Today, I was driving home from work and I saw two young Mormon "elders" (probably still in their teens) standing next to their bikes waving at passers-by. They were not far from my neighborhood.
I thought, they are looking for little unprotected sheep (those who are young in the Christian faith and not well grounded in God's word).
As nicely as they were dressed, and as pleasant as they seemed as they smiled and waved, they were, in truth, wolves in sheep's clothing.
Actually , you came off as a simple retread, or troll.
When you are in France, say hello to the 13th Regiment for me.
Well I’m glad you have an opinion.
It means little to me.
An honest man would be known as himself.
“I believe one will be judged by their actions here on Earth, rather that through grace.”
Make sure your undertaker provides your corpse with asbestos skivvies.
Shyster Rick Warren gives away 90% of his income??? Yeah right.....unless his income is in the millions or his church pays ALL of his bills, or he is paid by other means instead of income.....which is it?
And we were related. Our Great great grandfathers were the same man with three wives. My husband and I come from two different wives.

I kind of like that they ask the needy to WORK for their help AND to PAY BACK 10%. I don’t think that’s slave labor at all. Gets them out of the “gimme, gimme” hammock quickly.
Where does it say in the Bible that you should give 10% to the Church? If you are referring to 10%, it was related to the Temple and the Jewish Priesthood. I give a lot more than 10% to charitable causes, but not to churches. Not because of a prejudice against churches, but a need to direct funds to where I feel led to contribute//////One of my favorite charities is the Food Bank, because their overhead is 3% as opposed to the gubmint’s 50%.
Thank you. Be careful to give to organizations, but when the L-RD directs you to give, give cheerfully, and thank H-m for the opportunity..
The way I read the Bible, tithing is an Old Testament practice. For New Testament Christians, it is optional.
Preachers who beat the drum about tithing are very suspect in my view. The “prosperity” crowd is real big on it. I have to question their motives since tithing is not a New Testament requirment.
“Heavenly Father”.
I have a fun way of tithing. I toss my money up in the air. What ever “god” wants he can keep. What hits the ground is mine.
Ya gotta give me a break. I’m 24. I’m trying to get a hang of things on FR.
Wise beyond your years IMHO.
Quite the opposite. I pray he opens his heart to the TRUTH.
Different version, same topic: A man has tried to join a church but they have "standards" and he doesn't meet them. He prays to God about being kept out of the church and one night, God answers him, "Don't take it personally, they won't let Me in either".
Thanks for your service to our country.
Thank you too - I was late for Nam and retired before 9-11, so never had to put it on the line in a hostile arena. My love and respect to all who have and to the folks enlisting in recent times when they know it’s likely they will deploy to a place where people will shoot at them.
Wow, this guy is just more proof we are doomed...
I hope he is a DU troll.
