So. Let's see. According to you the meanies in the great big, scary, anti-Mormon propaganda machine:
  1. post regurgitated propaganda
  2. employ many different tactics that are quite interesting
  3. use straw man arguments
  4. cherry-pick quotes or other material
  5. misrepresent what has been said or what was meant and then attack their own interpretation (I suppose that's an expanded version of "straw man argument" in #3 above)
  6. audaciously claim they "only" quote our own material.
  7. use deceptive practices
  8. unfairly and inaccurately present Mormon scriptures and quotations of Mormon leaders quote
  9. post scripture or statements which on their own really present no dilemma
  10. make something out of nothing while never bringing up a single objection that hasn't been addressed a hundred times before
  11. use of disrespectful or insulting terms or language and/or pictures to antagonize Mormons

If you are doing anything other than playing the Mormon victim card, please explain which of the above is being done with this thread.

Mormon apologetic tactic: "Make the posters the issue, not the issues."

As of December 31, 2009, there were 51,736 LDS missionaries serving in 344 church missions throughout the world. Their work, often in cooperation with local members, resulted in 280,106 convert baptisms in 2009.[12] Author David Stewart points out that the number of convert baptisms per missionary per year has fallen from a high of 8.03 in 1989 to just 4.67 in 2005.[13] He argues that the number of converts would increase if Mormon missionaries made greater efforts in meeting new people; he points out that the average companionship spends only four or five hours per week attempting to meet new people.[13]

How terrible it is that a handful of Christians post a handful of threads per week on FreeRepublic to counter the proselytizing efforts of the missionaries and public relations campaign of the mormon church. Don't you just feel SO sorry that the poor, persecuted mormons aren't able to have their message heard?
