It would appear the massive spamming of LDS threads on FR is an intentional attempt at misdirection. There is nothing Christian about this cult.
For some reason, there seems to be a belief that this spamming will win support by the general FR membership for censorship of ANY opposition or rebuttal to the mormon message.
It's coincidental that this is happening during JR's illness, I'm sure.
No but this is America, and their First Amendment rights are being violated, assuming areas no longer under control of those still answering to the incarcerated Warren Jeffs have no problems with child abuse, this is a Serious violation of religious liberties. I’m a Catholic, so I’m obviously NO great fan of Mormonism and all their asinine doctrines (no toe stepping intended), but I first and foremost an American. Being a Catholic doesn’t give me the right to be an American, but being an American gives me the right to be Catholic. And being an American gives them the right to be Mormon....
I agree. As I stated on another thread, I view LDS or even (F)LDS as a totally different religion from Christianity, just like Hinduism, Buddhism, or the Muslims. I have noticed that these other religions tend to acknowledge Jesus Christ also, but that doesn’t make them Christian.

No, it is an attempt to COTTECT MISDIRECTION.
I thought this was a thread on F-LDS, not LDS.
There is a difference.
You do know that “spamming” generally refers to putting non-germaine items into an existing thread, not posting a thread.
Further, you do know that you are not required to read ANY thread you don’t want to? There is NOT going to be a test.
The “LDS” threads are well-labeled. So other than complaining about the space (which is really up to the owner), and the time it takes to read the headline, there really is no “misdirection” that could work, except against people who are easily distracted.
I do realise that one of those threads drew a thousand comments, so maybe the “moth to a flame” meme is alive and well, but as we are sentient beings, with higher intellectual functions, I think those who are posting there do so because they want to, not because of some unseen force compelling them against their will.
