Thanks for the Matt Bracken ping.
Elsi,
I always appreciate your comments and read them all and the links. As I attend their several meetings and watch their conference talks I never see most of what you talk and link about.
My understanding of their “Whore of the whole earth” comments is all organizations other than “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.” They by the way donate large sums of money to Catholic Charities and The Salvation Army, what their detractors would say they call the Whore of the whole earth.
While most Christians don’t think they need any help from Mormon Temples and baptisms for the dead I think most realize it doesn’t hurt them and that the Mormons are just trying to be kind by taking the time to do that work, certainly that is the way I see it. Religionists in the 19th century said a lot of things we don’t agree to here in the 21st century.
To me they are nice people who travel the world telling people about The Savior Jesus Christ. Their definition of God may seem a little different but I don’t see how it hurts me. For the most part they seem to be very honest God fearing people.
