“I have nothing against individual Mormons and wish them the very best. As to earthly politics, I gratefully accept their support where ever they happen to agree with our conservative causes. It’s to our mutual benefit.”
In other words, so long as we agree with you and kiss your ring, we are your friends. But as soon as we disagree with you, we become your enemy. Can’t you see what’s wrong with that picture? Friends like this are not friends indeed.
According to your own edicts, eventually you will have no one left here on FR except the yes men and a bunch of brown-nosers.
Sandy, because you haven’t gotten your way you are not resorting to insulting our host?
NOTE TO ALL: This is actually a very Mormon pattern of behavior that we have seen a lot of lately, sadly...
1) Tell people all about how wonderful the Mormon church (notice CHURCH not Christ) is.
2) Spoon feed them spiritual milk and deny or change the subject or refuse to answer questions about LDS ‘meat’ doctrines. Dodging questions hoping they will go away is SOP.
3) If they start to get uncomfortable, they ‘bear their testimony’ using words that sound Christian but have different meanings (and yes they know LDS have their own meanings).
4) If challenged further, they start attacking those who speak out against them, leveling all kinds of charges (couldn’t live the gospel, didn’t want to tithe, in it for money, lying, bigotry, hatred, wanting to bring back the inquisition, wanting to kill them).
5) If that goes nowhere, they play the ‘victim card’ and go on about how they are hated and persecuted and there is a history of that in Mormonism, and it just proves Mormonism is ‘true’...
6) Finally, they get angry, pick up their toys, and go home (like GMR). They still haven’t answered the questions or dealt with the issues, they just claim to be offended and shut down rather than really try to work through the issues with Mormonism.
Now, if somewhere along those lines (which happens all the time) you can pique the Mormon’s interest, get them to question it themselves, or why they don’t have a good answer to the question, then over half the battle is won.
Sandy, Resty, GMR, we don’t hate you, we love you enough to want better for you that what Mormonism can give.
The sign on the door says Free Republic is a God, Country, Family, Life & Liberty site. And we seek to attract like-minded individuals. Those who campaign against us on our deeply-held traditional Christian conservative views are not like-minded and therefore not welcome.
“God” referring to the one true Judeo-Christian God of the bible.
You are not my enemy. But those who wish to preach some other gospel other than the true Word of God as recorded in the KJV Christian bible will not be allowed to do so UNCHALLENGED on FR. I will not forbid our Christian members from challenging the words of Joseph Smith & Co.
Thus no LDS caucus protection. That’s just the way it is. Take it or leave it.
Saundra, for you...
“In other words, so long as we agree with you and kiss your ring, we are your friends.”
What a load of extreme straw man argumentation!
“But as soon as we disagree with you, we become your enemy.”
You can believe whatever you want about mormonism. Jim has stated you can’t promote it here and tear down Christianity. Really, you have transformed your posts into a pile of whining victimization. Why do you even want to be on a conservative website, Saundra? Is it just to promote Willard?
“Can’t you see what’s wrong with that picture?”
Anyone can see what is wrong with your straw-man argument - expect, apparently you.
“Friends like this are not friends indeed.”
Indeed, you are no friend, except a good weather friend when everything is going your way... based on your whining.
One might ask, why?
Most amazing melt down I’ve witnessed here so far. Pull yourself back from the edge Sandra. Man up.
