It is not a discussion. It is gratuitous shot after shot. They are not the traditional and proper opponents of FR.

Bottom line, my policy is to keep the discussion threads regarding Mormonism in the RF with other religious topics.

The numerous times I was engaged by Mormons and their “friends” on the RF typically included “gratuitous shot after shot”. Being accused of being a bigot, compared to nazi’s, a hater and deceiving my wife, etc.

Why? Because after leaving “the church”, I “dared” to challenge Mormonism and discuss it here on FR.

I guess I “deserved” it, huh?

Anti-Bubba, I joined FR to discuss politics. I certainly didn’t come to discuss religion, but when I joined FR I was also a baby Christian, one who had found Christ after a lifetime as a Mormon. I was soooo excited.

Imagine my dismay when I found out that FR was being used as a proselyting tool for Mormonism.

My very first post about Mormonism was on the New/activism page on a thread a Mormon posted about the wonderful growth of their religion - most of which was just an outright lie.

I simply said, “they count me (as a member), I don’t count them.”

I don’t know if you were around at the time, but some of the Mormon posters here said really negative things about my character like: “You just want to sin,” “Couldn’t cut the mustard?” “You are a liar to call yourself a Mormon”....etc. etc.

I decided right then and there to post what I know about the Mormon religion, and how it differs from Christianity. It isn’t that I hate individual Mormons. I’ve mentioned it a few thousand times on FR that my husband, my mother, my brother, my in-laws, my neighbors, my friends are Mormon.

If Mormons are allowed to post about their Mormonism, why should I not be allowed to post about my Christianity and how I came to be a Christian and how it differs from Mormonism. Do you think I should just STHU and let Mormons tell a one-sided story or outright lie to Freepers in the hopes that they will get converts from the good conservative Christians here.

Well, God doesn’t. He demands that I speak. JimRob allows it. He is a good Christian man. I too asked for a voice here. I asked that my speech not be silenced, and as long as I obey RM or JimRobs rules, I am allowed to do so. It is a tactic of the left to call opposing opinions “hate.” You should ask yourself why the Mormons do it.

Nice job Anti that you and you alone are the seer of what is traditional and proper

Just as side note, please inform us what information posted about Mormonism from Mormon sources is incorrect.

Well; it IS a bit like Whack-a-Mole.
