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 what qualifies as *hatred*?

You’ve been throwing that term around and saying that the *anti-Mormons* have been posting *hatred*. Both terms are pretty vague. Got any links to specifics?

So sad...

 
 
Galatians 1:7-10
 7.  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
 8.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
 9.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
 
 
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
 14.  And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
 15.  It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
 
 Revelation 13:13-15
 13.  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
 14.  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

  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.”  
 
It appears that EXPERIENCES can be deceiving...
 
 
If one believes the Bible is correct, then, by that Standard, Mormonism fails the test.
 
 
If, however, you are convinced that the Bible is either in error, been corrupted or mis-interpreted, then you are free to believe whatever you wish.

Well said, Jim! Folks, our fight is not with likeminded people of different religions. Our fight is conservatives vs. liberals, etal, bent on destroying our country and TAKING AWAY our freedoms! Chill on the religious bigotry.

That's funny. I've been called a "hater" and a religious bigot by Romney supporters on FR many times -- or at least, such has certainly been implied in many posts to me -- and I'm not on the list! I'm crestfallen.

If you don't believe it, go to any Book of Mormon & open up 1 Nephi 14:9-10. There, you'll see it teaches there's only two churches -- the church of the Lamb (which they see themselves as) -- and the church of Satan -- which is supposedly all other churches.

Wouldn't calling other churches *the church of Satan* qualify as *hatred* on the Mormon's part?

I wonder how the Mormons would react if I called their church *the church of Satan*?

That is absolutely sick. I know most FReepers, even non-Mormons would stand side by side with our Mormon brothers in battle and defend them to tooth and nail when it gets down to brass tacks.

I agree. Did my service to ensure they could practice as their conscience demanded and would take up arms again, as needed to protect them. It is sad they are so obsessed with the idea that every challenge to their belief system is a sign we are getting ready to send them to the concentration camps.

You could learn a thing or two from Jesus. He loved the sinner as well as the saint. If you came at me, wanting to “spread the Word”, I'd slam the door in your face.

It was not founded by the church nor is it owned by the church.

Sell your spin somewhere else; Mormon.

Why would the church have and “take” on the Mariott Corp? It was not founded by the church nor is it owned by the church. Timmothy McVeigh was a Nazarene, so what?

No, the point isn't simply that Bill Marriott is a Mormon. If you think that's all that's tied in here, you're off-base. The point is that Bill Marriott is currently serving as an Area Seventy and is a member of the LDS Church's Sixth Quorum of the Seventy.

Those are church LEADERSHIP positions. And LDS are known for keeping a tight control on certain moral concerns re: its leadership.

So why are they looking the other way here?

You are on News/Activism

So that gives you MORMONS the PRIVLEDGE to slur Christians?

Ok then...

He had some pretty strong words for the Pharisees at times.

Don’t forget about those either. A keyword search of *woe* in the Gospels of any online Bible can lead you to them.

Well, since obviously you represent "Jesus" -- I guess your jesus would also slam the door in my face, eh?

(I tell you. The irony on some of the posts on this thread probably take the cake of any thread I've seen)

Forgot to ask one thing. Are we sure they are Mormons and not some disgruntled people who have an ax to grind with this site? Just curious


He is LDS. He re-joined FR specifically to attack us “antis” and was banned after a couple of days for trying to recruit Freepers to his forum (IIRC).

His first account was ‘gregwest’, his second was ‘spamlds’.

What is going on? JR has never prevented you folks from posting anything and the religion moderator is just the best. So what’s up?

There are a few that, even after being corrected, are not careful about the truth when teaching others that the LDS Church is wrong.
