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.
Mormons can be the best people.
The problem comes when they advertise themselves as a Christian denomination. They have very different ideas about the nature of God, Jesus Christ, and eternity. Their ideas are completely foreign to Christianity.
I do respect Mormonism for the devotion of its adherants and the exemplary behavior of its people. I wish they could just go and be Mormons. Muslims don’t buy commercial airspace and advertize themselves as Christian. If they did, there would be hell to pay!
“It is interesting how the few who repeat lies about one group make the rest of FR look bad.
I see you keep posting about “lies” others are telling.
Would you please be specific and say what these “lies”
are?
How is this any different than Obama’s brand of intimidation?
Yeah, I too didn’t really get what he was saying. I feel sorry for fred. At least he had the gumption to show up on this thread, even though he struggles to make himself understood.
Fred, I’m with you man. I’m sorry if I hurt you. I want you to find peace and joy, truly I do. You are a Freeper and a conservative and for that I respect you.
Take care, fred. Take care
They also are committing suicide because perfection is not possible.
Mormon culture is just as unforgiving to the imperfect as the Japanese.
It destroys one's soul, because impefection leads not only to misery on earth, but in the eternities as well. It kills all hope.
It is the LDS heirarchy that has failed to ExCommunicate him.
Matthew 16:13
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am ? 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist : some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
16:15
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am ?
16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven
1 John 4
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
There are also Japanese kindergartners who wet themselves.
They also are committing suicide because perfection is not possible.
Statistics on Japanese suicides VS those who wet themselves are almost nonexistent.
Mormon culture is just as unforgiving to the imperfect as the Japanese.
And again, those who wet themselves are left as a fringe group.
This is what we see today, regarding this anti-FReeper website.
It destroys one's soul, because impefection leads not only to misery on earth
As well as soggy undergarments, regardless of how sacred those may be.
It kills all hope.
It also creates a market for plastic sheets, which is good.
I’m on the list. How in the heck????
Congratulations.
I'm glad the TRUTH is FINALLY showing up in your postings!
you should thank your lucky stars!
I think the worst thing I ever said about Mormonism is that it’s different than mainstream Christian church.
I’ve been more critical of the Methodist church. Are they going to be coming after me also?
It must have been your posts about the Big Love episode showing the sacred 5 points of fellowship.
You hater!
LOLOLOLOL
My comment was meant in response to the complete idiocy of your fascist posting.
What a profound statement of experiential (& sad) insight. Thank you for sharing your "inside" observation. Thank you for your willingness to be transparent -- and even vulnerable. It's this kind of testimony that I pray will help LDS look deep inside their own culture...suicide and attempted suicide has claimed way too many in Utah, in part, due to this cultural influence of perfectionistic hopelessness.
To paraphrase Jesus, the perfectly well have no need of a doctor. He came to heal the sick -- and that starts with ALL of us realizing how spiritually sick we all are.
