There is a difference between obeying God's commands and His Word by NOT FOLLOWING after false prophets and those who claim to be prophets of God when they, the false prophets/teachers, do things and says things which go against God's word and commands, and JUDGING OTHERS by making statements concerning their heart's desires and intentions.
As to "casting stones" and making judgments upon those who post in FR, I question why you are then the person who would have done the following to me, since that is clearly wrong. It is reflective of what you have also said about others on this thread. It appears to me the only reason you are doing so is because you dislike what is being said about JOSEPH SMITH, not because of any personal attacks against you.
To my knowledge, the following post was my VERY FIRST post in which I made any comment concerning the HISTORY of the "Mormon religion" or Romney's Mormon background. (As concerns Romney politically, I was and remain opposed to him as a candidate for president or vice president because, based upon information I have read of his past/current actions and policies, I believe he is and has misrepresented himself as a "conservative," as is my right).
Despite the fact that this was my FIRST EVER POST concerning Joseph Smith and HIS background, you, out of the blue, from a response I made not addressed to you, stated that "I and others run around gossiping about things I do not, nor want to understand..." Again, this DESPITE THE FACT that my post CLEARLY SHOWS that I not only "gave a pass to Romney" for the "sins of his grandfather," but that I also planned to read, and therefore, LEARN ABOUT what I had not been previously aware of. Therefore, if I had not been aware of this previously, why did YOU ACCUSE me of running around GOSSIPING about it?

The exposition of Mormonism's prophet, Joseph Smith, as a serial statutory rapist (eleven of Smith's wives were between ages 14 and 20), a swinger (11 of Smith's wives were married and cohabiting with their husbands, while married to Smith), and a liar (Smith repeatedly denied he engaged in polygamy).I wasn't aware of this, Zakeet. (As far as the sins of Romney's grandfather....I give Romney as pass on that...he isn't/wasn't responsible for what his grandfather did).
Thank you for your post....I don't know how I'll be able read up on all of this within the time required, lol.

To: nicmarloRomney grandfather did not committ sin there is no sin when the Lord blessed it as in the days of Abraham and Jacob/Isreal!
What this Warren group did has nothing to do with the Lord annoited Church, any more than Jim Jones had to do with the Trinity believers!
I am not saying you can not have your own take on this but as a LDS I know it is not true what you and others who run around gossiping about things you do not, nor want to understand and understanding only comes by with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Specifically, Jesus said this to the Pharisees who were about to stone a prostitute (and not also the man she was caught with). Do you know what Jesus wrote in the sand before saying this?
This statement does not apply broadly to every situation and to all people throughout eternity.
