Can we please keep comments about the Mormon faith off the political discussion threads?

one man's opinion...

[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.

...I see where you are now seeking special feminism treatment as you have been tricking all the morgbots into believing that you are in real life the Relief Society President.

Not all; just a few 'special' ones!

... even if it gets me banned.

Was it THIS thread that I said that MORMONs like playing the victim?

[Jim Robinson]

Don’t push me. Your zot will come soon enough I’m sure about that. You can’t help yourself from trolling and bad mouthing FR and our posters.

[Elsie]

At this rate you’ll NEVER catch up to the end of this thread!

[Tennessee Nana]

Yeah but a better candidate couldnt have landed on the beast number

[Godzilla]

No du, the mormon method is what is pathetic. Or are you now claiming that your prophets and apostles were spreading false teachings?

But then you can’t explain how Mary became pregnant any other way now, can you. Mormon turkey baster doctrine of du. Who’s your daddy.

BTW, the bible throughly refutes the mormon claim - it was by the power of the Holy Ghost that Mary became pregnant. Try reading your bible some time.

[Tennessee Nana]

Men can’t get into heaven with out a spouse either.

UYou need to read more of your mormon doctrines

Heber C Kimball disagrees with you

Heber C Kimball, a member of the First Presidency, had forty-five wives, but he claimed that in the resurrection he would be able to have thousands:

Supposing that I have a wife or a dozen of them, and she should say, “You cannot be exalted without me,” and suppose they all should say so, what of that? ... Suppose that I lose the whole of them before I go into the spirit world, but that I have been a good, faithful man ... do you think I will be destitute there. No, the Lord says there are more there than there are here ... there are millions of them, ... we will go to brother Joseph and say, “Here we are brother Joseph; we are here ourselves are we not, with none of the property we possessed in our probationary state, not even the rings on our fingers?” He will say to us, “Come along, my boys, we will give you a good suit of clothes. Where are your wives?” “They are back yonder; they would not follow us.” “Never mind,” says Joseph, “Here are thousands, have all you want” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 4, p.209).

You have missed quite a few scriptures on the spouse subject.

[Tennessee Nana]

it was by the power of the Holy Ghost that Mary became pregnant.

Not according to the mormons

When the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost. And who is the Father? He is the first of the human family; and when he took a tabernacle, it was begotten by his Father in heaven...” (Brigham Young vol. 1, JoD, p. 50)

What a learned idea! Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven. Now, let all who may hear these doctrines pause before they make light of them, or tract them with indifference, for they will prove their salvation or damnation....remember from this time forth, and for ever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost. (Brigham Young, Vol. 1, JoD, p. 51)

[Enosh]

May I oppose Romney because he looks like Dracula?

[donozark]

RE:Your post #660. Difference between Romney/Obama? I don’t know that Romney would work to destroy Israel as Obi and his hell-sent thugs are.

[Elsie]

What they do is say, "Here. Read the Book of Mormon. Pray to God about it. Ask Him to put in your heart the knowledge of whether it is true or false."

What they DON'T say...

"Here. Read the Doctrines & Covenants.
Read the Pearl of Great Price.
Read the Joseph Smith 'translation' of the King James Bible..

Pray to God about it.
Ask Him to put in your heart the knowledge of whether THEY are true or false."

[Elsie]

That’s just twisted s*** you’re layin’ down.

TELL me about it!

Why do mormon guys have a spouse in the mormon afterlife ???

To gain a Mother-in-law!

Who will FOREVER harangue them about how her daughter could have done SO much better!

[Elsie]

I have taken this test, I have applied it to the Book of Mormon, and I got an answer.

So?

So have MILLIONS of folks.

And THEY did NOT get the 'answer' that YOU did.

Ain't GOD capricious! ;^)

[Elsie]

Can I stay and be me, or am I banned for being who I am and have been since April of 2003?

Let's BAN him!

His smug whining is REALLY getting pathetic!

[Elsie]

Found It! It was hiding in your post!

And, being 'the person you are', it will STAY hidden!

No need to sully the spirits of those tender souls who frequenct FR.

[Elsie]

Is it swans or pigeons that say, “Coo coo”?

[Elsie]

“Paragraph 3 deliberately avoids making statements about a number of controversial issues.

Ha!

That's NOTHING!!

You want DEFINITIVE?

Here is MORMONism's own creed:

Articles of Faith

The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

 

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541

 

 

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
   
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
   
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
   
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
   
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
   
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
   
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
   
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
   
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
    
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
    
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
    
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Joseph Smith
