I guess Mormons should be on the safe side and start praying to Joseph Smith’s mother.
I’m presuming you skipped over that whole plank in the eye of the mote denouncer thing.
If that’s how you get your jollies there are worse things you could do with your time.
If you are offended by the posts that speak the truth about Mormonism (the stuff the missionaries and members lie about to outsiders) then you don’t know the first thing about Mormonism, or Christianity, or what even the Catholic church says about Mormonism.
Mormons pretend to be Christians, while spitting on Christ. They lie to ‘gentiles’ (all non Mormons even Jews) about some of their doctrines and beliefs in order to appear ‘Christian’. They lie about their history (even the Catholics don’t do that). In short, while Catholics are part of the Body of Christ - Mormons are not. It is Mormon doctrine that makes that so, nothing we say.
BTW, before you complain, you may want to do some research or actually give us a chance. We are warning others and protecting Christianity. More akin to the Swiss guard than to Muslims.

What plank in my eye? My doctrine is sound, biblically.
And this isn’t fun, it is tiresome. I get tired of being lied about, lied to, and called names because I speak the truth.
Just like telling liberals the truth, it isn’t fun but it is VERY necessary and what God has called me to do. I know Mormonism better than most - I used to be one.
I am not on an anti-mormon crusade, I am however going to expose mormonISM for the anti-Christian and blasphemy teachings.....something God says we are to do.
psst, Why are you so interested in comparing everything to porn and Viagra? I find that just weird.
huh? What does that even mean?
I am offended by the obsession that you have with Mormonism and the mean spirited pettiness of many of the posts, along with bold face, large font capitals that spam the whole the page.
It makes the whole crusade look like a giant graffiti attack by a bunch red necks, who have nothing better to do than worry about others beliefs.
I have an idea then, get off the thread then your sensibilities wont be offended.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

If you do not wish to see RF posts, do NOT use the “everything” option on the Free Republic browse option list. Instead, browse by “News/Activism.” When you log back in, the browse will reset to “everything” - so be sure to set it back to “News/Activism.”
I don’t log out.
Then just click on News/Activism, instead of Everything
So, I should log out and then where do I go to choose just news and activism. I would have done this years ago if I knew how to do it.
No, on the right hand side of the page there is a headline that says browse by forum, just click on the news activism not the everything.
Or the other page simply has forums, just click on news activism not all of the above.
Oh, blah blah blah. Stop telling me you THINK you KNOW what I believe. You do not know my heart and you cannot read my mind. You are deceived about my Church. I do not belong to a cult and I am not brainwashed.
Mormons are a peculiar people; that much is true.
Jesus died for me to save me from my sins. Amen. That’s all you need to know about me.
Seriously?
You send 50,000 missionaries a year into the calling us blasphemy and Chores of Babylon.
Who should be offended?
Further you tell everyone they are not worthy but using your construct not God’s.
In your religion one works regularly to prove themselves worthy.
In ours it isn’t possible to prove yourself worthy. God says all are not worthy and fallen short of the glory of God.
He never speaks again about how we can show or prove ourselves worthy. In fact, the reason you can’t is God’s gift to us can never be earned ....it’s a gift.
In your world The Pearl of Great Price, which has to be an outright creative expansion of The Three Great Parables and clear plagiarism.
Funny when the Bible clearly demands “not one jot or till” will be changed.
Then again, there would be no reason for Joseph Smith and LDS. You know all that.
So we have either a conflict in beliefs or a disagreement. Consider it both.
You really haven’t studied Protestant beliefs or Catholic either nearly asmmuch we have studied PoGP, D&C’s, BOM and every last Student Manual ....All of them.
There is no mystery in understanding your beliefs but really, you have a cultural problem of self perceived martyrs.
The 1860’s are over. You’ve established yourself as the only legitimate alternative to hell and damnation as all other religions are an abomination of idolators.
Funny you bring up Moslem as a good many of your Prophets and leaders have identified LDS as having more in common with them than any other religion.
Not something I’d want to say I have in common....ever.
You are aware of everything to which I’ve just eluded, I’m guessing???
Look, you’re on this thread expressing you’ve been insulted.
Why not read the so called spam, it’s part of the education and discussion and comment on it. Your dissent without oppositional argument isn’t useful to anyone and doesn’t advance a single idea....
the word is Purgatory from the word “purge.”
Where are you getting the misleading information about money paid for indulgences in the current church? It is not true. Why do you think this is true?
You are correct I can not read your mind nor know your heart however I know mormonISM.
I know mormonISM very well and what you are proclaiming is not what they teach.
My experiences with mormonISM goes back fifty years, I know it I lived it I will expose it.
Sandy does not know about mormonISM, why would you think that she would know anything about Catholicism.
I am offended by the obsession that you have with Mormonism ...who have nothing better to do than worry about others beliefs.

My ‘obsession’ as you call it, is because I used to be Mormon. I know these people and I LOVE these people. I know what they believe, what the LDS church teaches, and how they are taught to lie to outsiders to make the LDS church look good.
I even was called to serve a 18 month LDS mission (knocking door to door).
My ‘obsession’ is really the love of Mormons and the love of Christ - who rescued me from sin, death and Hell and rescued me from Mormonism. I want them to know there is a much better way. If I hated them I would just let them be and not tell them the truth.
The other part of it is I don’t want people to fall for their lies like I did. As a Christian it is my duty to warn others of false teachers, false doctrine, false beliefs and wolves in sheeps clothing.
Do I have other things I would rather do? Sure. But for the true believer in Christ, there is nothing better to do than to bring people to Christ and when dealing with Mormons the first step in that is making them see that Mormonism isn’t ‘true’. Been there, done that and have seen God work wonders with LDS people I have witnessed to and ‘obsessed’ over.
I don’t worry about other Christian’s beliefs, because if we agree on the CORE doctrines (there is actually a list of core doctrines) I consider them my brothers and sisters in Christ. However, I do worry about the beliefs of those who are headed for Hell, because of my faith in Christ.
Frankly, I don’t care if I offend you. I don’t do this to be popular and I don’t care what anyone other than my Lord God thinks about me.
So go ahead, hate me, swear at me, make fun of me - I have thick skin and it isn’t anything I haven’t heard before. I am doing what God has called me to do, and what other so-called ‘christians’ refuse to do and that is share the gospel of grace with those who are lost - and Mormons are VERY VERY lost.
