250% more? And I didn’t want ANY.

mormonism is not growing quickly however since they are partnering with islam on many issues maybe they are just confused.

[a fool in paradise]

While the head of the Islamic empire is still 100% against the practice of any other faith in the homeland and those millions of so-called moderate muslims bow 5 times a day, every day to that nation and never once consider the hate that Islam imposes.

How many are prison indoctrinates and how many are foreign born “refugees” being funded by the Saudi state to colonize the Great Satan?

When the messiah comes Islam will be wiped out.

Peace on Earth will be established.

NO MORE ISLAM! NO MORE MUSLIMS!

[elcid1970]

I’m not buying it.

Plenty of articles out there on how internet research is the mortal enemy of these two false faiths, EACH dependent upon one founder & self proclaimed “prophet”, and EACH dependent upon its “book of divine revelation” written solely by the same man/founder/”prophet”.

They’re bailing out of Islam and into Christianity in Africa & the Middle East & Iran, and they’re bailing out of Mormonism, too, unfortunately into atheism & agnosticism.

Knowledge is the mortal foe of these two paganisms. Note also the similarities between them, publically acknowledged by the Mormon “prophet” Joseph Smith himself.

Viva el Christo Rey!

KANSAS CITY, MO. — A former Kansas City woman who converted to Islam in 2005 said she was harassed for years at AT&T, and that the abuse boiled over in 2008 when her boss snatched her head scarf and exposed her hair.

A Jackson County jury on Thursday awarded Susann Bashir $5 million in punitive damages in her discrimination lawsuit, along with $120,000 in lost wages and other actual damages.

The Kansas City Star reported Saturday the award appears to be the largest jury verdict for a workplace discrimination case in Missouri history.

Bashir said in court documents that her work environment became hostile immediately after she converted, with her co-workers making harassing comments about her religion and referring to her hijab as “that thing on her head.”

“I was shocked. I thought, ‘What is going on?’” she told the newspaper. “Nobody ever cared what I wore before. Nobody ever cared what religion I was before
Bashir worked at AT&T’s office in Kansas City for 10 years as a fiber optics network builder before being fired from her $70,000-a-year job. She claimed she endured religious discrimination nearly every day of the final three years she worked there, including being asked if she was going to blow up the building and being called a “towelhead” and a terrorist.

Bashir said she became so stressed out that she couldn’t return to work. She asked that her boss be removed or that she be transferred, but neither happened.

She was fired after not returning to work for nine months.

Please so stressed out ? Obama has me so stressed out, maybe I should file for a $5M settlement

[Kriggerel]

There’s also another factor at play. There is a certain number of folks who have converted to Islam since 9-11 simply because they have seen the sheer level of fear and respect that Islam gets from politicians and the media, and how everyone walks on eggshells around them. To lonely, disaffected people, having that kind of aura of power around you is a very tempting drug. Let’s face facts - people want to be on the winning team, and these days, Islam *IS* the winning team.

that's cause we haven't played Cowboys and muslimes yet...

How Did Mormons Grow So Fast? They Changed How They Counted

SALT LAKE CITY — If you suspected the newly released U.S. Religion Census overstated the Mormons’ growth rate, you were right. That’s because, this time around, the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints changed the way it reported its membership to the researchers.

..Its report pegged U.S. Mormon growth at 45.5 percent, jumping from 4.2 million in 2000 to 6.1 million in 2010. The 2000 figure, however, was much lower than the 5.2 million listed in the LDS church’s own almanac for that year. If researchers had been given that figure, the percentage of growth would have been considerably smaller, closer to 18 percent.

[Previously] ....the LDS church “left out numbers of members who, although baptized, were not currently associated with a specific congregation. This year, we included total membership numbers to more accurately reflect all of those found on church records.”

Dale Jones, a researcher on the Religion Census, said he wished the LDS church had alerted him about the change in its reporting methods....

The rest is here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/how-did-mormons-grow-so-fast-they-changed-how-they-counted/2012/05/04/gIQAErNm1T_story.html

Some others do the same, but if Mormons counted the dead they baptized they could really cook the books! The first 5 FReepers pinged above can provide much info on the LDS.

[daniel1212]

The LDS church does not remove any name from the list unless the person is excommunicated, or asks to be removed or is dead. Thus a lot of Baptist, etc. could also be counted as Mormons. Unless there is a uniform means of counting members then such figures are highly suspect. It is known that Watchtower Society (so-called JW’s) have about as many that leave as come in.

[Tennessee Nana]

Mormonism has only grown 20% in the last decade not 45%

they cooked their books 10 years ago and got found out

now its a matter of oh gollie gee look at that...

[Dagnabitt]

The wholesale importation of an enemy into our homeland is insane and beyond comprehension.

That it happened after 9-11 is even more mind-numbing

Unfortunately in the wake of the massive Muslim terrorist attack we had the bad luck of having two successive open-borders zealots in the White House.

One, Bush Jr., was a zealot because he's just isn't too bright and thinks it's “compassionate” to open our homeland to uncontrolled 3rd-world population transfers.

The other, Hussein, is a zealot because he's bright enough to know that such immigration is one sure way of permanently destroying that which he hates: The United States of America.
