Nope, not offended. This thread is pretty interesting.
Oh good! I want to see how many people get the joke...:) It’s not much fun if I have to explain it every time.
I hope you read the complete thead and realize that your statement of preachers railing against Mormonism isn’t true. I don’t doubt that it has happened. BUt I suspect it happens very rarely. Maybe it happens more often in places like Utah.
I’m not the only one who thinks you are lying.
Only once can I recall hearing a preacher speak ill of another faith. He mocked the Baptists for believing ‘once saved, always saved.’
You suffer from an extreme case of victimhooditis. You come across to me as someone who has her faith in her church strengthed by percieved persecution. Thats just sad.
I doubt most members in my church even know any mormons or know anything about their faith. I’ve said it before, I don’t even know of any LDS church in the area where I live.
I knew almost nothing of Mormonism until I joined FR. I have read up on it and have found it very interesting and similar in some ways to the church I was born into. Those people too believe that whenever they are mistreated or someone says something about them that is unkind, it must mean that they are on the right course.
