I understand there is a new anti-freeper site started by disgruntled former and present Mormon FReepers and it is their intention of bankrupting FR during the coming Freepathon by withholding their donations and disrupting our activities. Well, all I can say is, if they feel that badly against FR, by all means they should withhold their donations and drop out of FR. But it they attempt to disrupt our operations I will guarantee they will no longer be members of FR. If that is their wish, so be it.
I'm not going to try to defend FR from their claims of religious persecution, but I will say that Mormons have and always have had free reign to post their threads on FR just as all other religious groups have enjoyed. Free Republic defends the right to freedom of religion and has always welcomed religious discussion and always will. And Mormons have always been welcome here. I have absolutely nothing against Mormons.
If you are one who has left or is leaving, I wish you well, but disruption of FR is not welcome and will not be tolerated.
And this is not the first time such activity has been attempted by groups of disgruntled former FReepers. Good luck with that. There is always some group that feels FR should be bent to their way of thinking and end up saying my way or the highway. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not changing so I guess it's the highway. Is it Feb 8 yet?
God bless.
Yeah, I've pretty much stopped posting there, will occasionally offer something, but it's a waste of time. I do use it for a news source, it's pretty thorough in that regard.
To me FR has become not much more than a great and spacious building. The mocking and scorn from there is laid on pretty thick.
What I do find interesting about it is the timing of this post by Jim Robinson. His quarterly fundraising starts tomorrow, and his base knows where their bread is buttered. This seems like nothing more than a cleverly disguised plea for money, to help offset those wily Mormons. It's working to, from the looks of the 1200 plus replies.
LOL, those mormons aren't too "wily" as evidenced by posting this in an open forum!
I'm suggesting that during the FReepathon all those Inmans and folks listed as "anti-mormon" request their donations be listed in the Freepathon thread list as "Donated in gratitude to JR by an "anti-mormon".
Reno, I an interjecting myself here since this is an OPEN forum...
I think I just made my point, never mind...
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.
With the quotes from YOUR teachers and prophets.

After the number of times I, or others have correct ya’ll and ya’ll did not change your teachings, all I am doing is warning folks that some people do not care if they use truth to back up there claim that my church is not true.
Ouch...
;-)
I am. A convert.
"Neither parent shall allow any religious figure to mentally or emotionally prepare any of the three daughters, directly or by inference, to live under polygamy, whether said polygamy takes place in this life or the next. Neither parent shall allow any religious figure to disparage the other parent, directly or by inference in front of the children, or to teach or coerce them in any way, into a desire to be married in a secret ceremony where either parent is not allowed to attend for any reason. Neither parent shall allow any religious figure to remove the girls clothing to rub their ”EDITED” or “EDITED” with oil, or for any other secret acts, or teach them that submission to these types of ceremonies are required to go to heaven. Neither parent shall allow any of the girls to be alone with any religious leader for any reason."

For that we so called “antis” are eternally grateful.
Wow...
Good move.
You say that, no one else does. “Only a man”
So you twist words into what was NOT said, and say that is what was said.
+++++++++++
We will let the reader judge.
I can understand why some what what you say to be true.
I’m sorry Jim, forgot to ping you on posts 1090, 1261, & 1303. Thanks again for the board.
No, "we" did not change our "teachings", we continue to teach from the writings of the Mormon church and compare them with scripture from the Bible of the One True God
Which clearly shows the error of the Mormon church.
Again, if you continue to say we do not use truth in our teachings, then you are saying the writings of your church are false.
After seeing all the posts of quotes from your prophets, you continue to say we are teaching from our own knowledge.
The LDS writings compared to the Bible are the best avenue to expose the false doctrine.
What a lawyer.
A proper response would be....
You said "X" and referenced it here.
You are wrong because referenced quote actually reads "XYZ".
You haven't because you cannot. Your statements are just as fraudulent as BY's Adam God doctrine.
And here we continue to be told how "pro-FR" they are. Well, now's the chance to distance yourselves, FREEPER Mormons. Do you side with Seven, or with JR?
Ask him if he read the rest of the article, or if he can provide you with the context article from a 60 year old magazine.
=+=+=
After that answer, I don’t have to.

I think I see a case of someone not caring if the proof is true or not.
Do you think the readers will agree with you?
You’re on a roll today, Sentinel..keep it up!
So it is true that you claim that the God of the OT was once a man who grew into His Godhood?
+++++
Please expand your understanding.
It sounds like you almost have it, but have left some things that could be misused if not better defined by you showing your understandings of our teachings.
