Been a lot of that going around, it appears
Well, in reality, the entire LDS structure rises or is crushed upon the notions of what a 14 yo lad said he saw. So in reality, that makes it the true “first article” of the Mormon creed of creeds--that being the creed of the so-called mass, 100% Apostasy of every Christian church (& the "restoration" which conveniently followed in Smith's carved-out path).
So, Smith-forward has said that ALL the rest of us are corrupt apostates spouting creeds that are an “abomination in His sight.”
(If that’s not critical please show me your compliment repertoire; if that's flattery, maybe Mormons need a basic Manners 101 course)
Have you or do you plan on serving an LDS mission? Have you tithed or given a significant portion of your income to the LDS church?
Does this same church publish the Pearl of Great Price (PoGP)? Does the PoGP label all "Christian sects" as 100% full of "corrupt professors?" Does the PoGP say "ALL" "Christian sects...are wrong?" Does the PoGP say our creeds are "ALL" an "abomination in His sight?"
Do your funds go toward missionaries whose families cannot afford to pay their own way? Do your million missionaries (accumulative total according to LDS PR Web site) have as one of their top 4 lessons to teach the doctrine of the apostasy & restoration? Does this doctrine teach a 100% apostasy of the Christian church by the 4th century? Is this doctrine taught in numerous LDS publications paid for by your (& other LDS) offerings? What about the Book of Mormon? All of the above applies to that material as well...Doesn't the BoM teach that the great "abominable church" will persecute the Saints in the latter days? Doesn't it teach that this "church is of the devil?" Doesn't it teach that there's only 2 churches, one of which the LDS church says is the Church of the Lamb...thereby pinpointing the rest to be the "church of the devil?"
And yet you have the nerve to claim you don't attack us?
Just think of it: LDS are training & sending almost 70,000 some world-wide missionaries to go door-to-door, where the training inherently focuses on the doctrine of apostasy…that’s 70,000 daily “hit pieces” at the door each delivered dozens of times per week!!! Jehovah's Witnesses who go door to door are called "publishers" (& that's essentially what LDS missionaries are).
Look at what your offerings toward LDS publishing does: Your $ has gone toward publishing & distributing world-wide millions of copies of the Pearl of Great Price...including multiple-language translations? Just go to Elsie’s post #720 to re-examine what your tithe is paying for description-wise of the non-Mormon churches in their entirety. Wanna explain how Mormons labeling all Christians as “apostates” is any different than Muslims who label all Christians as “infidels?”
As for the Book of Mormon reference above, your same offering $ has gone toward this same worldwide publishing & door-to-door distribution of it. What about the 1 Nephi 14 description that the non-Mormon church at-large is the “whore” church—-the great abominable church? More "flattery?"
I can tell that you are a female.
My wife also wants the last word in any discussions we have.
I have found that it is wise to let her have the last word.
Actually, I enjoy immensely supporting a candidate like Mitt Romney who is espousing the conservative principals in which I believe.
Unlike the Mitt bashers who don't even seem to HAVE a candidate.
Whom do you support, may I ask?
PS -- have you noticed all the good respectable conservative leaders in this great nation who support and respect Mitt Romney? (no sense listing them all again)
Or have they all been "bought off" like the Romney-derangement-syndrome crowd claims?
(It's nice to know you have 2 "fallback" ways of dealing with conflict or challenges in relationships:)
(1) Practice sexism where you can elitely allow your perceived male supremacy to kick in...that way your tender ego won't be damaged when you don't know how to answer your wife...
(2) Hit the male silent button. (That way whatever you said previously doesn't need any accountability...I mean who are you, a future god, that you actually have to answer any vacant claims from the peasant class?)
My Wife stops with the discussion when she gets the last word.
I can see that you carry on.
(Oh, I'm sorry. With this silly e-manner of communication, we couldn't all see your wave of your god-in-embryo hand. We join your wife in now bowing in humble obeisance, oh future divine one...and a great silence arose in FReeperville for about 30 minutes...in keeping with John's vision in Revelation).
No, I thought you ladies wanted the last word.
I am giving it to you.
Action wished: Elsie; take time DEFENDING yourself from all of our scurrilous charges.
Results: Quack, quack - is it raining?
WHAT!!??
You got ONE serious case of DENIAL goin' on!
Yup!!
Even us MORMONS have done a MIGHTY lot of that!!
--MormonDude(Check it OUT! ---> http://www.angelfire.com/ms/seanie/mormon/mormonsects.html )
Yup!
Especially when we've run out of things to say defending against the truth.
--MormonDude(Them FUNDAMENTALIST Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints folks ain't really Mormons...)
Uh...
Looks like you do, too!
Wow!
When did your tagline line change?
Elsie's right, GF! I like your new tagline outfit! (Did you get it for Christmas? How long did it take to unwrap?) :)
Yeah!!
Check it out!!
--MormonDude(FAIRLDS says so!)
Is that because you are not a Christian, but rather a follower of the teachings of the Pagan Lawyer Tertulian?
ROFLOL!!
This is rich.....
In one sentence you backhandedly accuse another of what you did in the preceding sentence....
Are you guys trained in this tactic?
I've had some mormons here....tell me, they only pick out what they think applies to them.
Is that what that article of "faith" means?
