POLYGAMIST RANCH

The Dallas Morning News ^ | 4-23-08 | Robert T. Garrett and Karen Brooks

SAN ANGELO, Texas – The first of more than 400 children taken from a polygamist compound boarded buses Tuesday bound for 16 emergency shelters, children's homes and foster care agencies throughout the state, including two in North Texas.

As the buses rolled out, the children eagerly waved and smiled at television cameras. Lawyers inside the San Angelo Coliseum who were meeting with their adult or child clients said authorities allowed no one in or out while the children, 114 of them by day's end, were loaded onto the buses.

“I am totally laking in any objectivity regarding the small crew of rabble rouser’s who slide beneath the radar on this forum to make completely false statements against people they do not even know.

Out right lies and personal attacks that just really need to stop.”

You really get into the nasty name calling and intimidation telling people to get off the threads and you very plainly call them liars or even wicked liars, that is some very personal nasty business that you are engaging in.

Calling all of those freepers, especially the many old timers a “small crew of rabble rouser’s who slide beneath the radar on this forum to make completely false statements”, takes an awful lot of self importance and arrogance.

Defending Jeffs cult can be done without all of the nasty personal attacks.

Many good people here are against his cult and want it brought down, that is a legitimate view no matter what his web site says.

[Howdy there]

Check this out, so I don’t have to keep repeating myself. It is a WICKED LIE for the haters around here to say that I am in any way involved with or supportive of Warren Jeffs.

Try and follow me here: THose kinds of remarks are wicked lies.

I have asked the lot of you to please stop trying to hijack these threads with your attacks and bashing and disrupting what is usually such a great experience at Freerepublic.

So now I am ask you again.

Please just stop. A great forum is being hurt by those types of posts that you can’t seem to stop making, even though they are not true.

Please just stop.

[Howdy there]

Defending Jeffs cult can be done...

If that is your cup of tea, go for it, but please leave me out of your plans. Thanks.

[ansel12]

"If that is your cup of tea, go for it, but please leave me out of your plans. Thanks.

Like that word game accomplishes something, if you want to join us in opposition to Warren Jeffs and his cult feel free, but right now you are defending his cult with everything that you can throw out there.

The annoying thing is how aggressive and rude you are while doing it, I understand passion for a cause, but you can speak for him and his without constantly trying to squelch the other side.

[Howdy there]

Speak about the issues all you would like.

Please do not speak of me as being involved in any way with this cult.

I don’t know how I can make it any plainer to you. Please stop with the lies about me, and please stop trying to start fights just so you can derail discussions here at FR.

[ansel12]

“Please do not speak of me as being involved in any way with this cult.”

“Please stop with the lies about me,”

It is probably this constant manipulation of words that bothers everyone. I never said anything about you being involved with the cult

Calling everyone liar in every other post is annoying as well.

[DelphiUser]

DU says that no one knows what 'cult' means.

That is incorrect, the word cult has a very specific meaning. Most on this forum simply do not understand what that meaning is. IMHO you are among those who often do not understand the meaning of the words you keep using.

[Elsie]

IMHO you are among those who often do not understand the meaning of the words you keep using.

You have every right to your opinion.

I know EXACTLY what it means; and it's NOT one of the Mormon Shifted Definitions that abound on these threads.

It'sd no WONDER that you are confused about whether I know what it means!

[Elsie]

IMHO you are among those who often do not understand the meaning of the words you keep using.

Perhaps you can help me UNDERSTAND just what Joseph Smith 'learned' to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANISM?

[DelphiUser]

I Said: IMHO you are among those who often do not understand the meaning of the words you keep using.

U Said: You have every right to your opinion.

I only wish you were as gracious about my faith as you are about my opinion.

U Said: I know EXACTLY what it means; and it's NOT one of the Mormon Shifted Definitions that abound on these threads.

Mormon shifted definitions? I keep linking the dictionary, fine, here is a link to my definition cult Please tell us what your definition of the word cult is, and please explain why it should be different than the dictionary.

U Said: It'sd no WONDER that you are confused about whether I know what it means!

I wonder if you know because you keep misusing the word according tot eh Dictionary definition.

From your next post: Perhaps you can help me UNDERSTAND just what Joseph Smith 'learned' to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANISM?

This will probably offend you, but hey, why ruin a perfect record? Joseph Smith learned that the Trinity was a false doctrine, how? Simple, Jesus and God the Father appeared to him and they were separate personages, thus Joseph Smith knew just as Stephen knew that God the father and Jesus were separate beings.

You believe that Jesus and God are separate manifestations of the same substance. I have no problem with you believing that, and I would not be arguing with you except that you are here trying to tell me I am wrong, again, I wish you could be as accommodating about my religion as you are about my opinion.

[Elsie]

 

Simple, Jesus and God the Father appeared to him and they were separate personages, thus Joseph Smith knew just as Stephen knew that God the father and Jesus were separate beings.

Why does the BIBLE describe what you have written as EVIL?

 

 

NIV Galatians 1:6-9
 6.  I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--
 7.  which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
 8.  But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
 9.  As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

 

 

 

ANYBODY???

 

Like this fine looking fellow???

 

 

 

 

 

2 Corinthians 11:12-15
 12.  And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
 13.  For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
 14.  And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
 15.  It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

Like THESE guys??

17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!

Ephesians 2:1-2

   As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

[Elsie]

You believe that Jesus and God are separate manifestations of the same substance. I have no problem with you believing that...

So you do NOT think; like Joseph Smith; that Presbyterianism is an ABOMINATION.

[DelphiUser]

I Said: You believe that Jesus and God are separate manifestations of the same substance. I have no problem with you believing that...

U Said: So you do NOT think; like Joseph Smith; that Presbyterianism is an ABOMINATION.

You have gotten this one wrong too, no one cares if I think X is an abomination, and no one cares if Joseph smith thinks Y is an abomination. What God thinks is an abomination, on the other hand, now that's important.

I don't have a problem with your incorrect beliefs because I know that in the grand scheme of things, my opinion (like yours) doesn't amount to a hill of beans, God's opinion is all that counts. So, let me iterate, "You believe that Jesus and God are separate manifestations of the same substance. I have no problem with you believing that." and I would never bother to go on thread about your religion and bash you and your beliefs, I have better things to do. It's not that I could not and although I think I have more class than that, class or lack of it is not the reason either, it's because It's so low on my list that I literally never even think about it.

Have a really nice day Elsie, but understand that in most Mormon's opinions you must be really really bored that this is what you "do" with your time...

(will somebody get this guy cable?)

[DelphiUser]

Simple, it does not...

NIV Galatians 1:6-9

6. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--

It says nothing there about accurately reporting a vision of God.

When the Bible was written the Trinity was not a doctrine, the Godhead was. An impartial reading of the bible reveals that God and Christ are separate beings who are one in heart might mind and strength. many of the Buddhists I met in Taiwan who had already read the bible, came to this conclusion and rejected "Christian" churches on the basis that they were not following their own Bible.

In short, the change Paul was warning about happened in 325 AD, it was called the changing of the Doctrine of God and Christ to the doctrine of God/Christ, that is the doctrine that is accursed.

You make fun of us, and hey, I can understand that, we make fun of ourselves too. (it's because we are secure) yet you do not understand the point, because you refuse to admit that we have one. and that just makes you look silly.

Yeah yeah, Satan can masquerade as an angel of light, except he does not answer prayers as "God" because God is "answering" and not letting Satan take his place, how do we know that? Simple God promised to answer a prayer of faith, not only that, but (and you had to know I was going to Go here) in First John 4:1-3 it tells us how to know if a messenger is of God or of the Devil:

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Thus, I who have read the Book of Mormon, and asked God according to the promises in the Bible received a witness direct from God that the Bible and the Book of Mormon are both his word, and at the same time that I was receiving a testimony of the Book of Mormon, I received a witness that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that he died fro my sins, and that only through his grace can I possibly be saved.

This exactly and completely is what the Bible promises if an answer is of God.

what do you have?

You have a bunch of carefully edited quotations, you have mis-interpretations that ignore our statements that they are mis-stating our beliefs, you have documents like the salamander letter that are proven forgeries, yet are still prominent on anti Mormon web sites. You have colorful graphics and fonts. You have the company of those who believe that the ends will justify their means, when Christianity would teach you that the means must always justify themselves to God.

You have everything on your side but the truth, and God on your side, therefore you have nothing.

Elsie, I hope and pray the you will develop the faith to actually ask and believe the answer that God will ever place before you, I hope you listen to his voice above the howling of the world's "Wisdom".

[Elsie]

You have gotten this one wrong too, no one cares if I think X is an abomination, and no one cares if Joseph smith thinks Y is an abomination.

Then how do YOU explain all these threads that point out the facts about Mormonism?

---

What God thinks is an abomination, on the other hand, now that's important.

Huh?

YOUR own Founder and subsequent Leaders sure did NOT care!

---

(will somebody get this guy cable?)

Yeah; I'll just BET you'd like me GONE from the scene; wasting away in front of an idiot box; but I'm here 'til the Lord calls me home.

[Elsie]

...understand that in most Mormon's opinions...

Are just that.

[Elsie]

8. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

[Elsie]

You have everything on your side but the truth, and God on your side, therefore you have nothing.

[WVKayaker]

Good morning, Elsie.

You must be crazy. How can you offer this guy (DU) anything. He already thinks he is on the way to godhood. He is looking to rule over his own planet, and kingdom. He actually believes it is true. Otherwise, he has no reason to explain or justify his faith in idols, and works. He is sitting in front of his computer (or hers?) in magic underwear. He really believes they are empowering and protecting him from evil.

His "religion" requires him to lie about things, and keep the meat from us ignorant things. It asks him to leave his family and ride a bike for two years, while wearing white shirts and magic underwear. His wife can only get into paradise with his blessing. She has little say in that matter, and is mainly his source of souls for his new planet. Why do you think they want more wives? They want lots of children souls.

Elsie, I am sorry to say, but I think they are misled... but >i>I know in whom I believe, and am persuaded that He is able to keep me against that day!

[Tennessee Nana]

Good morning Elsie
