We don't need to read it. Its always the same people, posting the same stuff day after day. We get it...you don't like Mormons. Its a cult. They're cultists. They're not Christians. They wear weird underwear.

The truth is, Mormonism turns out some incredible people. They're selfless, generous, kind and hugely moral. Every Mormon I have ever known has extraordinary character and humility.

They would never mount a neverending assault on another religion and, above all, they're all much better people than you and the others who attack them.

You should think about converting.

No dislike of mormons, exposing of mormonism.
Based on your statements, you apparently know nothing of mormonism or greyfoxx39.
As a side note this is the religion forum.
As a side note this is a discussion of mormonism.
As a side note if you have a dispute about the words of mormonism, post them rather than attacking/disparaging the poster.

HAH!

We find it hilarious that you mormonism defenders get your underwear in a knot about the posting of factual mormon doctrine from mormon sources by a few dozen FReepers at the same time that your leaders are bragging about the following:

We are grateful for the 52,225 full-time missionaries serving in more than 150 countries.16 The sun never sets on righteous missionaries testifying of the Savior mormon church. Think of the spiritual power of 52,000 missionaries, endowed with the Spirit of the Lord Joseph Smith, boldly declaring that there is “no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come … , only in and through the name of Christ. mormon church temple rituals

"My young brethren of the priesthood, I testify of the majesty, but most of all, of the certainty of this magnificent event. The Savior lives. He will return to the earth (the Second Coming) . And whether on this side of the veil or the other, you and I will rejoice in His coming and thank the Lord that He sent us to earth at this time to fulfill our sacred duty of helping prepare the world for His return the mormon theocracy

."other people, who may not yield full obedience to his laws, nor be fully instructed in his covenants, will, nevertheless, have to yield full obedience to his government. For it will be the reign of God upon the earth, and he will enforce his laws, and command that obedience from the nations of the world which is legitimately his right” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor [2001], 225).

Preparing the World for the Second Coming-LDS.org, April 2011

Anyone who believes that Romney isn't fully immersed in this doctrine and the Law of Consecration is a fool: The Law of Consecration is considered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a "celestial law." That is, people who are living lives dedicated to the service of God, such that at judgment they would be assigned to the Celestial Kingdom, should be able and expected to live the Law of Consecration. The Law of Consecration is that, if necessary or requested, a person would give everything he has for the building up of the Kingdom of God on Earth. He would be willing to wholeheartedly give of his time, talents, and resources. Thus, the person is "consecrating" all his personal resources to the Lord.

“The law of consecration,” said Elder Bruce R. McConkie (1915–85) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “is that we consecrate our time, our talents, and our money and property to the cause of the Church; such are to be available to the extent they are needed to further the Lord’s interests on earth.” Mormon Temple Covenants

Don't know if you are a mormon Deb - but you don't know mormonism' foundations that still carry through to today. You blow past their PR front and their underlying DOCTRINE is that they are the only true church and that all other churches are apostate, of the devil and condemned to hell. Those are in the missionary teachings, their doctrinal standard works as well as the historic messages of their apostles and prophets.

Smith started the attack by calling all other churches apostate (first vision). In his book of mormon he lists mormonism as the only true church and the others the church of the devil (1 Nephi 14:10). In their doctrinal teaching manual "Gospel Principles" Ch 22 they still cite the "Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball" to say that what today's churches are "called Christianity". And that they are in and total darkness (Milton R. Hunter, “The Missionary Assignment,” Improvement Era, Dec. 1951, 920).

If you are a mormon Deb - if you are going to be honest, you need to admit that your 50,000 missionaries carry this message on a daily basis. That equates to a never ending assault on another religion. And if you are not - then study what Mormonism teaches as doctrine regarding non-mormonity and not the slick PR they put forth for public consumption.

"They would never mount a neverending assault on another religion..."

I would suggest you read the history of mormonism and the "First Vision" account, all 13 or so of them, before making a claim like that.

Google up some of Brigham Young's Journals of Discourses and some of the other self-proclaimed "prophets" of mormonism as well.
