There are some fables even within the Catholic Faith. The Catholic Church (I would presume) would try to root out those fables and not try in annihilate the one who exposes them.
Unlike the Mormon Church which clings tightly to its fables and ousts anyone, and villifies anyone, who dare go against the hive. Sometimes the truth offends. Would you rather cut out the truth or the offender?
Do you think the Catholic Church would excommunicate a member who would stand up against the horrors of the Inquisition? Or the abuses of some of the early Popes? It doesn’t happen that way. The Catholic Church, unlike the Mormon Church WILL examine its past and rectify it.
Mormons won’t even admit that its early members committed atrocities, whoredoms and fornications. But let one of its “members” point it out, and they are instantly anathema. YOU have clearly pointed the LDS Church position out on this thread. I am not to be trusted. If I retain my membership - I am dishonest and disloyal. If I’ve renounced my membership - I am weak, sinful and apostate. If I have been excommunicated, it is for gross sinfulness or heresey. Do you see Logophile? I cannot win. I cannot reveal my membership status BECAUSE is opens me up to your labeling and gives you a foothold to attack my truthfulness, lifestyle and standing in my community.
Your methods are exactly that of a cultic organization. If one doesn’t stand fast in the dogma, one is kicked to the curb and vilified. Any knowledge that that “outed” person has attained is untrustworthy. The person becomes your target, and not whatever message or information they want to expose.
99% of FreeRepublic’s readers can see the clear evidence that Joseph Smith is a fraud - you cannot. Yet you call me dishonest and untrustworthy. I call you deluded. We’ll let the readers decide.
Let me get this straight. Are you saying that you have spoken out only against "some fables" in the Mormon Church? And if so, does that mean that some of the teachings or practices of the LDS Church are not fables in your mind?
