greyfoxx39, as a lady and a proud member of the GOP and a Catholic, it HURTS and DISGUSTS even me to see the anti-Mormon unkind words on this site. A lot of these words are meant to hurt and smear. No one really wants to censor free speech, but as you know, responsibility goes hand-in-hand with it. I don't know the true motivation behind your anti-Mormon postings, but you know darn well that Mr. Romney (or anyone else for that fact) does not want to censor "the rest of the country," as you suggest. I don't know why you are so persistent in your anti-Mormon postings, but maybe it might be time for you to post some uplifting things that we all can be proud of.
The GOP was the party that freed the slaves, gave women the right to vote, and this country was founded on religious freedom. The types of anti-Mormon postings we have seen here go against that. It is fair to question, if it is done respectfully, turthfully, and fairly. May I suggest you lead the way on ceasing these anti-Mormon posts.
Which group --liberals, as in democrats, or conservatives-- tends to be self censoring when it comes to religion?
Do liberals tend to want to censure religion out of public life?
If there is currently a design to squelch exposure of Mormonism, would that work with liberals or mostly with conservative Christians?
After seeing the contention possible over the heretical things in Mormonism do you think the DNC machine and their media sycophancy will eschew exposing every heresy in Mormonism if they believe it will suppress the Conservative Christian vote?
Which candidate for the GOP nomination stands to gain the most if exposure of the heresies in Mormonism is squelch during the primaries?

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. P.S. We’re looking more and more like DU.
So...the readers can know exactly what you are referring to...would you give examples?
If the anti-Mormon posters would even identify their own faith, it would be a step in the right direction. It’s disconcerting that they can’t even be honest about that.
Did you even click on the links I posted at #477?

When the Romney supporters label anyone who doesn't like Romney an anti-Mormon bigot, I have no problems with them actually being on the receiving end of it in response. I'll join your call for curtailing anti-Mormon sentiment from anti-Romney folks if you'll likewise endorse a call to refrain from any and all claims of religious bigotry by Romney folks.

Just HOW many of my posts have you even read? For the most part I post FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE doctrines and practices that are conveniently omitted from posts by the apologists. When I am called names here, and attacked for example by a mormon because My testimony of Jesus Christ did not fit HIS template that the Book of Mormon is true, I don't lie down and whine. HE insists to this day that I "failed to seek correctly."
As nearly as I can tell, you have NOT read the thousands of posts on the threads you are describing, or in fairness you would be adding at least ONE mormon in your "To" line in your post. Why didn't you?
I would be very happy to discuss this issue with you after you have given a fair hearing on the subject by going back and reading some threads, from beginning to end, with an open mind, and SETTING ASIDE any prejudice you may have because you are a feverent Romney supporter.
Please FReepmail me when you have done this.
Frankly IMO, neither Jveritas OR you have bothered to subjectly read these threads. I question whether you have allowed fellow FReepers with which have a common goal to influence you. If you both are SO worried about the image of FR, how can you overlook this from a mormon?
I concur with your post and appreciate your thoughts. You are right, some “very sick puppies” are being exposed here. This is the same spirit that we see on the other side of the world, the Jihadists. We too have fundamentailst who think they must do God’s work by destroying the “enemy.” Ours too attack from the shadows and won’t identify themselves. That is, they know they are doing dirty work, so they won’t say what church or religion they represent. However, by the details of their posts, we know they are fundamentalist Evangelicals. They are like the "sons of thunder" who wanted to bring down fire onto a city, to whom Jesus said, "Ye know not what spirit ye are of."
Well said.
Have you ever read, Mitt Romney, the Mormon (What’s That?!), by Father Jonathan Morris?
