“Mormons worked against McCain and the Conservatives and republicans in 2008 by finding ‘busy work’ to do instead of supporting the GOP nominee againt (sic) Obama”

I, as many of my conservative & LDS friends, were not thrilled with the McCain candidacy but we sure did vote for him - or rather we voted for Sarah Palin. I have never heard that any of us worked tirelessly to oppose him once he was the nominee - unlike the anti Romney goons who could not rest from their labors of bashing and trashing the 2012 Presidential nominee.

I have no idea what you are talking about but I know you can never find it in your heart to say one good thing about us Mormons. (I suppose you will have this post taken down.)

God bless you.

Paranoid “victim” much ???

No kid I dont do that as you well know...

I hope it stays up to show how you accuse Christians without cause...

“never” etc...

Meanwhile kid there is nothing “good” about adultery AKA polygamy...

God “can never find it in His heart to say one good thing about” polygamy...

and yet your own Mormon leader Brigham Young said you yourself would be damned if you dont commit adultery/polygamy...

The LORD Jesus Christ, who is the God of the Christian Bible said that we are damned of we do...

so who is right ???

Joey Smith, the god of ther Mormons ???

Or The LORD Jesus Christ, the God of the Christians ???

Joey Smith claimed that the sexual deviancy of polygamy was “righteousness”

The LORD Jesus Christ said that it was not, but that it was the way to death...

Choose the right way kid but choose wisely grasshopper...

remembering that The LORD Jesus Christ destroyed the unwise lying false propet Joey Smith...

PING to the lovely Elsie, the keeper of BY excathedra type pronouncements..

You see to have MORMON leadership mixed up with people who post FACTS about Mormonism - like ME!

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

 

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses

, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

 

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

 

 

 

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

 

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

 

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

 

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

So, D13; you either ACCEPT these quotes from Mormon leaders or you repudiate them.

Which shall it be?

Of course; there IS a third possibility: that you will IGNORE this question and leave us all wondering...

[Elsie]

...unlike the anti Romney goons who could not rest from their labors of bashing and trashing the 2012 Presidential nominee.

So; you ADMIT to voting for a stinking RINO???

For SHAME!

[Jim Robinson]

Your post is simply a lie, retread. Very few FReepers worked against Romney after he was the only one standing against Obama, even though it was obvious from the beginning that Mr. RomneyCare the lifelong big government aborrionist/statist had no chance whatsoever.

“unlike the anti Romney goons who could not rest from their labors of bashing and trashing the 2012 Presidential nominee.”

First, I’m not sure what qualifies someone as a “goon”. Is it only conscientious conservatives who followed their own convictions that are considered goons?

Does telling the truth about RINOmney’s actual actions and votes and words count as bashing and trashing?

Put me down as someone who always tries to follow my convictions and understanding of truth. I fail, but I get up and try again. If that makes me a goon in your eyes, I’m OK with that.

[Colofornian]

...the anti Romney GOONS...

Sandy, why do you go around calling fellow FREEPERs "goons" anyway?

Is that being Mormonically polite?
If you believe these "goons" are your spiritual bros & sistahs from "premordialville," is this the way you treat your supposed "spiritual siblings?"
