Mormons 'face more bigotry than black Americans'...
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 13, 2012 | Staff

Posted on 01/13/2012 6:26:14 AM PST by C19fan

Nearly half of Mormons say church members face significant discrimination in the United States, and a third believe voters are not ready to elect Mitt Romney, or any other member of their church, president.

.........................................................

The Pew study found that almost half of Mormons in the U.S. consider themselves more discriminated against than African Americans.

It is AMAZING the silence of MORMONs in these threads!

“Do you agree or disagree with what your leaders have taught?
SILENCE

“Have you read THESE things that ARE evidently TAUGHT by your chosen church?”
SILENCE

And then, if an answer IS forthcoming, it’s to a question that was not asked!

If mere MORMON minions, sent to FR to do battle with Evil ANTIs, are THIS reluctant to defend their chosen religious organization; SILENCE on most things, disembling on others; if they are this way in the trenches, how much MORE embedded is the behaviour at higher levels?


It ain’t gonna be pretty when Mitt starts getting bombarded with the same treatment from the MSM.

The video clips of his actions and REactions will be DAMNING!

I support the right of LDS to believe as they choose.

As do I.

BUT...

Their reastions to questioning from outsiders is NOT something that the outsiders control.

If LDS members choose to remain so elusive (what's that phrase - Nailing Jello® to a tree), how can they possibly complain when their chosen church gets labeled a CULT?

The Journal of Discourses are a compiled record of what has been taught as the foundational beliefs of Mormonism.

If Tommy would just have a WOW modifying revelation from GOD, like we did on POLYGAMY, I'll bet MORE folks would be able to say YES! to THIS TRQ: 11 Do you keep the Word of Wisdom?

It might get more folks up into that GOOD place in our Heaven!

Momma always said: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomache.”

I’ll just bet that you could get a man’s SOUL that way, too!

JESUS: Hey Smith!       Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?

JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?

JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?

JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!

JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.

JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!

JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.

JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.

JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?

JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)

JESUS: That's it.

JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.

JESUS: Nah - it was right.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.

JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.

JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!

JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?

JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....

JESUS: What did you say?

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.

JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.

JESUS: No...

JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?

JESUS: Nope.

JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!

JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.

JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.

JESUS: No; it wasn't.

JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?

JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?

JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.

JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.

JOSEPH SMITH: But....

And again you try that deceit! A Christian is supposed to have and use discernment. In fact, Christians are commanded to do so, Andy. It is not even difficult to discern the spirit of anti-Christ in Momronism when one is a Christian in more than name. The quote I posted now several times, which you are avoiding like the plague, reveals the spirit of anti-Christ at the heart of MormonISM. It’s the ISM, Andy, not the adherents. But I will offer this, if you persist in serving the spirit of anti-Christ, whether willingly or by being duped into it, you will reap the harvest of anti-Christ. ... And your ability to discern by God’s Spirit in you will bevoid. When we oppose your ISM, we are not looking nto your heart, Andy. So try to not be deceitful and pretend the attacks on your ISM are judging your heart. And you should know, the serving of anti-Christ reveals a deadness of the spirit, your spirit, if you continue to do this. In being thus judged, it is not I who will be judging, but discernment allows a Christian to DISCErn WHAT SPIRIT IS AT WORK, fer shur dude.

Only God has that ability, and all judgment is committed to His Son who can make that judgment perfectly. It should be left up to Him.

In that case, all the mormon temples should be razed to the very foundations. It is the judgment of men that determines who can take part in the manmade covenants that mormonism claims bind Almighty God to follow. Mormonism inserts man between man and God.

Every time that a mormon enters a temple and takes part in the rituals therein, he is in agreement with the statement: "No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith...every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are...
- Prophet Birgham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p.289-91

It is no small thing to accuse falsely, and we could later regret doing so.

It is no small thing to falsely claim that God took His Gospel from the earth and chose a nefarious wastrel to "restore" it. Every time the claim "mormonism is the ONE TRUE CHURCH" is uttered it is a false claim...and one's soul WILL later regret doing so.
