I'm glad your islam-type "Lawfare" is finally being countered in the lead up to the 2012 elections. I guess you've finally hit the abuse button one too many times !
Down with Reid, Romney AND MONSON !
Don’t feel bad the stealth war on the LDS is now in the open!
Trust in the Lord and lets do what is right!
I am pleased now it is like the Christian forum at least you knew where you stood over there.
here there don’t even seem to be a half heart effort to be ....
This is better for it was taking a toll on me...
Open is better
I have watched the changes over the years and some ways it is heart breaking to a once might forum...
One of my favorite hymns is...
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/o/n/oncetoev.htm
Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some great decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever, ’twixt that darkness and that light.
Then to side with truth is noble, when we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calv’ries ever with the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth,
They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth.
Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own.
I bear my testimony that Joseph Smith is the latter day prophet called by the Lord Jesus Christ and this The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true Church restored upon the earth once more!
How silly.
As with all christians, our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and Him crucified and resurrected, and His atonement for our sins, which is a free gift if we will accept it...is the key and principle issue which over-rides all others.
I would agree on this most critical tennant and join together shoulder to shoulder with all my other Christian friends of all denominations to jointly fight the pressing evils of the day that threaten our Republic and way of life.
...and avoid contention amongst ourselves which serves to weaken us in the fight for our society, and not push on the other issues where we differ in interpretation or other principles which are in the end, of less consequence than our joint, sincere belief in Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem and Savior of all mankind, the only path and gate through which any of us may return to our Father in Heaven.
Yup!
We CHRISTIANS have had all the CRAP from you MORMONs that we are going to take!
Stand and fight or retreat; as those are your on ly two options!
MORMONism itself TESTIFIES that it is a heresy of BIBLICAL porportion!

War? You exaggerate. No blood has been spilt; no harm has been done to us or the Lord's work.
I frequently disagree with what is written about Mormons and Mormonism here. Rather than complain about being mistreated, it is better to set the record straight. I appreciate the opportunity that Free Republic offers us to respond to attacks on our faith.
Restornu, what anti-Mormons do and say about us is far less a concern to me than what some Mormons do and say in response. Thin-skinned Mormons probably should not read critical articles.
You bear a testimony that starts off with claiming some man named J. Smith..is a prophet.
When I testify...I testify about my Lord and Saviour...Not a man!!
May God guide your heart..and open your mind.
