AMEN!

Worth a repost:

We don’t hide embarrassing doctrine until we get converts so involved they have difficulty backing out.

I don’t run into Mormons like maybe you do, and yes you have a role as an ex-mormom to be the best witness to them..

I speak to Atheists, Laodicean Christians and Jews mainly about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that is maybe my role to witness.....

Just like Ex-Muslims who become Christians are the best witnesses to preach the Gospel Message to other Muslims...

We all have a role as witnesses for Christ that we can enhance by our culture and personal experiences...

God is going to change DNA and genetics to conform to the Book of Mormon!

So the curse of Cain is lifted and only white babies will be born now?

Yes, and I for one INSIST THAT THEY OWN IT !!

From now on anytime I see a mormon posting bible verses I will immediately post up the JST version.

Here is a link for anyone to use for reference and cutting/pasting.

Didn’t Moses himself personally come down from heaven and baptize Joseph Smith and his buddy, Oliver Cowardly?

By the way, I would suggest in the future making threads like this for LDS Caucus, unless you like reading page after page of mud slinging from the usual suspects.

- - - - -
ROFL. It was originally posted in Religion as an LDS caucus thread. Jim Rob moved it to News and too it out of caucus to prove a point.

BTW, we aren’t the ones slinging the mud, it is the LDS. We just post the truth.

"We aren't looking for Mormons, they just dominate the able and ambitious pool of possibilities."

Profiling by any other name stinks just as offensively.

how about the LDS try to actually defend their beliefs

They seem ashamed to even admit them.

Lurkers will note that the anti-Mormon propagandist misrepresents material and ignores explanations provided. As usual.

Actually, any freeper could repost any article posted as a Caucus thread, making it an open thread, where everybody could post whatever they wanted.

The Caucus designation didn’t silence people. Instead, it isolated people. That’s the funny thing — caucus threads were really like giving the nutcases their own little rooms to go to where they could say whatever stupid things they wanted, without bothering the sane people who wanted to discuss and argue things.

So it’s funny to see people claiming that the caucus designation was somehow an affront to those NOT in the caucus, when they seem much more like a crutch for caucus members who don’t feel like defending their beliefs.

Godzilla, I am very familiar with your opinion of polygamy.

We have had this discussion several times.

You never win, and you never admit that we had this discussion before.

Lurkers, My page on FR has extensive commentary and scriptural links, I am not planning to spam the thread with a huge cut and post, so you'll have to click to read it.

Godzilla, you have never successfully refuted my page, your many attempts strew this web site as broken arrows fired at a tank strew a battle field.

What are you going to call me a Mitt Romney supporter again? LOL! Google proves that accusation you like to level at me to be a lie.

As for Jesus making it clear, he made it clear that Divorce is adultery, he said nothing about polygamy.

Prove me wrong about Jesus and polygamy, I dare you.

Be respectful of the opinions and feelings of other people. Recognize their virtues; don’t look for their faults. Look for their strengths and their virtues, and you will find strength and virtues that will be helpful in your own life.” BTW this was written in the Ensign 2000 » August

Then why aren't you doing it :-) You've had 10 1/2 years now lady, LOL!

Agreed. It is scary out there. I tell my friends who are new to the ministry to Mormons - “the first death threat scares you, after that you get used to it”.

Hey, Monk ping to #548 for a graphic idea.

Somebody has got to photoshop a white shirt and missionary tag on the islamic rage boy picture ! :)

He gave this counsel: “Be respectful of the opinions and feelings of other people. Recognize their virtues; don’t look for their faults. Look for their strengths and their virtues, and you will find strength and virtues that will be helpful in your own life.”

Well once again Resty you are following mans advice which opposes Jesus's teaching to stand against falsehood and the teachings which are otherwise not sound doctrine. Jesus did just that...

Further...He calls us to recognize false doctrine and not to be ignorant of the enemies devices. The Mormon church uses many of those devices and are clearly discernible to those who have the spirit of Christ within them and are grounded in the Christian Bible truths.

An yes indeed I will paint a broad brush across any religion which opposes the Christian Christ and His teachings. The Mormon church teaches "another Gospel" and "worships a false and counterfeit Christ". The evidence is overwhelming and why LDS will never be considered a Christian religion...

They won't even state simply which Bible they use, the Joseph Smith "translation" declared a fraud by Brigham Young, or the King James version.

Once again, those here won't even state which bible they use.

Truly, wholly, utterly deceptive and pathetic.

IIRC, that is the link I used when a few years ago I posted the eight hundred plua words Smith added to the end of the Book of Genesis, trying to fabricate a ‘biblical prophecy’ of his ‘coming in these latter days.’ I even cloro coded, to show where Smith deviated from the Tanakh and began adding his fantasy.
