The LDS would never do anything like that. Indeed they would perish the thoughts of even the natives having anything flashy, at least as flashy as their new Temple their fillings would pay for...

He emphasized the need to sacrifice for temple building and shared how members in Argentina found ways to donate during the construction of the São Paulo Brazil Temple. They gave the gold from their dental work to help pay for the temple. He said that he had purchased some of the gold fillings for more than the market price to share with congregations the nature of the sacrifice made by these members (Church News, 9 May 1998).

Did you think I was a Pentecostal?

I’m not. I do grieve for the person who was abused.

You’re hard to understand, OMM. I think you should stick
with kicking Baptists and Billy Graham (I have no connection
there either, but it’s at least familiar territory for you).

Best,
ampu

At least I didn’t spell it:

“Horseapple”.

In North Texas, the OO tree used to be used for the corner post on fence lines.

You are right. It is creepy, and scary. I cannot believe that Freeplancer has not yet been banned, this kind of behavior towards a fellow FReeper is appalling and should not be tolerated.

Jimmy (his name is on his “about” page) constantly harasses others. Just because he feels the need to put out his name and hometown does not mean that all of us feel so comfortable. FR is not a “closed” site, anyone can read these posts. many of us enjoy the anonymity of FR, not because we have “something to hide” as Jimmy accuses us of (again on his “about” page) but for our own safety. Those who would oppose us politically should not be fed info of a personal nature.

Grey, I am sorry you have to be subject to stalking by a small minded little boy with nothing better to do than to spend time profiling your RL.

Matthew 5:10 - Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I was under the impression that posting another’s personal information in order to compromise their screen name resulted in immediate banning.

If someone doesn’t mind sharing their own personal information, that’s their business. They have to deal with the consequences of their own actions. But to do something that could conceivably endanger someone else, is unconscionable. I don’t understand the mindset of someone who would think like that.

I guess there’s something wrong with a religion that doesn’t make a god out of him? Is that what I’m missing?

Perhaps times have changed. Not even a slap on the wrist in this case, evidently.

Interesting. This chaplain who was found guilty of *rape*, by everything the article said, didn’t go out and violently rape anyone. What he did was have affairs with them while he was married.

And this is a problem for a Mormon, why again?

No, it sounds more like your type of church leader.

All I could find was this, he did reveal your city though:

http://www.freerepublic.com/help.htm#guidelines

Don’t violate poster privacy - Don’t reveal online another poster’s phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn’t already made public for everyone on Free Republic. If you are asked for a friend’s email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.

I posted my own name and address soon after joining, it was immediately deleted and I was told not to do that.

Now, a lot of members know my name and where I live..... but not by public forum.

Actually, it is more there is something wrong with a religion that requires humility. To the LDS, humility is a weakness since they believe they are already “children of God” no matter what they do.

freeplancer Freeps no more.

Colofornian, in the future, when you have an article that will most likely turn into a contentious theological dispute - post it in the Religion Forum. Thank you.
