* Sources where at best, only 25% of Lds converts are being retained...
* How in Brazil, the discrepancy between the 2010 Brazilian census and the Lds church record for Mormons is over 80%!!! (Almost a million off!)
* Even when you get to the 200,000+ Brazilians who do deem themselves "Mormon," their inactivity rate is high, leaving just a "pittance" matching Lds claims.
* In Sweden, the Lds church had to issue a "Swedish Rescue" paper to try to stave off mass apostasy -- some occurring among its top leadership.
* In India, the Lds church as of circa 2003, only had 52 missionaries in this -- one of the most populous nations of the world. [Note also that the Lds are hardly represented in THE most populous nation, China; and its history of racism led to not even attempting to Mormonize Africa for a century and a half]
* Ministries to Mormons are also popping up in the UK.
You like that Obama guy over the Mormon, don’t you?
No he’s pulling for someone else who doesn’t have a chance. Of course if you won’t vote for Romney because he’s Morman, it’s the same as voting for the muslim dictator.
They are the same! "Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!"
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."
You unprincipled conservatives are just going to drop your principles a little more and do like the democrats and vote two or three times for Romney.
(a) Do you have some "Magic 8-ball" or some peepstone -- some Mormon rock (what they call a Mormon urim & thummim) -- that allows you to get an "exact" reading once a "Christian" has been 100% "filled" with pride? How are you able to judgmentally determine the inward nature of complete strangers? (Enough to pronounce public judgment of them, anyway?)
(b) So you -- thru the above type of devices or some other means -- carry the omniscient power to determine who is -- or isn't a "Christian?"
(c) And the bottom-line question about how you seem to perfectly 'refute' yourself: If you're apparently -- allegedly -- so "down" on others who "judge" others...If you "frown" upon this...pray tell, why are you openly judging others with your tagline? Are you not "guilty" of the very charge you accuse others with? If you were truly averse to judgmentalism, wouldn't you run the exact opposite direction to avoid being linked to judging others?
ALL: Isn't this the height of religious hypocrisy on display by Loud Mime, whose very moniker selected is a contradiction in itself?
A winner only took till post #2 to make it about the poster not the information.
Standing on God's Word vs. bowing to the godless. Who has the better chance?
Romney because he’s Morman, it’s the same as voting for the muslim dictator.
Not so - Only in your deceived fearful mind.
You seem convinced a Mormon bishop doesn't have 'dictates'. People suffer because of a lack of knowledge.
Yet, you appear to have zero problem with Mormonism which is by its very nature and foundation anti-Christian.
As an aside, you do realize that making accusatory replies to a person in the religion forum about their mind set is in fact pride-filled and judgmental - right?
It's the only thing he ever posts, it's way past being old, it's obsessive, divisive, flame bait.
Since he's had to have his own thread pulled because of the flame fest, you think he might learn?
Maybe he likes dividing FR, agenda maybe?
I understand that some people think that, it’s easy stay off the religion forum threads if it bothers you.
Exposure of Mormonism has been going on since before 2002, for some reason it just now seems to be an issue.
Some of these threads are pulled not because of the poster, but because those who are angry about the exposure of Mormonism.
Enjoy the flame war.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Then you may not have realized that this post is in the religion forum.
To avoid them, just click on news and not everything.
(OK, I said I wouldn't include you in a ping, but if you're going to come into a thread I've started, engage in deception, then somebody has to hold you accountable...If you're going to engage in DIShonor, then you've forfeited any right to be 100% treated with "honor"...)
So for the record: There was a near 500-post thread that was removed this week...that was NOT "my" thread...I didn't post it...I didn't remove it...the false rumor that I somehow had anything to do with the posting of that thread was a repeat false accusation made at least three times on that thread by NoGrayZone, for which he/she/ -- "it" as 'GrayZone likes to say -- apologized on that very thread for spreading that false information...now YOU are repeating that false information...for which, you, too, need to apologize...
ALL: Note these sources of false information...and know what kind of lack of credibility emerges from them...They are untrustworthy souls in almost anything they may utter...
But, ALL, let's give a round of "applause" to certain posters here...for providing a "platform" as to why hell exists: All of our very sins have this capability of being "passed on" -- deception embraced by others as "truth." (That's why Jesus' brother, James, said the tongue was like a spark that could start a forest fire).
It doesn't take much these days for people to open their mouths and their keyboards to express false information. And when others take it up and hang on to such deception even for life, worst deceptions than what we've seen here can become adhesive on others for eternity!
RM, I’ll be extra diligent to apply post #13 to myself for the remainder of this thread...hopefully, I won’t feel any need to ping the same poster again...(there are other posters here who could try to “set things straight” if the need arises)...
Who will stand by Isral, the Mormon or the muslim? DUH!
Neither.
Study Mormonism and find out who, where and what Mormonism teaches about Israel and the Jews.
Their job is to 'appear' good. Evil uses whatever he can to deceive.
Who will stand by Isral, the Mormon or the muslim? DUH!
GOD DOES!! as It is Written DUH!
Why are you pinging me to this thread? I have made no comment on it.
I had no idea the other thread was pulled because I had moved on to better things.
Yes, I made a mistake (not your “false information” in which sounds like I did it on purpose) in stating you started the other thread, and I publicly apologized for it.
However, I only said it once, not “at least three times”. Gosh, talk about being untrustworthy.
Again, why ping me to this thread of yours? Not enough “comments” for your liking?
Today is a day of celebration.....Paul Ryan, wooohooo!
I do not intend to diminish my good mood with your hatred of Mormons.
P.S. I am only responding to you to be polite. It’s a good day for America!
