Your continuous bashing of Mormons is REALLY getting tiresome.

And YOUR continual WHINING about it is really getting attention.

Keep the faith; Choose The Right; and We Thank Thee, oh GOD, for a Prophet.

Yup; I've given up a year of my life to obsess over the CORRECT religion.

Office of First President & Living Prophet®:

April 21st, 2012

URGENT!

Fellow MORMON Freeper Christians!!

Hot diggity dog; our boy has MADE it!!

Now beware; for the media is gonna be on us like... well; you know the saying.

I've been getting lots of feedback from those of you on Free Republic (spit) about a certain ELSIE (or something like that), who is REALLY giving us a hard time there!

Why not try to point out to the uninformed how OBSESSED he seems to be.

Let's see if we can tangle him up so much trying to defend his reputation

that he'll no longer have as much time to post facts about MORMONism.

As always, Tommy M.

(Keep pressing that we are CHRISTIAN and avoid anything MORMON like the DEVIL!!)

If this is all so "grand" -- for 12-year-old BOYS to be introduced into "service they provide for the benefit of others" --

Well; if this dude had made it to an older age, and got to go on his mission; then #53 would have kicked in and he would NOT have shot ANYONE; except with spitballs or a slingshot.

(Maybe his ‘little factory’ wasn’t functioning well.)

...suspect fascinated with guns but was a devoted Mormon...

The author has obviously never heard of John Moses Browning.

...holding protests at church meetings

My understanding is that the group merely showed up at these meetings. There were no placards, no chanting.

How loosely are either you -- or the Mormon Church -- or both...playing with the word "protest?"

It certainly would be beneficial for girls to be introduced into the same responsibilities as the boys if it were the will of God that the priesthood should be extended to women as well as men. I think that is the central question here: should the priesthood be extended to women? The leaders of the church do not believe that women are supposed to hold the priesthood.

#1...As 1 Tim. 3:8-12 shows, there isno Biblical basis for pre-teen boys to hold deacon "priesthoods"...therefore, if there is no Biblical precedent for that, then Mormon leaders can't fall back on "no Biblical basis" for girls, either.

#2...Show me ANY verse in the other additional Mormon "scriptures" which says women cannot hold the Mormon priesthood.

#3...I noticed that your default position was "the leaders of the Church" says...not the Bible...not the Mormon Standard Works...just "leaders of the Church."

Tell us, didn't "leaders of the Church" also tell the world and the Mormon Church that blacks couldn't hold the priesthood? Wasn't that the "leaders of the Church" status quo for 150 years? (And if they were wrong then, why do you place such faith in them?)

You would have to concede then that the "will of leaders of the church" is NOT the same thing as "the revealed will of God!"

“It is obviously an obsession.”

Yes, it is. Almost to a dangerous level.

It sure is fun to watch them explode after lighting their short fuses. So predictable.

“Yes, it is. Almost to a dangerous level.

‘So predictable’ is right. Obsessions are like that.

168. Breathe in, breathe out. repeat as needed to remain conscious.

CC

?

Just pointing out that the list you posted was all encompassing, and repetitive to the point of tedium.

CC

Elsie is the numero uno obsessive/compulsive on FR today.

The butterfly nets chase him!

Leni

Tedium is RIGHT!

Elsie is the numero uno obsessive/compulsive on FR today.

Today??!!??

Didn't you read the date on the memo?

“ALL: So a devoted Mormon teen shoots a fellow kid at school and injures a teacher, and Panaxanax is more concerned about the poster of this article than he is about a kid who shot up others at schools?”

You are a stuck record, played over and over again on any thread about Mormons. There is something very obsessive/compulsive about your behavior. If you are old, it’s a lost cause, as you will go to your grave trashing Mormonism. Although your tombstone will probably say something anti-Mormon. If you are younger, then I just feel sorry for you that you are so unhealthily obsessed. Are you married to a Mormon woman, or were you ever?

...will go to your grave...Are you married to a Mormon woman, or were ever?

(Never married into Mormonism...but hey, thanks for trying to guess motives on our new FR game show Jeopardy Judgmentalism!...re as to the question to the answer, "Why you think truth shouldn't be buried")
