Reports on mormonism are not attacks on mormonism, they are an invitation to discussion. Unfortunately the FRAM cabal is committed to silencing any exposition of mormonism on FR that might dismay a potential convert. Your argument of the discussions consuming posting space and being an unproductive use of our time is specious and a smokescreen. Where is the self righteous offense on endless arguments over Catholicism, or threads about American Idol and whatever that ridiculous vampire show is called? Hmm?

Mormons are very nice people. Moonies are very nice people. The folks in Guiana with Jim Jones were very nice people. Apparently you have an agenda against very nice people being informed, and more damning, you want to duct tape the mouths of people who do manage to break the bonds of approved Morg® thought/speak and emerge from the Joseph Smith cult as eyewitnesses.

Every day I discover a new ex-mormon or two on this site I never knew, and they are slow to reveal themselves because they know FRAM insures that ex-mormons with a testimony will be attacked, called haters, liars and bigots, or sometimes (ahem) "time wasters", at least when the Boss reminds you of your manners.

There's nothing in the mormon condition that sunlight can't cure. But there are people with a vested interest with keeping others in darkness. You either don't know anything about what the mormon cult does to people, and you're doing this out of ignorance, or else you know everything and you're lying in the service of a dead pedophilic con artist. Anyone who knows even a little bit about mormonism, who cares enough to do the most cursory search, knows the damage this cult does. And ex-mormons such as myself, know intimately.

The FRAM clown even identifies FReepers on his webpage...if you’re known to post information that rebuts, refutes or otherwise “disparages” mormonISM, your FReepname will be posted.

The point is this, posting information that sheds light on the doctrine, theology, practices, teachings, history, etc. shouldn’t be viewed as “anti-” anything...that position is an inflammatory, emotionally charged position.

Used to generate a vociferous and oft times visceral reaction to the posters, not the information.

Oh, and if you were not aware, it is precisely because of posts like Elsie’s and others that I was forced to challenge my own beliefs as a mormon...I got my knickers in a twist the same way many here still do...folks may not like the presentation method or the presenter, but the information is there.

And because of a change in my attitude towards the method and presenter, I’m now an ex-mormon.
