For what it is worth: A persecution complex is regarded by many to be one of the classic signs of a cult!
The article also emphasizes the "persecution" meme of over 180 years, carried forward with no admission that the mormon church is in 2012 a lucrative multi-billion business, with Romney planning to take over the position of the "most powerful man in the world"....some "persecution"!
One thing I will point out, while mormons always capitalize "mormon", they seldom capitalize the pronouns for our Lord and Savior...due to both those dieties in mormon doctrine having once been men, such as we.
dieties=deities
Was Jesus' supposed "anti-Pharisee" positioning "a way for" Jesus to avoid looking at the weaknesses of given sub-cultures amongst the people of Israel?
No.
Jesus looked @ the weaknesses of His Shepherdless people. And frankly wept. But He also directly confronted the legalists of His time, as they were the ones claiming less of a need for such a Savior-Shepherd.
Besides...this Mormon writer ignores the countless anti-Christian statements and peculiar Mormon "scriptures"...
Does he expect such slander/libel of the worldwide Christian church by Lds, Inc. to just go unaddressed?

The left, and anti-Christian cults know who their Christian enemy is. Evangelicals and Protestants should not have to stand alone in this fight.

Of the eight believers who remain in custody, two were transferred first to the Ye county detention center, and the six others followed later. Among them is a woman who has hepatitis. Currently, five believers are in custody in the Ye county detention center and the three others are in the Pingdingshan municipal detention center.

*“Saudi Arabia's highest Islamic legal authority decreed that churches in the region must be destroyed… American teachers in the Middle East were murdered for being Christian or talking about Christianity; churches were banned or bombed, and nuns terrorized by knife-wielding Muslim mobs.”
And this: May 19th, 2012
*Ethiopian man who angered a Muslim co-worker by writing “Jesus is Lord” on a piece of cloth. The co-worker accused him of desecrating the Koran. He was wrongly convicted and spent two years in prison. During that time Muslim’s destroyed his land and his children had disappeared.
mormons are not persecuted, exposure of mormonism is not in any words persecution.
Sorry, J; but you only got the FIRST part right:
Being anti-Mormon has been a way for others to point out the fact that mormonISM is a HERESY.
To point out the flagrant plagiarism that JS made of the KJV of the bible,
To point out the internal discrepancies of MORMONism.
To point out the flagrant plagarism that JS made of Masonic rituals.
I don’t care what people do or do not believe, or how they feel about the Mormon Church.
I do think that attacking the fastest-growing religion in this country is not a very smart move and I hope the Dems do exactly that in their quest for 4 more years of hell -
That, and attacking Bain Capital - both are terrific campaign talking points. Keep it up, Barry.
Meanwhile, we little people will keep clinging to our guns and religion and we will vote your a— out in November. Count on it.
