But you see, because people challenge mormon doctrine, at the behest of mormon leaders, they’re deemed “haters and bigots” simply because mormons are such “nice people”, etc.

But I will note, I don’t see any of these same people on the JW thread recently posted to the RF decrying the challenges presented therein to the JW doctrine.

Aren’t JW’s “nice people” too? It’s not like they’re going around lopping of people’s heads or anything, right?

No, I daresay that many are simply cowards. They will not admit it, will not admit when they purposefully smear and libel otherwise good people whom they do not know except through words typed on a forum.

Yet, we are to believe they are the “honorable ones” when their own bigotry and intolerance surfaces and viscerally so because someone’s ox is getting gored.

Afterall, if they need to destroy the character of a few to protect a few, we are to submit to their supposed moral authority that it is in the “best interests” of whomever they deem worthy of such “protection”.

Here’s my take:

When confronted with criticism, JW’s normally just walk away. They are taught to avoid learned Christians. They are not equipped to defend the church’s teachings, even if they know them.

Mormon’s are taught to defend the faith, relying on ignorance about the church by non-Mormons and a certain disregard for accuracy. I can’t tell you how many Mormons have told me they were Trinitarian and then argued against Trinitarian doctrine. You can sometimes tell when they are being casual with the truth when they seem to argue against the church’s position. Mormons rarely oppose the church teachings.
But what they really hate are dealing with the mucky history of the church and its teachings. When your founder was “The Prophet”, it’s really messy when he was “wrong”. All that “rock in a hat” and “magic glasses” stuff was cool when non-Mormons didn’t know about it.

If you have cable TV, there won’t be much on to watch.

 

 

 

 

If there isn’t much on to watch, you will answer your door whenever someone rings.

 

 

 

 

If you open your door, you will see mormons.

 

 

 

 

If you talk to mormons, they will trick you into “praying about whether something is true”.

 

 

 

 

If you rely on your feelings, you may become a mormon.

 

 

 

 

If you become a mormon, you will have to wear magic underwear!

 

 

 

 

If you wear magic underwear, people will immediately label you as a cultist.
