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.
That's actually your best tactic, because you lose every argument you get into details with.
I think what you meant to say is I'm going to sit back and snipe at will and expect you to leave me and my false religion alone.
Brigham Young taught there was no Virgin Birth. Joseph Smith taught that Many Gods' created the earth. Orson Hyde taught that Christ was a polygamist and a sinner.
Christ taught "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." (Matthew 12:36-37)
You will not be afforded the luxury of being FOR the church and AGAINST it....Like John Kerry and the war. Not here.
Now if you really WUZ a MORMON before; you'd know that the JoD is NOT Scripture.
--MormonDude(But then again neither is JS's correction of the KJV of the Bible - or even our SEC... ooops: SACRED Temple Rites®)
lol, “I will be obeyed!” No discussion allowed and quit bashing us! lol
Or else your grandma wears army boots! What else?
They think you belong in hell.
What did you expect? A cookie?
Ping to post 925.
Take note all who are *Mormon haters*.
LOL !
I’m LDS and you could have knocked me over with a feather when I read this post. I will never agitate against a conservative forum, we need to hang together to get rid of the ‘leadership’ of this country. P.S. This is the first I’ve heard of this and I will NOT be joining them.
Some of my best friends are "you people."
Nice to see you Girl. You often are a voice of reason and level-headedness, kindess and love - A true example of what Mormonism is all about.
Why don't you ask your folks to just be happy mormons and leave our Christian religion alone ? We could live in relative peace.
We're not mormons, your leaders have made that clear. You're not Christians, your leaders have also made that clear.
Or, you could ask them to openly and once and for all denounce all the false teachings of Brigham Young and Joseph Smith and truly become Christians.
That's good to hear , many of us on a much worst list I'm sure
What’s up with Utah giving us Harry Reid? That would be enough to make me RUN from Mormonism.
They have made a deal with the devil.
I might as well butt in here :-)
Our neighbors down the street are Mormons. Their son is part of the ‘gang’ my son hangs around with. Normal 17/18 year old boys, go to school, work, athletics, babes etc.
Mormon Friend (I do not want to use his name) is the one kid in the group that does have a measurable amount of common sense. He is an honor student, an Eagle Scout and an exceptional athlete. He is very goal oriented. I credit it to the Family Values I have seen in his family during these past 10 years. They do not preach family values, they live it.
I have never understood the negative emotions regarding Mormons.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents.
Your conduct has never been short of exemplary, UG. Yours is class act that your fellow LDSers should emulate.
It was Nevada that gave us Harry Reid.
Actually it is Nevada that gave you Harry Reid. Most Mormons can’t stand the man.
Well, first off, they think you belong in hell because you do not worship some 18th century fellow who dug up some dinnerware.
I'm sure it was very nice dinnerware but hardly equal to Jesus.
