“So I can say that you caballers are simply following in Joseph Smiths foot steps?”

Just dress me up as a Lt. General, crown me king, give me twenty-five wives and a real estate monopoly, give me a magic peepstone, and put 2,000 Danites at my back and I’ll give it a whirl. But don’t be surprised if some Mormons object that I look a little foolish storming Salt Lake City. I’m sure you’ll be the first one on my side.

Him, or his wife, but who cares. Both of them sold e-meters ~ or is that Madeleine Murray O'Hare?

Bwahahahaha.

Scientologists have this deal where they accuse you of smearing Scientology if you ask how an e-meter works. It's something the Fund For Growth people have picked up when you ask them how their system for evaluating projects to see if they are pork or necessary works.

Bwahahahaha.

Could it be the Fund For Growth IS Scientology?!

BS, and how dare you confabulate about Rudolph. He's the one with the red nose. That's because he's the family pet who goes out into the herd to lead wild reindeer back to the family to be milked or slaughtered.

He has the red nose because the family makes sure he gets lots and lots of amanita muscaria (an hallucinogenic mushroom). It's a red mushroom with white dots ~ very source of colors for Santa's suit.

Now, being the family pet reindeer Rudolph gets his pick of the herd when it comes time for breeding. Boy is a regular stud!

Rudolph is no stud! If you'll remember he was so effeminate as a young fawn he wasn't allowed to play in any reindeer games. So, a nerd loner most of his life, he studied hard and eventually got into a reindeer law school and afterwards moved to a reindeer metropolis near the North Pole where he was appointed an attorney by Santa to bust up reindeer mafia gangs. Rudolph parlayed that law success into being elected mayor of the reindeer metropolis; but much of his campaign portrayed him as a family reindeer man. Then he dumped his wife, a young doe named Bambi, and took up with Dasher... and now, Rudolph is attempting to run for presidency of the North Pole reindeer nation. But most of the reindeer nation are on to him.

Some here are so far removed from the Lord with their daily endless barage of gossip and carping.

It is impossible for anyone to judge says the Lord in a state of contention.

2 Nephi 27

23 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.

24 And again it shall come to pass that the Lord shall say unto him that shall read the words that shall be delivered him:

25 Forasmuch as this people draw near unto me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precepts of men—

26 Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, yea, a marvelous work and a wonder, for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.

27 And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord! And their works are in the dark; and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us? And they also say: Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay. But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that I know all their works. For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not? Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding?

28 But behold, saith the Lord of Hosts: I will show unto the children of men that it is yet a very little while and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field; and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.

29 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

30 And the meek also shall increase, and their joy shall be in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

31 For assuredly as the Lord liveth they shall see that the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off;

32 And they that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.

33 Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

34 But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

35 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

and the place where so many contention souls dwell is best describled in Job!

Job 5: 14
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

[muawiyah]

That's entirely too stressful. In my universe Rudoloph is the very opposite of a Narc, he's a junkie, and he rats out his buds, the other reindeer ~ that's why no one would let him play any reindeer games eh!

He literally leads them to slaughter which makes him decidedly unpopular.

But reindeer are stupid.

Now is the time to let the words of the Lord in the Book of Mormon shine against the endless attracts from the opposition for the Bible and the Book of Mormon beautifully complement and testify of each other of Our Lord Jesus Christ!

PRESS FORWARD SAINTS!

[tantiboh]

Yes, nesnah, the seer stone was one of the tools used to translate the Book of Mormon. Southpark screwed up many details. In all, I’d say the episode was about 40% accurate.

[restornu]

Than don’t imply or make up stuff as you go along!

One big thing you like to imply was They is paid indirectly by the Mormon Church was that meaning it came from tithes?

***

No it does not come from tithes it comes from the LDS who want to defend, and have refutation for the misrepresentation going on out there, by disgruntled X-Mormons for whatever reason they are where they are, plus the anti’s they had them in the days that Jesus dwell upon the earth and it is the same disturber spirit leading them today!.

The children of Caiaphas!

[Old Mountain man]

LC, you are a real laugh! Have a happy new year!

[Elsie]

In all, I’d say the episode was about 40% accurate.

WHICH 40%?

[tantiboh]

~”So if somebody says the Holy Spirit told him LDS is the church of Satan then he should believe that...”~

Sure. But the Holy Spirit tells the truth, so that person will not be told that. If such a person were to ask me, I would counsel them to work on their discernment skills.

~”It’s kind of absurd that they publish these answers...”~

I agree, some of the answers are incomplete, silly, or logically flawed. But, it’s not an official Church publication, either. FAIR is associated with the Church, but is still an independent organization. It does not speak for the LDS Church.

As for why they bothered to publish the answers, you’ll have to ask them.

~”It has been the belief of most Christian theologians that Christianity is not based on blind faith but that our God given reasoning ability is part of the foundation of our faith.”~

The LDS Church embraces the same principles.

~”The entire foundation of the Christian faith is based on something people SAW - the resurrected Jesus.”~

That’s not entirely true. Some of it was seen; but God generally shows us the miracles or gives us the knowledge -after- we have exercised faith. In other words, we see after we believe. God uses unseen methods as well, though. Peter, for example, knew that Jesus was the Christ not because man had told him, but because God the Father had revealed it to him - he had knowledge from an unseen source. Many similar examples can be found in the Bible.

It’s funny that you mention Corinthians. I came across a passage that struck me today as we were studying the Bible in church:

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
-1 Corinthians 2:9-14

In the LDS Church, we embrace this. We seek to be instructed by the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost is an excellent teacher to the willing pupil.

I do not use hyperbole when I say that it is among the greatest tragedies of our age that man has so roundly rejected the personal instruction of the Holy Ghost - even those who strive their whole lives to be religious. They trust in the arm of flesh to teach them rather than in the wisdom of God.

[Elsie]

GO COLTS!

[tantiboh]

Do you have another definition of Christian to offer?

So far, we’re up to:
-One who follows Christ.
-One who embraces the precepts of traditional Christianity.

Please, do tell me any more entries you might have. It would be far more productive than the mere criticism you have offered thus far.

[tantiboh]

~”I’m waiting for you to extend the same courtesy to Mormons who manage to attack the Bible...”~

I defy you to produce an example of a Mormon FReeper who has attacked the Bible.

I wait with ‘bated breath.

[tantiboh]

~”Three people recorded his Adam God speech. Two of the original accounts agree and one doesn’t.”~

I did not know that. Is there somewhere you could point me where I could learn more?

[restornu]

PRESS FORWARD MITT!

Bye Bye the NWO Huckapuppet you have Huckubeen

[tantiboh]

~”Now, being the family pet reindeer Rudolph gets his pick of the herd when it comes time for breeding. Boy is a regular stud!”~

Storytime at the muawiyah house. Your children must have had some strange ideas...

[muawiyah]

The Sa'ami actually used a tame reindeer for thousands of years to bring wild reindeer home to them.

I thought you knew that.

Check out "Odin" "Little Red Man" "Herb Woman" "Thor" some time. Just call them up all at once. Simply amazing stuff there.

Tame reindeer used by this family to pull sleigh.  At a different time he'll be used to corral some wild reindeer.  Basically the Sa'ami in the Sapmai use the reindeer as both the "herding animal" (like a  collie) and "animal being herded" (like a sheep).
