New Mormon anti-freeper site and campaign to bankrupt FR

rumor mill | March 29, 2009 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

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 brings up the point the this use to be just a political site. The religious seem to have started taking over. That's not a good thing in my opinion

That appears to translate, "Hey, let's have the irreligious have full control."

Let them fight their religious battles on some other site. We've got the democrats and MSM to fight here.

Have you ever noticed that the song by the American idol winner, "Jesus, take the wheel" isn't played only Christian radio stations? I tell you that hatchet-wielding (hatchet as a symbol) people trying to forever sever faith from the public square have been more dangerous in annals of history than others.

Besides, I'd like for Jesus to take the wheel of my cultural priorities, too: "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Luke 12:4-5)

Hence, has Jesus issued primary warnings about political opponents? (No) He says our #1 respect is to be what can happen in the afterlife.

I am really annoyed by this fram and spam group because of their misguided selfish interest they have really set back out goodwill here on FR.

Resty, for once I can whole heartedly agree with you.

Should I get money from Honda because the motorcycle was too fast?

[restornu]

When was that?

greg west (aka spamlds) came over as a troll and now using FR to try to expand his social network beyond the 80 or so followers he has

[Alex Murphy]

In fact it was more than OPEN. Mormons, among other groups like Catholics, can and did post in protected forums (devotional/caucus)where their theology could go unchallenged and unrebutted. That IMHO is bending over backwards and a credit to FR.

Absolutely.

[AmericanArchConservative]

fear not - apparently Greggy has updated, and you are now there.

I, on the other hand, am still out in the “telestial” cold.

FReegards,

“McDonalds brewed it HOT because people wanted it hot (including ME)”

I hear tell that drinking really hot stuff increases your throat cancer risk.

Of course, they could be attempting to scare you into dying.

I’ve never met a freeper who hates a mormon.

Nor have I. It's a fairly common accusation and when I see it I ask the poster for just one name of someone who says he or she hates Mormons, I haven't gotten one yet.

Nor can anyone show me a Christian who hates Mormons, FReeper or not. It is decidely unChristian to hate anyone.

Is that anything like the Mormons who accuse everyone who objects to Mitts liberal political positions as being opposed to him simply because he's Mormon?

‘That appears to translate, “Hey, let’s have the irreligious have full control.”’

Only to the insecure, knee-jerk, projection prone posters on this thread.

[colorcountry]

There are some here who are kissing up to JR now when they were over at Clown Posse bad mouthing FR and when I see this person post thanking JR for let her be here its really two face!

Are you implying that someone posting to JR on this very thread is an imposter - a clown posse poster?

Would you like to name names, or just spread doubt?

[surfer]

Geesh...maybe that guy is actually a member of ACORN. Sounds like they have been infiltrated by ACORN...

Myself I was raised a Catholic and if I had as thin skin as this guy does...I would have gone postal a long time ago.

Maybe Missouri needs to update their profiling to including this guy...

Simply unbelievable.

PS - Jim you have done a great thing here it is just a sad day in this country when we are supposed to have freedom of speech and freedom of religion that we get some zealot to forget some of that. You take the good with the bad - both in religion and in free speech.

[restornu]

Thank you Godzilla I just pray someday we will all have Joy in our resting place.!

[ejonesie22]

LOL...

I guess, who knows...

Seems you are pretty level headed and well adjusted from what I remember, but Mr. West is the Mormon expert...

[Graybeard58]

The link I clicked, included my screen name but not on the list you posted at #245.

Are we looking at different lists?

Yea YOU!

[American_Centurion]

Sounds like the Romney M.O. to me. He and his “bots” have set out on a destruction campaign of anything criticizing his “conservative” credentials. And lets face it FR is a pretty Romney unfriendly place because we KNOW his credentials and they are anything but conservative. There are some supporters here, those are the ones to watch IMO.

[stevio]

This is unfortunate, I really appreciated what the Mormons did with respect to Prop 8 in California. My wife has many friends who are in the homeschool circle that she runs in. Let’s stop eating our own already.
