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.

So you enjoy telling and calling Mormons “morons” and lately FR has allowed this and it don’t set well with me but than it reflects of the one who is saying it more than me, but that still does not excuse FR for condoning it!

The last thing that conservatives need to do is fragment.

Liberals will let each other anything.

Conservatives cannot agree on what to conserve.

Secondly, there isn't a Christian Church now or in the past that hasn't called some other church apostate

I've never heard that in my church, and I've been going there some 18 yrs now.

Question:....Do you or have you had any contacts with, or associations with this FRAM place?

I ask because you are generally one of the most hostile and rude Mormon's on this forum........

FWIW

No matter what you write, the people you are writing about are people. That is it, they are people. The freaking Mormon church does not condone people taking money from titty bar owners, etc and you know that. I don’t think you are a hater, I just think you are stretching things to link bad behavior to the LDS chruch. That is just stupid. The church is made up of people and people do stupid stuff. To insinuate that there is an organized Mormon Mafia is rediculous. These are people doing bad things.

"Although, if I was a Mormon, I'd be pretty ticked off at a certain group of attackers who seem to exist just to attack the Mormons.
 
You know: I feel EXACTLY the same way!!

 
 
 

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/js_h/1/17#17

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

This whole thread is an ANTI plot to TRICK Mormons into giving even MORE money to FR to PROVE what good, conservative Americans they are - probably the ONLY ones left with a man who can SAVE OUR REPUBLIC!!

We don’t need FR to be good conservatives and more than needed Rush!

But it is good to be with like minds present company excluded!

As a life-long Presbyterian, I can assure you that we are too uncommitted to our cause to generate the energy required to launch any attack on anyone.

Kudos to you for being a voice of reason over on that site.

Any sane person should know that the only religion who we all need to be afraid of is radical Islam. Those are the people who would break into our homes and send us out onto the desolate plains.

No wait, they would just kill us!

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

Hate to say it but I dislike those FReepers immensely! I guess they don't like the "freedom of religion" thing.

In the first place, you are fabricating a lot of things. Mormon missionaries don't go around calling people apostates.

Question: How much has LDS missionary training changed since the late 1950s, early 1960s?

Mitt Romney's father's cousin, Marion G. Romney, as you know was an apostle and long-time LDS church general authority. In fact, Marion Romney presided over the creation of a New Zealand stake in 1958--the first one created outside of North America/Hawaii.

During the 50s, Marion Romney (who also became known as a Book of Mormon scholar), utilized the first lds missionary systemized training which was implemented by LDS prophet David O. McKay. The reason I mention this is that of the four key doctrines that LDS missionaries were taught starting in the 1950s, the supposed apostasy and restoration was one of the four.

What you don't seem to realize or want to acknowledge is that everytime a Mormon verbally says -- or puts in print -- the language of or similar to "the universal apostasy" -- they are calling us all apostates.

Secondly, there isn't a Christian Church now or in the past that hasn't called some other church apostate. If you don't know that, you don't read much church history. In fact, if you are not Catholic, you are “apostate.” There is no reason to get so out of joint about that.

How many of these Christian churches statements you claim to be commenting upon have called these statements revelations from God? Canonized Scripture? Direct visions from God? Have many of these opinions have been added as a new chapter to the book of Revelation? (Zero. I thought so)

I keep wondering when I'm going to come across a contemporary Mormon who will just look at verses 18-20 of Joseph Smith - History within the Pearl of Great Price and then say to me: "You see, C, our God is transcendent. He has transcendent truth. And he told us that your sect is wrong. He told us that your sect was full of professing believers who were ALL corrupt. He told us that your sect was 100% off-base creedally -- to the point that he thinks they are a putrid abomination to him. There I said it. That's what I believe about you. And this isn't just a low-level church-on-the-corner claim about you. This is what God Almighty thinks about you. And to prove it, this isn't just recorded at a opinionated sermon level down the street or typed on some FREEPER keyboard. Nope. We enshrined in concrete revelatory canonized 'Scripture.'"

I know JUST what you mean!!

TRUTH IGNORED
 
 

Smith, Young, Taylor, Pratt, Snow, Kimball, Woodruff ...

 
 
 

 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.




 
BEHOLD!!!!  The Restorative Power  of the Book of Mormon!!
 



 
THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI
CHAPTER 2
 
  24 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.

I strongly suspect that most/all of this discord is the highly successful coordinated leftist dysinformation and disruption that visionary Andrew Breitbart is reporting on:
