Syncro - what you will not hear from du on this subject was that the poster JR was responding to was ABUSING the RF Caucus rules by posting articles hostile to Christianity in a forum that restricted comments. The mormon got into JR's face and he zotted him - like he has done to many other non-mormons. Du's link is to another mormon who was zotted by JR because he was blog pimping and then personally attacking Freepers on the website he was trying to lure them to in order to ambush them. All the while this same mormon was dissing FR. Once again, du will not provide you the full context of the setting - because the facts speak loudly against him.
One person's abuse is another person's appropriate use.
JR is completely within his rights to Zot anyone not following the standards of conduct he has established here, it's his house. However, the comments made by JR on that thread and the subsequent removal of the Mormon Caucus were not in keeping with even handed and fair treatment. One poster gets an entire religion in trouble and get's opponents of that religion a free pass to break other rules?
It was not handled well. We all have bad days. I had hoped that upon reflection Jim would rectify the situation. He has not. His house is now one that I have had to block access to fro my kids where I used to encourage them to come and learn of politics here.
Actions have consequences. I make no excuses for PD, he was wrong. I also make no excuses for JR, he was wrong too.
BTW, Godzilla, ya gonna acknowledge that you were wrong here or not?

So, JR can make rules that allow the ambushing of Mormons, but getting people to come to anther site to be ambushed that's just evil mean and nasty! Hypocrite much?
JFTR, I don't approve of that tactic either, it's just where I could find the quote.
Lastly, the facts never speak loudly, they whisper with a still small voice. Satan is the guy with the megaphone, but you can still hear the truth if you listen.
The Jews don't believe the Trinity, the First and Second century Christians Don't believe the Trinity, but in 325 AD, the Trinity becomes doctrine.
And of course du must lie about the numerous references and writings regarding the Trinity hundreds of years PRIOR to Nicea.
There was indeed a schism in the church about it, but you can't find a thing written by the apostles or in the bible that does not have to be interpreted with circular logic to get to the Trinity. (Of course they meant the Trinity, because the Trinity is what they were talking about...)

You want fair handedness go join the Democrats. I’m the most unfair bastard I know. I’m extremely biased toward the one true God and the KJV bible (without additional books, thank you very much). And my bible commands me to be suspicious of false prophets and false prophecy. Sorry, but I just cannot believe that Joe Smith or any other leader of the Mormon church is a true prophet of God. Or that the book of MORMON is the Word of God. On this I will not bend. That’s just the way it is. Anyone who cannot handle that is welcome to leave FR.

One person's abuse is another person's appropriate use. Notice here Syncro how the du spins the subject. The RF rules were clear about caucuses, yet the mormon violated the spirit and function of those rules, then got mouthy to the OWNER of the site because he felt the mormon 'rules' superseded FR rules. See how du manipulates the story line.
However, the comments made by JR on that thread and the subsequent removal of the Mormon Caucus were not in keeping with even handed and fair treatment. One poster gets an entire religion in trouble and get's opponents of that religion a free pass to break other rules?
As JR has already warned you - this is his house - you can leave any time. Further, du hasn't learned that life isn't fair - time for him to get over that. However, this board is orders of magnitude fairer than any mormon board on the planet.
I also make no excuses for JR, he was wrong too.
I disagree du - PD was abusing the system and was ignorant to push back at the rules laid out. JR was well within his rights to put a stop to it. You don't like it - take it up with the man.
So, JR can make rules that allow the ambushing of Mormons, but getting people to come to anther site to be ambushed that's just evil mean and nasty! Hypocrite much?
Wow, man up and address JR directly on that issue DU
Before JR zotted SPAMLDS, 'ol spammy was bad mouthing freepers on his website. spammy also gave his camp followers heads up that he was bringing fresh meat over from FR. A large part of JR's zot was in defense of freepers. Now are you claiming that JR's site is set up to ambush mormons? Perhaps you should address it to the man.
There was indeed a schism in the church about it, but you can't find a thing written by the apostles or in the bible that does not have to be interpreted with circular logic to get to the Trinity.
As there have been other schisms when heretical teachings have tried to force their way into the main stream. That doesn't negate the doctrine nor the fact. Further, at no time was the early church polytheistic - so much for mormon restoration.

Your interpretation of the Catholic Encyclopedia has been refuted many times DU - you lie about the meaning of the words used, you lie about what the writers meant when they wrote it and you live in a fantasy world thinking that the writers were coerced into writing what the did write.
