Former Mormons find support on Web site The Associated Press Article Last Updated: 06/07/2007 10:13:00 AM MDT
Posted: 7:51 AM- IDAHO FALLS - A manager of an online support community for former Latter-day Saints says the number of visitors to the site has grown dramatically. Jeff Ricks is executive manager of www.postmormon.org. He says the site gets 120,000 hits a day, up from 50 a day five years ago. He says about three million people visited the site last month. He recently put up a billboard outside the eastern Idaho city of Idaho Falls to promote the site. There are 15 chapters of the group located around the world, including Australia. There are no chapters in Idaho, but Ricks says one could be started within several months.
Yes, to to one who knows all things, my purpose is obvious. Is that you Spiff? Do you know what I’m thinking?
so then why do you stay here? :-)
Nobody said Mormons explode like Muslims. Quite the opposite, we all know Mormons are almost universally good folks.
I don’t understand your question. :-)
of course not
Maybe you missed my intent. I posted the thread with no comment. I did NOT say I would not reply to posts.
I suppose you mistook my intention.
Thats very different from “I don’t understand your question”. Which is it?
You decide. ,-)
I can’t help a double minded person decide anything.
That’s for you to work out.
Oh, II, it’s not that I haven’t decided, it’s just up to you to decide to think whatever you wish. And I’m sure you will! ,-)
Won’t was my breath. be well.
I have a friend that was brought up Mormon.
He says that at the age of 27 he accepted Jesus into his life as his savior.
He now Pastors one of the fastest growing “Charismatic” churches in the area.
I do not understand why, if Mormons are Christians like they say they are, he felt the need to accept Jesus at such a late age, having been brought up Mormon.
You should ask your friend. As a pastor, I’m sure he would be more than happy to tell you about his conversion to Christ and his testimony of Jesus Christ.
“You should ask your friend. As a pastor, I’m sure he would be more than happy to tell you about his conversion to Christ and his testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Oh he’s told me quite a bit about growing up Mormon and he gets almsot fighting mad when people tell him that they are “Christians like you and me.”
Some of his stories make them sound like Masons. Now I don’t know enough about Masons to make a judgement one way or t’other about ‘em but from what I do know, they have very little if nothing to do with Christians or Christianity.
I don’t know much about Masons I’ve heard that some are Christian, and I have a copy of a Masonic King James Version Bible.
I do know that there are similarities to the Mormon Temple ceremony and the Masonic ceremony, for example the oaths and some of the handshakes (tokens.)
If I'm wrong, I'm not the only one.

And for that reason we all should be eternally thankful that the Mountain Meadows Massacre occurred in the nineteenth century and not the twenty-first. You don't get the same bodycount if you crash a stolen oxcart loaded with firewood into a sod house.
LOL, and they hadn’t invented the repeating rifle yet.
“I think Mormons should do like Evangelical Christians do by using TV and radio for their studies. Let us know what your faith is about.”
I think that would be helpful to a lot of us.
What’s the difference?
