Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

“There is no way to state the truth where it becomes a lie.”

Someday I hope you find out how foolish that notion is.
Until then you will only know the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Anti-Mormons and the like.

“FAILS to address the point.”

Please don't true to change the subject.
The point is that many an Anti-Mormon will state true facts in a way that the thought becomes a lie.

Once again kbk - an epic fail. Called poisoning the well and faced with your apparent inability to show otherwise further reinforces the fail.

By making an unsubstantiated statement you don't prove anything, except ignorance of the subject. Lets examine just one comparison -

E. Speaking of the sinful actions of some Latter-day Saints, this leader publicly called for a place to be designated where the blood of covenant-breakers could be shed. - Ans: Apostle Jeddiah Grant.

Now please kbk - what 'lie' is being transmitted here? Want to read it for yourself, go here. In fact Grant calls for the shedding of their blood no less than three times and infers that they should be killed for their iniquity.

So come on kbk, do your homework - just what is the 'thought' that becomes a 'lie' in this speech? You made the accusation - you need to pony up the proof.

And don't say it is not important to the rest of the sentence, the "mormon coffee" people are experts at creating their Anti-Mormon rederick.

Rederick? Whoa....Ben, you be channeling someone...

I have read moronic statements before but for you to believe the truth can be stated as a lie really takes the prize.
I follow Jesus Christ, and yes Jesus Christ is anti-MormonISM.

Just a “milky” mormon

The meat is where the blood is found

Milk mormons arent told the meaty “truth” of mormonism

This one would obviously leave in a hurry if told

or would never have joined in the first place

Its not nice to find out one has been lied too

Ah, good so far.

... in a way that the thought becomes a lie.

Hmm...(So there's degrees of truth within the "rainbow" of truth...ranging from truly true to truly false...?)

(Interestin' def of "truth" there...but consistent with Mormonism)

BTW...tell us what you think of this Joseph Smithism:

To be damned: ...turn to a modern dictionary, and you will see "damnation" defined as "exclusion from divine mercy; condemnation to eternal punishment." In common usage the word has no other sense. http://www.what-the-hell-is-hell.com/HellEncyclopedia/WordDamn.htm

That site says that originally "damn" as an English word = "Loss, harm" & then came to mean "judgment upon."

Smith came along and took the English word "dam" and then said that "damnation" simply = "dammed up"...in other words, controlled for a period of time prior to release.

IOW, even though the Book of Mormon regularly talked about eternal and everlasting hell...he then in the early 1830s switched it to a temporary state (in the D&C).

So how about taking a true word ("dam") and superimposing it falsely upon another word ("damnation") -- and then claiming that adjectives "everlasting" doesn't mean "everlasting" after all?

(There ya go, all...that's the kind of verbal gymnastics' games that Mormons play)

I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it has nothing to do with that joseph smith and his nine versions of the first vision, his lying, his pedophilia, his adulatory, his thievery, his blasphemy of the Word of the Eternal God, his flim flam activities, his shyster activity............IE mormonISM.
