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.
All he is doing is collecting your stuff, and letting it speak for itself.
There is no threat, unless shining the light of day on your stuff is a threat. Come to think of it, most normal people are turned off by it.
I remember once on Dr. Laura, when she had the temerity to say positive things about something the Mormons were doing. One of you people called her up to set her straight, and give her the speil about how we can’t possibly be Christians. She said, “That’s ridiculous.” I think that’s how most people of normal intelligence react.
chirp...... chirp...... chirp......
And we all can see that this is just another MORMON attempt to direct the thread away from the topic of MORMONISM: Anti-FREEPER or Not??
Well you seem somewhat knowledgeable, maybe you can answer why it is that you (Mormons) or yourself, believe you are Christians?
WHAT!!??
FROPY2345 is not a MAN??
Who knew!!
Hey everyone!!!
I just heard that a certain FREEPER (who has been spotted on an ANTI site) is claimed not to be a MAN!!
We’ve been in the twilight zone all along anyhow
I’m sure Dr. Laura who is Jewish knows what makes someone a Christian or not.< /sarc>
Oh, of course....
/smacks self upside the head....
You learned that on an anti-FReeper site where you promote pro-Mormon propaganda and plot to kill FReepers.
That is SACRED information that would only be revealed to ANTI-FREEPERS spreading pro-Mormon propaganda.
You dog.
lol
A bottle and a half of Famous Grouse.Maybe.What a hangover that would be and then theres the scotch.
I think the bridle actually has to be ON the horse before you can STEER it in the direction you wish.
(ex-non-Mormon, you may ask me why, unless you use the question as a diversion.)
FACT:Mormonism is a very SECRETIVE 'religion'.
...and he posted the link to this thread...mods might want to be alerted to new sign-ups. Looks like reinforcements may be on the way.
Which is fine. They can give Fred a rest. And maybe they will post something besides "closed" threads. ;)
Lawyering for the lord.
You know what would save the mormon church....Really. Just come out and say "Look Joe Smith and Brigham Young taught a lot of false doctrine, but we're good people and want to convert the church to christianity". We'd accept that....There are a lot of GOOD MORMONS out there.
When you hold to the false doctrines AND claim to be Christians is when the fist approaches our face. You will not infiltrate and corrupt without a fight.
Because we believe that Christ is our Savior and the Creator of this world. You can quibble about doctrine all you want, but I believe that, and I am therefore a Christian.
And I’m not going to get into any of your little “gotcha” games, and definitions of “Christian” concocted to exclude everyone who doesn’t agree with you on every point. Consider that the end of the discussion.
THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHICHAPTER 224 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.
Or even HERE:
1 Timothy 3:2-3
2. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3. not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.1 Timothy 3:12
A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.Titus 1:6
An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTSSECTION 13251–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.
Yes Mistress
Odd the change.
PR, it is one thing SLC does very well.
As far as the rest let the light shine in, there is no shame in speaking the truth, but there is in suppressing it it...
Consider my post #1536 a response to you, too.
