he was sent to earth with the mark of the curse of Manx. Now he can never perform the ordinance of the laying on of tail.

ROTFL...my manx kitteh can't perform that ordinance either...'cause she's a SHE!

But she is speshul, since I've been told most orange kittehs are male.

fidget

Guess the males were more valiant in Heab'n.

You know, Godzilla, you really need to stop this distortion. I’ve repeatedly addressed your arguments. Claiming I’ve avoided them is dishonest. I know, I know, the usual players here will side with you but the posting history shows otherwise.

Hardly eddie - only in your mind.

YOU, not me, distorted Mormonism’s view on women. YOU, not me, ignores points. Did you address my pointing out the obvious that you’re confusing authority with superiority? No you didn’t.

I presented FACTUAL teachings from YOUR APOSTLES eddie on the secondary status given lds women. Your gloss on authority and superiority is just that - a gloss. It is factual (and you agreed) that mormonism isn't necessarily good for mormon women - highlighted by Utah having the highest prozac rate and the equally high rate of lds women abuse of those drugs.

I know such demonization is the first step towards justification of genocide and if not confronted, bad things will eventually happen all over again just because of religious intolerance.

OMG - THE WE ARE OUT TO KILL ALL MORMONS defense. Petty and parnoid eddie. My military service was spent to protect your sorry keester from that very thing happening - a military career you disrespected.

Also, why are you frothing at the mouth? You constantly engage in belittling me and my fellow Mormons, but when your credibility is questioned; oh! How dare he!

Like every other veteran, I put my self on the line - real death, not the paranoid genocide you waffle about. Secondly, it just goes to show how out of touch you are with the military.

Come to think of it, are you really a military veteran or just one of those phonies who were against the war that were paraded before the media? After all, you’re expecting me and everyone else to believe you’re a vet. Well, how would we know you’re telling the truth? Anyone can claim to be anything here.

Yes, thank you again with an additional personal challenge to my veterans status.

It really is quite simple. STOP LYING and MISREPRESENTING my faith. I do not do it to your faith; don’t do it to mine

As of yet - you've failed to prove a single allegation of this. And as long as mormons claim to be Christians - I, as well as others will refute every claim.

I discontinued writing Mormon apologetics for the precise reason that I simply do NOT care any more.

Don't let the door hit ya on the rear on your way out.

You were the one who lied and misrepresented how women are treated in mormonism...

Not us...

In mormonism women are treated as second class citizens at best...

as sex objects and slaves to be used and abused by the “worthy” dirty old men of the “prisethood”

Ya wants some truth ???

Ya cant handle the truth...

Mormonism is not Christianity...

The NCO corps is the backbone of the military, nothing lowly about it.

So that's it?

Your defense of all the Mormon dogma that holds woman in eternal inferiority to man both here and in Kingdom Come rests on your concocted distinction between superiority and authority?

That's pathetic.

Your eternal authority over your wives (all those ones you're entitled to in the Celestial Kingdom) is just a convenience of your God given authority, not superiority.

Yeah, right. How convenient for you.

I think it just might be that “priesthood tone of authority” - makes them all sound alike....like pompous, arrogant jerks!

I get dragged in on this forum because I simply cannot tolerate the constant lying and misrepresentation you and the others do against my faith.

LOL. It is called TELLING THE TRUTH. Something the LDS spin machine fails to do.

The poor little guy must not have been very valiant in the pre-existence - he was sent to earth with the mark of the curse of Manx. Now he can never perform the ordinance of the laying on of tail.

Words sure do have meaning. As a student of history, I am too aware that genocides occur because people have been conditioned into viewing others as subhuman or unworthy of existence. Words condition people into justifying terrible evil because their god wills it or the victims deserve their fate because they are outsiders or different.

The constant demonization and misrepresentation of Mormons has already poisoned millions of minds in the US and elsewhere. Just as the propaganda against the Jews resulted in the Holocaust in Europe, “Mormons are a non-Christian cult” is the first step into portraying us as foreigners or outsiders that will lead to another Holocaust if the thin restraint of our civilization disappears.

Why not just get it over and done with and start killing us Mormons just because we believe differently than you? After all, wouldn’t the world be a better place without us “cultists?”

The current propaganda against us will lead in that direction. So-called “Christians” will once again butcher the outsiders in the name of God. I’ve no doubt if the United States suffers a civilizational collapse that areas with large Evangelical and Baptist populations will resort to exterminating Mormons, and other undesirables like Jehovah’s Witnesses, thinking they’re doing God a favor.

The old, “Well, we never told anyone to kill them” is a pathetic excuse since the poison and hatred towards Mormons was planted long ago in their hearts to their everlasting condemnation.
