Can we please keep comments about the Mormon faith off the political discussion threads?
one man's opinion...

Posted on 05/24/2011 4:07:08 PM PDT by ken5050

As we enter the GOP primary season, I'm starting to notice more and more an annoying trend here in FR. It seems as though everytime there's an article, or someone posts a comment about Romney, either pro or con, it nearly always devolves into an extended, and acrimonious discussion about the Mormon faith. Those who defend it, and those who, for whatever reasons, can't abide it, both sides seem determined to wage an "end of times" batte on all the FR threads. Frankly, I'm tired of it, and just wish it would stop. I think that probably 99% of others here feel the same way.

Any reasons for that?

Yes.

If brought to light; it'll interfer with Smith's canonization proceedings...

those were the days

Indeed. I first found out about FR by watching coverage of the March for Justice on C-SPAN. Reading the commentary here help me cut through the MSM pro-Clinton propaganda to help get the facts. There were kooks, of course, but mostly they were held down to a dull roar - then shown the door if they wouldn't behave.

You look at a site like RedStae, where Senators, and presidential candidates, post their comments...could that ever happen here?..nah...

It could, of course, but the impetus has to come from the management. Unfortunately, there's a lot of water under the bridge to be undone to recover FR's earlier reputation. Difficult, but not impossible. Might help with the fundraising as well; the last FReepathon took quite a while to reach its goal.

No, because it IS a political issue.

I expect to be able to vote for a candidate with good judgement.

We don’t have to overlook a candidate and their nutball beliefs.
It’s called vetting the candidate.

I'm glad you brought this up because you personally are the reason I no longer contribute.

I have to laugh at the few people who continue to use the services of FR while boasting that they refuse to pay their fair share unless their right to free speech overrides the same right of others. How patriotic.

I agree with ken5050 as well, but as you can see even this thread has turned into a Mormon-bash.

Any place that a MORMON has the nerve to start spouting any of their HERESY will turn in to a BASH.

Bold
ANTIs
Spotlighting
Heresy

No need to alienate all LDS in the process.

Oh they LOVE it!

It gives them reason to live.

If they ain't bein' 'victimized'; they ain't HAPPY!

In their eyes; it PROVES they are right.

As I look at the Jewish faith, the rejection of Jesus as the Messiah is indeed what I believe will constitute a make-or-break aspect of how Judgment Day will begin to be sorted out.

As I look at the MORMON religious organization, the HELPING of Jesus in His messianic work is what I believe will constitute a make-or-break aspect of how Judgment Day will begin to be sorted out as well.

So is Joseph Smith.

A ‘true’ prophet should have KNOWN not to go to that jail!

Obviously, they don't.

The "original" Church of the First Born (not the Mormon society of the same name) used to have a "one man, one wife, one time" practice, and a clever guy could work his way through the congregation over a period of years simply by successfully impregnating a woman.

Been trying for years to find information that would explain that practice ~ best I could find was something called "indeterminent infertility" which can affect half the offspring of someone carrying the right autosomal recessive disorder.

I've figured out the ethnicity relationship but there's more to it than that.

Syncro to ozarkgirlHmmm, after seeing you complain of "bashing" when there is none, you accuse more than one poster of drinking because you don't like what they posted.

Just a bit hypocritical, don'tcha think?

I love it when freeloading hypocrites set themselves up as a shining light. Gives me the warm fuzzies...;0)...and it sounds VERY mormonish, don't ya think?

Yeah; the 'reputation' that MORMONs could post away like crazy and NOT be held accountable for their words.

The innovative "brilliance" of some FREEPER suggestions sometimes underwhelms me!

It's beautiful, isn't it?
