lds, Inc. PR person labels the five things he has trouble controlling the most...that people think of Mormons as a "cult"; that they are not "Christians"; that they are weird, secretive, and still embrace eternal polygamy.
* Perceptions of Mormonism (Imagine that...a discussion around the obvious reality that Mormons apparently don't like...that, yes, Virginia, people really do have perceptions about MormonISM!
Yet Open Mormon bigotry of the Christian church -- claims that we Christians -- including Jim Robinson, Reaganaut, etc. -- are...
...spiritually unfaithful ("apostates"),
...members of the church of the devil,
...who are "corrupt"...
...& who believe creeds that are 100% putrid...
...is to not only be allowed but sowed by your 10% tithing to Lds, Inc.
Why. How "nice" it is to be so "consistent." Eh, GMR?
ALL: Let's say, for a moment, that a new church sprung up. Let's call it Grey Mountain New Church.
Let's say...
...they added "Revelation 23" to their Bible.
...and some unnamed entities appeared unto their leader, and he reported as part of "Revelation 23":
My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.I was answered that I must join NONE of them, for they were ALL wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that ALL their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were ALL corrupt; [NOTE: This, in fact, is literal "Mormon scripture" -- Joseph Smith 1, vv. 18-19 in the Pearl of Great Price]
Furthermore, let's say the leader of this "newbie church" claimed he was lay[ing] the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth [this is in fact "Mormon scripture" -- Doctrine & Covenants 1:30]
Furthermore, let's say the leader of this "newbie church" claimed that this "Only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" was the "church of the Lamb of God" -- and he translated an ancient document which said:
"Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth." [this is in face "Mormon scripture" - 1 Nephi 14:10 from the Book of Mormon]
Now let's say that this church grew to 14 million around the world -- and that about 5-6 of million of them tithed to spread the above message into over 100 different languages.
Fact: Mormon "scriptures" bash Christians 24/7 in all kinds of languages every hour of every day. Yet not a complaint from you, GMR. Why not?
Unlike GreyMountainReagan, who accuses (labels of "bigotry"), yet provides no evidence...I'll provide evidence:
I have the Lds Church published Topical Guide of the Bible (1979). When you look under "Apostasy of the Early Christian Church" -- p. 13 -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints lists 1 Nephi 13:26 of the Book of Mormon as applicable to our history: ...thou seest the formation of a great and abominable church, which is most abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away.
So. They accuse our spiritual forefathers of being...
..."a great and abominable church"
...It's supposedly "most abominable above all other churches"
...And that we removed most of the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
...and finally, removed covenants as well.
ALL: The lesson that GreyMountainReagan, the Mormon, wants you to know is that it's "A-OK" for these kinds of accusations about Christians to be plastered around the globe by 52,000 missionaries and 24/7 Lds.org and Lds books & curricula...but, if a few FREEPERS dare to make a perceived overly negative comment about Mormons, the thin skin is bared and it's time for the Mormon toys to go home.
BTW...that same 1979 Topical Guide of the Bible published by the Mormon Church...check out p. 101 under the entry of "Devil, Church of"...When we see Book of Mormon verses listed like 1 Nephi 13:6, 32 and 14:9-10...it leaves absolutely no doubt that "true believing Mormons" -- including some FREEPERS -- deem us Christians as part of the "Church of the devil."
The LDS church proclaims to be the "one true church" (see Doctrines & Covenants 1:30 coupled with Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 14:9-10); in fact, theologically, according to this latter passage Mormons only recognize two churches -- the true one and the Satanic counterfeit. (Guess who LDS label as the true "Lamb of God" church and who by default thereby falls under the broad Satanic umbrella?)
So, GreyMountainReagan apparently has no qualms with concluding that we are...
...Satanic...
...corrupt...
...spiritually unfaithful...
...Heart wanderers...
...Creedally abominable...
...But mention the word "lying" around him in conjunction with Mormons, and his dander and dithers become tizzified.
