I already re thought as soon as I posted for the exact reason you mention.
Better to keep the “VILE” posts up for all to see.
So now the direct quotes of your leaderships’ own teaching are lies?... Typical mormon reaction. How far up in the mormon priesthood are you, anyway?
Then instead of your typical little remark, why don’t you produce the teaching?
We are all waiting.
And don’t forget:
Other churches are led by men who can only speak as men. We, however, are led by Prophets of God who only speak as men!

Since I have been called by the Admin Moderator, I will only remind you that you claim to not be a member so there is obviously NO value to your little statements.
Pardon me, but due to your historic histrionics, I have absolutely NOTHING further to say to you.
“Are the people who are Bishops in our Church perfect?”
You said just the right words.
Is the problem Mormons? No.
Is the problem LDS(aren’t they the same thing?)? No.
Is the problem RLDS? No.
Is the problem Catholics? No.
The problem is people. People who turn to evil to attain power.
Warren Jeffs didn’t go on a search for a religion to support his ‘needs’, he was born into it.
So is everyone else, according to their rules, and pattern of strict inbreeding.
The Mormons/LDS/RLDS had gotten together and asked JEFFS and his group of FLDS members to quit their illegal practices, even if they were derived from the words of the founders.
The MORMONS/LDS/RLDS were doing the right thing.
Warren Jeffs and his LOYAL BAND said “NO”, and continued to do the WRONG THING.
It’s not about religion, it’s about the choices of men to commit evil acts.
Happens everywhere, every religion, every state, every city, every neighborhood, and in many homes.
If we are going to blame someone for allowing this alleged child abuse to go on, for so long, then it is US that is to blame.
We let it go, as a public, the first time the children were taken at the SHORT CREEK RAID. Because the public and church community rallied to support the FLDS, and against the LE, thinking they were picking on a religion.
Here, Fifty some years later, we are now arguing about the same thing, and it isn’t any truer now, than it was then.
Whew. What a relief!
Thank you for reminding me.
“I have absolutely NOTHING further to say to you.”
Now, what do the rest of us have to do to get the same guarantee?
“So, obviously there will be medical records at those OUTSIDE medical facilities matching each case of broken bones.”
Well, I haven’t seen proof their are any records on file at outside facilities, but until they can establish the name that was used at the time, it may be hopeless to try and prove it. IMO.
“Parker said any broken bones would have been treated in medical facilities away from the ranch and that doctors are required to report suspected abuse.”
“Lloyd Barlow, the ranch’s onsite physician, said he was caring for a number of FLDS children with broken or fractured bones at the time they were removed from the ranch.”
“Maybe ‘very young children’ shouldn’t be operating large construction and farm equipment. “
Good point, UCAN!
Are children running the equipment? Is this child labor?
Or are the MEN just letting the kids fall off the equipment?
How are these kids getting injured? Is there a reasonable explanation, or not.
I heard the ratio in the general population was one out of one hundred (or 1%)
At the FLDS compound, it is 10%. Is that way above the norm?
If so, why?
“YOUR HONOR, we have already argued this point on FR, come to a conclusion, and set a precedent.”
yeah, that’s what YOU PEOPLE do, and think. You think you are God almighty, sitting on the throne, judging these innocent people. What gives you the right to judge others, you puscillanimous prurient pretenders of political passion!!!
First of all, I didn't write the post. Second of all, there were citations in the post.
I'm still waiting for an actual refutation of the quotes posted.
OK. Now you are calling me names, you.....you.... NAME CALLER!
Please feel free to hold your breath.
Ok, sorry, let’s get back to the subject.
Now, what was this thread about?
Everybody plays the fool, sometime
Theres no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I aint lying
Everybody plays the fool
How can you help it, when the music starts to play
And your ability to reason, is swept away
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, youre out of touch with reality
And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries for you
Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime
Use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again,
Everybody plays the fool
Were you the youngest child in the family?
