I met my first mormon in 1968
She was the very devil towards me and I could not figure out what I was supposed to have done to her
She destroyed my belongings, drummed up trouble between me and my coworkers and tried to get me fired
19 year old me had seldom met anyone like her
After aqbout 6 weeks she kleft in a huff because our bosses would not OBEY her and fire me...
One of my bossses showed me all the literature that the mormon missionary had been giving her and explained she belongwe3d to a cult like the Exclusive Brethren
She had me promise I would never get mixed up with the mormons
after her explanations and the books and pamplets on Mormonism, I was well equainted in thart one afternoon with the anti-Christianity of the cult...
It turns out that after a friend of mine had invited her to our Christian church she had gone straight to the bosses and ordered them to fire me...
apparantly inviting a mormon to a Christian church is an insult...
The employees all had thought she was a strict Christian but she never spoke of her mormon beliefs to us
we were all just little workers
She was after our rich land owning bosses...
and their future tithes...
MONEY: the first letter is in the name of Mormonism
Free Republic’s haters, bigots, and holier-than-thou harpies who wouldn’t know a good Christian or how to act like one if their eternal salvation depended on it.

Well, you don’t know much about Christianity do you.
I left Mormonism because of people who made me mad. Specifically, my desire to prove the ‘anti’s’ wrong, particularly one who
Mormons say terrible things about Christians all the time, and when I spoke out against that (when I was LDS) I was labeled an ‘apostate sympathizer’.
Now, in person and with my LDS friends I am much more gentle, although I am still firm about the truth.
On FR, I am constantly attacked, told I have mental issues and insulted for telling the TRUTH about Mormon teachings and doctrine.
I won’t back down and I won’t compromise the truth. I can’t do that, it would be unchristian.
And I am much more civil than the LDS are to me. Just saying...why don’t you criticize them?
using the Bible along with personal anecdotes due to your own life’s experiences isn’t haughty just because it offends you
You need ot examine whether what you are offended by is the truth or not, after all, maybe it’s YOU who are wrong.
I know a lot more church going fundamentalists who are good people, too, and they dont attend a so-called cult that attacks Christians as being apostate just because their cult leader said so 180 years ago
Any Jewish people in Utah? There must be some. I wonder how they feel being considered "gentiles"?
I am a member of the family of Jesus Christ, first and foremost a Christian, A child of Abraham by adoption and then and only then, a member of the Baptist faith.
Are your priorities in the right order?
The moment my Pastor deviates from the gospel of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Holy word of God and the only source of scripture, I will drop him and his church like a hot potato.
Fine. A perfect example.
By attack you appear to mean make pathetic gurgling noises while being barely coherent and infrequently rising to the level of meaningless, pissant, drivel.
Even if one such as yourself could manage the occasional coherent rhetorical flourish, calling such a thing an attack will never be mistaken for religious persecution.
Perhaps you are a tad overwrought.
But remember, “Christians ARE NOT PERFECT, just FORGIVEN”.

Christians are not “devotees”
See ???
theres another difference between our 2 religions
Christians are believers
Now pagan cult worshippers like those of Cali and other Satanic entities are called “devotees”
Oops, I dropped the word (to). My excuse? Sweet Hubby had just announced that the sausages were off the grill. Yum!
They do have a way of coming slithering back with new screen names don't they? (Rhetorical)
TRUE.
Two brand new ones on this thread.
To the Mormon , it is a lifestyle , and not just an hour or two , weekly religious celebration.

I don’t know a single true believing Christian that thinks it is just an hour or two or a weekly religious celebration. It is a life for Christians.
For Mormons, it is less of a lifestyle than it is a culture.
BTW, your assumption of the mormon ‘lifestyle’ (no lying, no cheating, no stealing , no assault , no covet, etc.) is directly CONTRARY to actual Mormonism. They ‘lie for the Lord’ and to gentiles, they cheat on their taxes, Utah is the highest white collar crime state, and they covet at lot and are very obsessed with materialism as wealth is considered ‘proof’ they are living the LDS gospel.
Been there, done that.
More like an “Anti-Christian” alert. And Mormons are very anti-Christian.
I’m guessing re-tread, the graphic the first day of sign up is a dead giveaway.
I think from the looks of things true Christians are going to have to get rather tuff skinned.

Agreed. But then again, most of us have been on the RF for awhile now and we are kind of used to it.
INDEED.
