Couldn't let Grig get away unscathed for the kind of accusations several of his fellow mormons were zotted for.

The Boss is fair with this call.

[reaganaut]

Meh, most LDS have to lie anyway to get a TR...

[Elsie]

That, BTW, is an intersting piece of history.

JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?

JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?

JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?

JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!

JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.

JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!

JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.

JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.

JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?

JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)

JESUS: That's it.

JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.

JESUS: Nah - it was right.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.

JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.

JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!

JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?

JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....

JESUS: What did you say?

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.

JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.

JESUS: No...

JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?

JESUS: Nope.

JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!

JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.

JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.

JESUS: No; it wasn't.

JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?

JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?

JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.

JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.

JOSEPH SMITH: But....

[Elsie]

...that mentality seems to be on display among some Evangelicals.

NOW you've done it!

Them frackin' hateful BIGOTs will use that against US!

--MormonDude(posting things about SOME MORMONs!!)

[Elsie]

If you want to exaggerate your grievance by falsely saying we hold the rest Christianity as 100% wrong when we see a lot of common ground, you can do that to, but it makes you look dishonest.

Oh Grig; I just HATE when that happens!

Take a look at many of the posts here, non-Mormon poster after non-Mormon poster saying how sick they are of the kind of crap you are pulling right here.

They HAVE?

I thought they were talking about you MORMONs; with all your bombast and puffery on display.

[Elsie]

Mormons all count as Christian groups...

That is true.

But the MORMON 'christ' is a false one; made up from demonic suggestions.

[presently no screen name]

I've tried saying this before but unfortunately, some care more about theological differences

theological differences?? LOL! Your attempt at minimizing a cult is so telling and wishy washy. The lack of honesty is wide spread with the Romney crowd. They fall down, roll over and play dumb.

However, seems you finally admitted Muslim/Islam is perfectly OK for you. There is ONE GOD and it is NOT Joe Smith, nor Allah.

LEARN from who and where the beliefs FOR America came from - and it is NOT from the godless. America would be like any 3rd rate godless country. Watch when America's blessings are drawn away - YOU will remember this post and it will be too late. God protects HIS OWN - those who belong to HIM have NO worries of what is to come from either the POS LIAR Romney or his POS brother, Obama. The fearful crowd bows to men and their 'gods'. The God-fearing crowd bows to God ALONE.

[Elsie]

Look up the word Christian in the dictionary and you won’t see a requirement to buy into the trinity or the creeds.

Look up the word MORMON and you'll find a controlling bunch of hypocrits trying to lay claim to it.

Media Letter   

26 June 2008 — Salt Lake City  (http://newsroom.lds.org/additional-resource/media-letter)

*The following is a letter from Elder Lance B. Wickman, General Counsel of the Church to publishers of major newspapers, TV stations and magazines. It was sent out on Tuesday, June 24, 2008.

Recent events have focused the media spotlight on a polygamous sect near San Angelo, Texas, calling itself the “Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.” As you probably know, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has absolutely no affiliation with this polygamous sect. Decades ago, the founders of that sect rejected the doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were excommunicated, and then started their own religion. To the best of our knowledge, no one at the Texas compound has ever been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Unfortunately, however, some of the media coverage of the recent events in Texas has caused members of the public to confuse the doctrines and members of that group and our church. We have received numerous inquiries from confused members of the public who, by listening to less than careful media reports, have come to a grave misunderstanding about our respective doctrines and faith. Based on these media reports many have erroneously concluded that there is some affiliation between the two – or even worse, that they are one and the same.

Over the years, in a careful effort to distinguish itself, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has gone to significant lengths to protect its rights in the name of the church and related matters. Specifically, we have obtained registrations for the name “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” “Mormon,” “Book of Mormon” and related trade and service marks from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and corresponding agencies in a significant number of foreign countries.

We are confident that you are committed to avoiding misleading statements that cause unwarranted confusion and that may disparage or infringe the intellectual property rights discussed above. Accordingly, we respectfully request the following:

1. As reflected in the AP Style Guide, we ask that you and your organization refrain from referring to members of that polygamous sect as “fundamentalist Mormons” or “fundamentalist” members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
2. We ask that, when reporting about this Texas-based polygamous sect or any other polygamous group, you avoid either explicitly or implicitly any inference that these groups are affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
3. On those occasions when it may be necessary in your reporting to refer to the historical practice of plural marriage in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that you make very clear that the Church does not condone the practice of polygamy and that it has been forbidden in the Church for over one hundred years. Moreover, we absolutely condemn arranged or forced “marriages” of underage girls to anyone under any circumstances.

Stated simply, we would like to be known and recognized for whom we are and what we believe, and not be inaccurately associated with beliefs and practices that we condemn in the strongest terms. We would be grateful if you could circulate or copy this letter to your editorial staff and to your legal counsel.

We thank you for your consideration of these important matters.

Sincerely,

Lance B. Wickman

General Counsel

Talking to yourself is a sign of impending mental collapse.

[Elsie]

Nor are our doctrines ‘made up’ but revealed by God.

HA ha!

Your sacred SECRET Temple Rituals are made up by men.

If they had been 'reveled' as you so unwisely claim; then would they NOT be in your SCRIPTURES somewhere?

[greyfoxx39]

Love the Viking Kitteh!

I talk to myself because I am the only on who will listen to me, and sometimes I don’t even listen.
;-)

[Elsie]

They were POd

Much like a certain EVANGELICAL who posts MORMON facts on FR daily!!!

[TheOldLady]

Thank you for the heads up, grey.

[Elsie]

They had an newby "apostle" set fire to their printing operations building -- all because they didn't want the "anti-Mormons" to take it over to print things Smith couldn't control about Mormonism.

Jim; I hope you have all the data and hardware backed up somewhere else!!

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Watch out for when you begin to argue with yourself, especially if you call in reinforcements to assist with arguing with yourself.

[TheOldLady]

I’m in the same boat. I’m so grateful to so many FReepers for many of my graphics.
