Sounds a lot like islam, you know, the chosen people and all. Spare me from those types.
Mormonism's founding "prophet," Joseph Smith was a lot like Mohammed -- deceitful, paranoid, murderous, licentious and full of venom toward Christians -- "...the Harlot Catholic Church and her Bastard Offspring Protestants..." -- the more I read the core Mormon church documents, the more sickened I am by that "faith."
So you are Richard Packham
Now it is all so clear...
....yikes how creepy!
Richard Packham is Richard Packham.
I am Bonaparte.
That's why the heading of the article makes it clear that I (Bonaparte) revised Richard Packham's list of questions for Romney.
Guess it wasn't as "clear" as you thought, restornu.
You can now go back to your usual murky confused state.
Had you been paying any attention at all to the discussion on this thread, you would know that --
Richard Packham is a self-described atheist, but I (Bonaparte) am a Southern Baptist believer.
Richard Packham is an ex-mormon, but I (Bonaparte) have never even been in a mormon temple.
By the way, shouldn't you be out somewhere doing "good works" so that you'll get to become a god and rule your own planet?
“I’m also guessing that, if the one-year waiting period between the civil ceremony and the temple “sealing” was in effect, he probably got a waiver on that rule.”
I served my mission in England and they don’t (or didn’t at the time) recognize a temple sealing as a legal marriage, so couple had to be married civilly, and after that they can be sealed with no waiting period. It is not a matter of exceptions being made for prominent persons, exceptions are made for all who live in a jurisdiction where they must get a civil wedding first.
"I just googled Richard Packman's name. He's an atheist and ex-mormon. He is also a flaming Lib."
That's the very first thing Rameumptom says in his post 166, so you should have no trouble locating this statement within the text of that post.
Then, in post 194, TAdams8591, who has been your steadfast ally on this thread, identifies me (Bonaparte) as Baptist.
Do you see the difference between Richard Packham and me (Bonaparte) now?
Can you see that it's really not possible to be a believing Baptist conservative and an atheistic ex-mormon liberal at the same time? This means that it's not possible for me (Bonaparte) to be Richard Packham (who is not Bonaparte, but is Richard Packham).
If you study all of this information, I think you'll agree that I (Bonaparte) am not Richard Packham afterall.
Thanks for your input, Grig.
For a Baptist, you sure have a confusin' outlook.
(yea, that's meant as sarcasm)
I'd sure hate to think the 'me' that ain't me is being me without me knowing I'm not me but some other 'me', you get me?
But OTOH, that sure would be rich -- get it? "Rich"?
Oh, man, that's funny. I've got to run that one by my good friend, restornu.
Cleaver became a Mormon in 1984. Gladys Knight is a Mormon as well...does that mean if I listen to “Midnight Train to Georgia” that I’m going to burn in the eternal fires of Hell?
He is also is Same sex wow any port in a storm for you Bonaparte the Ends Justify the Means rriiiiighht......
But being a complex theological question, it's above my pay grade.
Have you asked your pastor/priest/rabbi or other spirtual advisor?
If and when you do that, let me know what you find out.
I love "Midnight Train to Georgia" and I'd hate to have to delete it from my hard drive and CDs, along with "Neither One of Us."
(Dontcha just love the way the Pips sing "neitheroneofus" in that song?)
Restornu, on second thought, forget about going out and doing all those good works.
I can see that you already got your own planet and speak its language.
Jeepers, I almost completely forgot about that piece of info, on account of being seriously flipped out that I might have to stop listening to Gladys sing.
Just looked up more info on Cleaver. After he joined the mormon church in 1984, he divorced his wife and became a crack cocaine addict (late 1980s), was convicted of crack possession and burglary (1992), and then nearly died in a fight over drugs (1994), before dying at age 62 (1998).
I'm sure his mormon reliance on prayer for revelation helped bring him through all these trying ordeals.
