New Mormon anti-freeper site and campaign to bankrupt FR
rumor mill | March 29, 2009 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 03/29/2009 2:35:03 PM PDT by 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.

I’m betting this has less to do with religion and more to do with the Romney vs. Palin bit.

It could be well be someone wanting to cause friction between FR and Mormons.

Quite possible. There is a ping list for anti-Mormon FReepers. They are a motivated lot. They post more Mormon threads than the Mormon FReepers do!

All of that guy’s site strikes me as someone who peers into his neighbors home with a telescope and judges what his neighbors and his neighbor’s guests are doing.

This isn’t his home, he doesn’t know the friendship between people and that yes, we get in knock down drag outs, but we choose to get in those freely, of our own accord.

It is not his place to come into this site and define the rules. If LDS or antiLDS ever decided they didn’t like it, they would leave.. but everyone is still here, slapping each other around, sometimes heated, but all in good faith.

Guess I need to make a minimum number of posts savaging the false “profit”, Joey-boy,or his left hand of evil, Brigham the Brigand.

Huh. Thanks. I just read your post, which was posted right after my post #343.

As I said, it would be counterproductive for Mormons to attack FR; better to put up with the occasional insult, which all of us suffer from time to time. We all have our differences, Protestant and Catholic, libertarian and social conservative, but we can try to work together for the common good.

You 'understand'?

I'll jes bet it's a bunch of them ANTI-mormons with yet another disinformation campaign.

I don't know WHY you allow them to post stuff from MORMONism's history here.

It is as clean as the driven snow and we hide nothing.

It seems you may be lacking in understanding some of our fundamentals.

Checking you out I google your name one day and a conversation about FR and being LDS who was also named Redhead and pretty much to some of our talks so I did go there to read for a few weeks some of the stuff that was being said.

BTW this person had gg uncle John Lee

>> Perhaps you may want to convey this same question to LDS missionaries as 60,000+ visit Christian homes telling Christians, with a smile, mind you, that they’re “apostates.” (Why do all Christians have to defend themselves against this charge?) I recommend to all that they be very hospitable to such LDS missionaries.

Not sure where you live, maybe the Mormon missionaries are quite agressive there.

The (few) times I have encountered them, I have given them a drink of water if they wanted one, politely but firmly explained that I was a Christian and did not see eye to eye with their doctrine, and sent them on their way. I have never felt defensive or “like I had to defend myself”.

Frankly, my faith is such that a Mormon will not shake it.

I will say this: I admire Mormons’ courage to go forth and evangelize. Christians have gotten too lax about being always “ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” — never mind going “forth into all the world and preach the gospel to every living creature”.

Mankind does not have the answers within itself. Mankind KNOWS this, too — don’t kid yourself. Within every atheist, every agnostic, every earth-worshipper, is a giant sucking vacuum begging to be filled.

What ought we as Christians to do? Go out and compete with the Mormons and FILL THE VACUUM? Or bash mormons? Which is more productive for God, do you think?

Just my 2c

And where does it say that Mormon Freepers should with hold donations and disrupt threads? And what is your definition of disrupt?

Does Clown Posse really exist any more? I tried googling it and only got something for some rap group or something.

Bear in mind, resty, that the internet is open to all and ANYONE could pick that screen name and make any kind of claims about someone.

That happened to another FReeper some time ago. Someone was creating accounts using his screen name and going to porn sites and posting questionable material at those sites, so when someone googled up his screen name, that sort of stuff came up as well. I didn’t believe for a minute that it was really him, nor did anyone else who knew him.

The conclusion was that it was an attempt to sully his screen name and make it useless after that. The whole thing pretty quickly died down once those responsible realized that they weren’t getting anywhere with it.
