It's a busy time, what with all the wives Smithmas shopping, getting and decorating the Smithmas tree, Smithmas carols, reading of “Twas the night before Smithmas”...

“I know more about the LDS than you apparently do, that is why I am an EX Mormon.”

Unfortunately, your posts belie the fact.

You mean reaganaut is NOT an ex Mormon!?!?

DUDE!

Score for Team LDS!!!

That has got to be several thousands in back tithes alone...

Of course, you know that I’ve had battles w/ you guys on numerous occassions over these issues, so to keep insisting that I’ve never given evidence is kind of silly don’t you think?

Well until you actually do, not really...

I get a kick out of the mormons who show up on threads with absolutely nothing to contribute except to chastise us and inform us that we are on our "bad behavior", speaking from the imaginary heights of their so-called "priesthood authority" as though THAT means something to anyone but a mormon.

That "god in embryo" thingy keeps mormon men so puffed-up with their own importance that they can't see how ridiculous it appears to everyone else.

tsk tsk

The whole thing is so...so....grammar schoolish!

Why do I picture 5-6 of these guys all logged into the SPAMLDS site frantically IMing each other going “we got stop them, receipts are down again this month!” right before one of them logs in here and “gets us” and tells us “others” are watching...

Sad really, but expected...

This is why it’s so hard to talk w/ you folks. You should know that I don’t think she knows jack about the church other than what she gets from the web et al. It was that to which I referred, but I’m sure you knew that.

No reasoned discussion here......move along.

Yup, that's right. Reaganaut posts tons of data, quotes as well as personal experiences from being in the LDS.

You give us...

Um...

Talk.

Lots of talk...

So if Reaganaut knows nothing and your the expert in the position to tell us we are all wrong, you should be able to outpost facts at what, a 10 to 1 ratio?

Yet you don't, and haven't, and never will because you can't...

Hard to talk with us folks? I am sure it is when talk is all you bring to the table in the face of over whelming evidence, facts, quotes, links and excerpts...

BTW, idea for the next meeting, start discussing the shut down of all LDS web sites.

Best way to win a “battle”?

Disarm the opponents...

The clock is ticking, time and tide is running against the LDS in the information age.

And against the banks accounts of LDS Inc. as well...

Oh, so since you can’t respond to the issues/questions/problems, you are back to the old “they must not have ever really been LDS” retort.

I wish to GOD I had never been LDS other than the fact that the inconsistencies caused me to really read the Bible, which led me to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Does this mean I get all my tithing money back?

BTW, Reaganaut, another example of what you have stated so well so many times about how ex-Mormons treat those who leave.

I bet when you were in, and if you were still in, they would proudly boast of having one with your background and education with in their ranks.

Now you are an ignorant buffoon...

Amazing transformation that.

LOL. I knew families in my ward in Utah that would have “Birthday Parties” for Joesph Smith. Christmas was an afterthought.

You mean I can get all my money back? Tithes that I paid to the “Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”?

I still have all the canceled checks.

When we were kids we sang some different words to While Shepherds watched their flocks by Night...but not where adults could hear us..

While Shepherds washed their socks by night
all seated round the tub
The angel with the soap came down
and they began to scrub

Sacrilege but fun

:)

You should know that I don’t think

Well, that is what you get for not thinking.

And I left in the early days of the internet, back when we had to do our own legwork and research to find the issues.

Thank God it is so much easier today. That is why so many more Mormons are leaving these days.

Thank you for confirming my input on this forum.

And how come they NEVER actually answer the questions? We get a question, we respond. All they do is make empty accusations.

Their ad hominum attacks show they are on the losing side of the argument.

Did you notice that its about to be Christmas time...

You know the celebration of the birth of the Lord Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, who was born of a virgin, shed his blood and died upon the cross for all of us..in our place, to pay for our sins..

The savior that the Christians worship...the one that Joey Smith rejected...the one that Joey Smith boasted he was greater than...

The God that destroyed the pagan Joey Smith...
