“Sorry you don’t understand sarcasm.”
Evidently, you’ve got a hard time with it as well.
You wish! I have seen it.
The missionaries are sent out to sow doubt with implication that every denomination is lacking and only Mormonism is the restored Christian authority. So every missionary is involved in exactly what you sited.
After a month of solid whining and victimology and hamster-dancing by the same core of six or so mormon apologists, it is getting more than a little ridiculous.
Color, is this a reply to your post 1946? I don't recall saying anything about the mishies lately.
I was commenting on the #2000 post regarding the missionaries.
“Lets say that I tell you I am a Mormon, but I dont believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and I dont believe that the BOM is the word of God, and I dont believe in celestial marriage. Am I a Mormon? How do you know?”
You hit the nail on the head Abigail.
Yeah that was a response to CC.
Apostate, beer drinking reprobate, art dealing entrepreneur, Carlsberg/Tuborg/Cherry Heering, Aalborg Aquavit drinking exmo. Still fluent in Danish. Tak skal du hav!
“So, in other words, you are saying nothing good comes from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints?”
Please don’t put words in my mouth. What I have been saying all along is that :
1) the man-God doctrine is dangerous because it leads to unbounded conceit among those in power positions(a la Harry Reid, but not limited to him)
2) that which sets Mormons apart from Christians is the prophecy of Joseph Smith, who left a documented physical trail of occult, masonic rites, crystal gazing, bank fraud $3 bills, etc. that would have made Tammy Fae Baker blush even without makeup. Covering up such fraud is a destabilizing effect when Mormons are confronted with the evidence, especially under the stress of leadership.
Those two conditions make the presidency of Mitt Romney something I cannot support. As far as what you want to believe as a faith, that is up to you, and I have no doubt most Mormons lead exemplary lives, doing good where they can. But please don’t expect me to cover my eyes and pull a voting lever without giving thought to the moral basis of Romney’s decisions.
So, I hope you are a better person than I am in your day to day existence (not that hard to do), but please don’t try and minimize the doctrinal difference that divide us. I believe wholeheartedly and with proof that Joseph Smith was an utter fraud.
Would you vote for me for president, no matter how qualified I might be?
Welcome, welcome....I'd love to reply but the Danish was back about 4 generations ;)
Take a chair and jump right in. Tantiboh was getting bored and I'm sure he'd love to hear your opinions.

COME ON CUT IT OUT! It would appear the pots are calling the kettles black and the kettles are saying no we’re not black you are. Repeated over and over again and again and again...
Whatever happened to “turn the other cheek?”
Where went “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?”
So you behave as non-Christians all the while claiming you are Christain.
Now I’ve chosen to get upset.
My apologies.
I must go cool down and repent the anger I chose to feel towards you!
“What humility!”
I never claimed humility, just that I have my limitations as does everyone. What I did point out is that Joseph Smith is as phony as a $3 bill and the BOM has no scientific basis (not a pot shard)
“Again, there is a difference between Churches and Temples. Please stop calling us liars.”
So Temples aren’t churches? Are they bingo parlors?
pretty slippery word play there, typical of Mormons.
You proved nothing only that there is hollow space between your ears!
LOL
I’ll be back in two hours, still working. I need time to slice and dice :)
Sorry, this lurker has moved beyond organized religion and on to the natural approach to life. Scripture quoters bore me. If you can get the money out of religion, I'll start to listen.
Bricks and mortar makes a church? Funny! If you could see my view right now you would beg me to join my church.

Good, we agree. Shall we all grow up and put it behind us?
Tell you what, I’ll make this proposal. We’ll stop first. As long as our faith isn’t attacked, you won’t hear from us about it. As soon as you malign what we hold dear, we will respond.
“Would you vote for me for president, no matter how qualified I might be?”
If I found you to be the candidate that most agreed with me on the issues, I would. Mormons have been helping to elect Evangelicals and Protestants for quite some time now. Strangely, all the Catholic politicians seem to be liberals...
