I am a member of FreeRepublic who left Mormonism. I am now saved by Jesus Christ. I tell my story as often as anyone will let me.
Mormons try to silence me. Thank you Mr. Robinson for letting me have a voice
I simply asked you because I have been listed by others as one of the most hateful and venomous of the anti-mormons, and you repeated that anti-Mormons were hateful. I only wanted your opinion of my posts- I have no beef with you.
Thank you
I am sorry for my callous attitude towards you and hope you can forgive me.
Then don't read them. Skip right over Elsie's posts, if they bother you so much.
Elsie he makes it personal because he makes it his mission to put me in his sites every day!
He goads you, so you reward him by getting upset? That does not seem very wise.
If someone gets under your skin to the point that you are publicly questioning his motives and his veracity, it is time to step back. Why waste time and emotional energy on people who annoy you?
I am really trying to understand I think this is going to far
I don't know this person he sure don't know me and I would never be so harsh and rude towards him or his faith!
I truly hope you can solve whoever is giving you grief and I pray that greg west comes to his senses. The Lord counsel us not to get that carried away but to lean on Him! It is not always easy to do but this one has gone way off the tracts
Alma 13:
28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering;

Well, I always figured that the book of moron, false doctrines and bizarre covenents, and pearl not worth the price read like comic books... so it makes sense that a comic book read like Joey & his seven witlesses justification to live off of others tithes while gathering as many young ladies to his bed.

****
There are several replies and responses on that thread — you guys know me, I consider myself mostly civil, but that goes out the window when dealing with trolls and morons, er, mormons. Its not so much the messed religion, there are plenty of those out there, but the fact that they tell people that they are Christians. A flat out lie and one that makes my blood boil...

I’m agnostic and I don’t care.
Sorry to hear that. Please drive carefully.
Perhaps you can show us an example of the "hatred and venom" coming from the "anti-Mormon brigade".
Mostly what I see here is Mormons posting their beliefs and "anti-Mormons" (as they are venomously and hatefully referred to by Mormons) posting documents from the Mormon Apostles and Prophets that might better explain exactly what it is that the Mormon Church really teaches or what they really used to teach.
I mean who should we believe about what Mormonism teaches, a bunch of anonymous freepers or the past and present apostles and prophets of the Mormon church?
FWIW I was taught some really weird stuff back in the 1960's while I was a Mormon, but today most Mormons will attempt to publicly disavow much of what I was taught to be "gospel".
I also wrote post #530 to you; Restornu pointed out an embarrassing slip-up of mine. I didn’t know if you would, like Restornu, interpret my use of the word “moron” to refers to Mormons. It absolutely wasn’t, and I regret that the word has ever been used on FR to mock the word, “Mormon,” or the name, “Moroni.”
[The freaking Mormon church does not condone people taking money from titty bar owners, etc and you know that.]
You are naive if you think Mormons in the Vegas Valley do not play powerball politics, which politics certainly has a Mafia element in Vegas(I could write a book, believe me). Also, my interpretation is that because they think they are becoming gods, when Mormons do go off the reservation on power trips, they tend to do so in particularly harmful ways.

I only meant to call the assertion that anti-Mormons were the authors of Mormon caucus posts idiotic. I summoned you guys to my post because you were the ones I was defending (albeit for my own rhetorical purposes) from that ludicrous charge.
It is amazing at all the back patting and halo wearing while at the same time breathing hate and contempt for another faith!
Why in the world would these so-called anti-mormons post "Mormons are wonderful" threads?
That makes no sense....
What squad are you with?
Do YOU have any contact with..or association with this Greg West character...and his FRAM site?
Baptism for the dead; a man can become a god; "magic underwear" that has -or had - Free Masonry symbols; Celestial marriage; polygamy, including "marrying" someone else's wife; Kolob; God having physical sex with the virgin Mary in order to sire Jesus Christ....
There is plenty to find disturbing.
+++++++
Ya, just look at some of the misguiding statements on “ex-Mormon” sites.
Isn’t it amazing how some seem to post exactly like others?
Nothing against you, but I am very sleepy and have to get up for work tomorrow.
Also, I'm not aware of non-LDS posting LDS devotionals or prayer threads.
The other thread types in the Religion Forum (ecumenical and open) are not closed.
P.S. I'm not a Mormon.
The words you use to desctibe some of what we teach indecate you do not really understand our teachings.
Well....first off...does your Bishop know about your posting here?
Secondly the mormon church would rather spend big money to bring in BIGGER money....
Malls, Resorts, Giant Temples.....they don't have to bother with bars and such....Come on dude, you know this stuff.
It takes big money...to make BIGGER money!!
