But you did all this WORK for them for years; can you still get into one of their temples?
First you need a mormon with a bigger hat size to tell you what "be specific" means.
Cannot think of any reason any more, besides we have our own temple.
Back in 1986 I figured out how to attend my daughters wedding in the Oakland T. (don't ask)
She finally quit the church about ten years ago as have all of my kids.
You are TRULY blessed!
Ok; I'll speculate:
You had rubber gloves and a pail and told the doorman you were there to clean the toilets.
We know the truth. And Mormonism is not it. Mormonism is false gospel. Look it up.
You need to buy a clue?
“We know the truth. And Mormonism is not it. Mormonism is false gospel. Look it up.”
Jim, I never claimed that it was. I was simply surprised at the level of vituperation against Mormons and the amount of posting space some were willing to consume with the matter. But that’s just my opinion. I think it would be more productive to channel that anger against our government. Or if you want to go after Mormons, go after that bastard Harry Reid, or Flake, or the Udall’s. They are about destroying our country and that for me is far more important than how or who they worship.
Happy New Year and a wish for FR to have continued success in it’s mission this coming year.
Don’t think anyone holds anything against individual Mormons. Fine people for the most part. But Mormonism itself is a scam.
Mormons are very nice people. Moonies are very nice people. The folks in Guiana with Jim Jones were very nice people. Apparently you have an agenda against very nice people being informed, and more damning, you want to duct tape the mouths of people who do manage to break the bonds of approved Morg® thought/speak and emerge from the Joseph Smith cult as eyewitnesses.
Every day I discover a new ex-mormon or two on this site I never knew, and they are slow to reveal themselves because they know FRAM insures that ex-mormons with a testimony will be attacked, called haters, liars and bigots, or sometimes (ahem) "time wasters", at least when the Boss reminds you of your manners.
There's nothing in the mormon condition that sunlight can't cure. But there are people with a vested interest with keeping others in darkness. You either don't know anything about what the mormon cult does to people, and you're doing this out of ignorance, or else you know everything and you're lying in the service of a dead pedophilic con artist. Anyone who knows even a little bit about mormonism, who cares enough to do the most cursory search, knows the damage this cult does. And ex-mormons such as myself, know intimately.
“Dont think anyone holds anything against individual Mormons. Fine people for the most part. But Mormonism itself is a scam.”
I completely agree! And I would add that they have a lot of company in the phalanx of “organized religions” who take your money in exchange for subjugating you to their “belief systems.” I don’t need anyone to try and compel my behavior and tell me that “I am not good enough.”
The FRAM clown even identifies FReepers on his webpage...if you’re known to post information that rebuts, refutes or otherwise “disparages” mormonISM, your FReepname will be posted.
The point is this, posting information that sheds light on the doctrine, theology, practices, teachings, history, etc. shouldn’t be viewed as “anti-” anything...that position is an inflammatory, emotionally charged position.
Used to generate a vociferous and oft times visceral reaction to the posters, not the information.
Oh, and if you were not aware, it is precisely because of posts like Elsie’s and others that I was forced to challenge my own beliefs as a mormon...I got my knickers in a twist the same way many here still do...folks may not like the presentation method or the presenter, but the information is there.
And because of a change in my attitude towards the method and presenter, I’m now an ex-mormon.
