Didn't happen. Do we KNOW that?

How do we KNOW the word didn't flow from Rome: "Better STOP them Commies in Cuba now; or things will get worse."?

Please Elsie, leave me alone.

I posted this, that’s all.

If I am your enemy now then tell me, if I’m not, then quit acting as though I am.

I don’t know if anyone is interested in rebutting something like this from another thread, but if they are, here is the link.
Where and when have Mormons ever attacked any Christian Church? It is the Baptists who are constantly attacking Mormons. They fear them because Mormons stand up for what they believe and are not hypocrites.

"The Pope! How many divisions has he got?", Joseph Stalin
Said sarcastically to Pierre Laval in 1935, in response to being asked whether he could do anything with Russian Catholics to help Laval win favour with the Pope, to counter the increasing threat of Nazism; as quoted in The Second World War (1948) by Winston Churchill vol. 1, ch. 8, p. 105.

at SIX MONTHS OLD you would not have repented of your sins...

Yeah, that birthday was March 7. But my other birthday, my re-birthday, was on September 10 of the same year.

[Elsie]

But Mormons are not pacifist, as far as I know.

True; many MORMONs have served our country well in the armed forces.

But very few had, for a last name, ROMNEY.

...we don’t want to surrender our claim to have the sole authority to perform valid Christian ordinances such as baptism and marriage.

Charles had better get over to a MORMON 'temple' if he REALLY wants the job done RIGHT!!

[Elsie]

Here you have it; folks!!

---

...we want it both ways: we want to be recognized as Christian by other Christians but, at the same time, we don’t want to grant reciprocal recognition to other denominations.

If I am your enemy now then tell me, if I’m not, then quit acting as though I am.

No, I do NOT consider you an enemy; but I WILL not stop replying to things that I see posted.

Can't you see that this was a RED FLAG to me?

They fear them because Mormons stand up for what they believe and are not hypocrites.

Look at this thread, look at all threads that you join.

You smother threads, but you never speak as you.

You smother threads, but you never speak as you.

So?

No one wants to hear ME blather on.

FR is about IDEAS, not PERSONALITIES.

Besides...

...SOME folks seem to LIKE being smothered!

[Elsie]

bttt

[ansel12]

Right, FR is about “ideas”, not endless cut and pastes.

No matter though, just leave me out of it.
