Harry seems pretty creepy to me and certainly a product of the Vegas mob.

Now BJ Clinton, he would be a fun neighbor LOL

Putin isn’t Muslim or a suicide bomber either, I don’t understand what Islam has to do with Americans and Mormonism and American history in the context of this thread?

What is your point in talking about Islam to disrupt a thread on Mormonism in America, and one of the causes of the early Republican party?

Crooked is one thing; nihilistic is another.

If Catholic history were to be dredged up, there would be lots of animosity caused in that respect.

I’ve noticed that when I read testimonials on most ex-mormon sites, the person does not go from being mormon to Christian. Rather, they go from being mormon to agnostic. They seem to need a healing period before they come to Christ, if they ever do.

Your mind-reading here is false, and it appears that you are "casting the first stone" by accusing fellow FReepers of being "non-Christian". Hardly a "Christian" act by YOU!

Another attempt to disrupt this thread...Narses, you may want to address this comment.

I was not stating an opinion (except the “healing period” remark) I was merely stating an observation of what exists on the site, or at least existed back when I read it a few years ago.

And remember, judge not, lest ye be judged.

Well, Cuban leaf is accurate as far as I am concerned. I certainly went through a period of many years as athiest/agnostic before coming to Christ.

You keep bringing up Islam, over and over on this thread about Joseph Smith and America and Mormonism.

What is your point in talking about Islam to disrupt a thread on Mormonism in America, and one of the causes of the early Republican party?

suicide bombers, or Great Plains terrorists of ole - whats the difference? - dead is dead

as for the Caliphate - without boring everyone....Smiths move out west was for what? - clean air?

no - he wanted to establish a little kingdom of his own....much akin to a caliphate

Mountain Meadow was simply an attack party of jihadists

LDS World: Remember the Prophet Joseph Smith's birthday

While members of the church worship and acknowledge the divinity of Jesus Christ, yet they should revere Joseph Smith.From the tender age of 14 his purpose, growing ever more fixed as his life progressed, was to do the will of God and to reestablish on earth Christ's church, the priesthood of God, and all attendant ordinances and covenants necessary for the salvation of mankind.As the Doctrine and Covenants affirms, "Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it."

"It reminds me of the psycho atheists or obsessed leftists n

Derangement syndrome."

The comments here, eg I am making straw men arguments, are examples of the psychopathology.

Ahh, the "old indirect ad hominem" towards posters you disagree with pathology.

Let's not debate the content of the material, but attack the character of the posters.

Well done! /s

You are saying anonymous exmormon is a freeper?

I asked earlier if it was you.

Your a good example of the weirdness.

You say: “Let’s not debate the content of the material, but attack the character of the posters.”

What is there to debate? Nothing. It’s factual as far as I know.

You don’t make sense.

Since Christianity was agrguably started by polygamists, Abraham, Jacob (probably Isaac as well),

You should probably find another religion.

Obviously, God does not look at polygamy in the same way you do.

What you say has merit, I would add that many ex-mormons not only go agnostic, they turn full blown atheist.

They attack the Christian faith in general as a result of the lies the LDS taught to them from childhood.

Others just begin to wander in the wilderness as a result of “being burned”.

Given the choice of having a next door neighbor be Mormon, Islamic, or a Son of Obama, I’m taking Mormon every day of the week.

Extend this parallel & you have "Given the choice of having a next door neighbor to be a liberal Democrat, Islamic, or a Son of Obama, I'm taking the liberal Democrat every day of the week."

And the extended parallel would be, of course, in the very context of a thread where the attacks come aimed at a Freeper who posted a thread about Liberal Democrats...with another FREEPER claiming that the person is "obsessed" about liberal Democrats because he keeps posting threads about them.

ALL: What you NEVER see on FR...is these same arguments used to go after people who post on liberal Dems (they are never called "obsessed" with them) or Islam (they are never called obsessed with Muslims if they post a few threads a month about Islam).

Funny how only Mormonism is defended in this common fashion.

Iow, either these posters are inconsistently religiously hypocritical...you don't find them going after others posting on Islam, Catholicism, or protestantism...or, their arguments readily breakdown because if you apply them to many other topics discussed here on FR forums, nobody takes that angle to go on the offensive against them.

Oh, I’m sorry...

Does “discuss” vs. “debate” work better for you?

Color me concerned about what you think about my “wierdness”. Not.

Typical troll...
