“...Salt Lake Temple back when they were celebrating the 200th anniversary of it.”
200th anniversary? What?
It was a very special Smithmas...
The 200th anniversary of Joey Smith’s birth...
cradle and all...Decemeber 23rd...
You know...Joseph Smith...
The reason for the mormon Smithmas...
mormons worship Joey Smith as their “savior”...
so his birth is heralded and celebrated with birthday parties etc...
Mormons are not Christians...
Christians are clebrating the birth of Jesus right now..
Mormons...not so much...
“...Salt Lake Temple back when they were celebrating the 200th anniversary of it.”
200th anniversary? What?
- - - -
I caught that too. The SLC temple was built between 1853 and 1893.
The bicentennial is a LONG way off.
200th anniversary? What?
(Well, doncha know, lds are known for revising history...)
Example #1: I mean you thought your beginnings were inside of your mother's womb...
Per Lds, nope...
...Mormons went in & changed that...
...some Mormons rewrite that to be the "pre-existence" in glory...
...other Mormons recognize us as somehow being eternal from eternity past...
Example 2: Mormons like to point out how, historically, polygamy supposedly "ended" in 1890...
...and the gullible people fall for it...
...but the Lds leaders "plural unioned" several hundred more relationships between 1890-1910...
...and then on top of that, they ignore all the polygamous families which existed on during that time (they didn't break up most of those families) -- so, mainstream Mormon plural families were around into the early 1960s!!!
Example 3: Adam in Lds history went from the first man to God and then on to a "nobody" -- lesser than Eve, even! For over 25 years, Brigham Young taught that Adam was God. Now, for some reason, Lds curricula & Lds publications leave out this teaching from their "prophet." Now, how would you feel if your were Adam?
You're Adam: For 25 years, the Mormons recognize you as "God."
They sing to you.
They worship you.
They pray to you.
They hail you.
And then, suddenly, you're the god who's swept under the rug!
Now, Eve gets more praise from Mormons than Adam does -- and oddly enough, Eve gets it for sinning!
Lds apostle Dallin Oaks wrote: "Some Christians condemn Eve for her act, concluding that she and her daughters are somehow flawed by it. Not the Latter-day Saints! Informed by revelation, we celebrate Eve's act and honor her with wisdom and courage in the great episode called the Fall." ("The Choice that Began Mortality" Liahona, 2002)
Uh, OK, Dallin...You "celebrate" Eve's direct rebellion and disobedience of God that brought death for billions into the world...and has had wide-ranging consequences. And you "honor" this as a wise choice. Tell us, Dallin, how it is any Mormon parent dares to discipline their teen daughters going astray when her comeback could be: "Hey, you celebrated Eve's 'free agency' as a 'wise' choice, why can't you similarly 'honor' my drinking binges, drugs, and promiscuity?"
