Just wondering where in this thread my sex was disclosed? I didn’t see it, did you?

Any reasonable response to this one, Freeplancer? Other than calling people names while being so un-namecalling and explaining on the Internet how others should be using their time more wisely, such as fighting abortion, than ... er, being on the Internet?


1983: (Stop the tape there...even more exceptions...the mice are eating so many holes in the cheese what’s beginning to remain? By 1983, the LDS Church General Handbook of Instructions had dropped the produce serious emotional trauma from the exception and added incest to the exception list. So, a predator who commits incest could then “cover up” his crime by aborting him or her - all sanctioned by the church.)

(4)...except...Even then it should be done only after counseling with the local presiding priesthood authority and after receiving divine confirmation through prayer.”

(STOP THE TAPE!!! What? The Mormon god is now a before-the-fact conspirator in the murder of the pre-born child, along with local LDS counselors who might approve of any abortion????)

“Abortion must be considered one of the most revolting and sinful practices in this day, when we are witnessing the frightening evidence of permissiveness leading to sexual immorality.”

Then why would God approve of something so “revolting and sinful”???

Still dodging questions huh? Now you are going back to the old bull baiting. Very classy and I am sure glad that you are the gatekeeper to Christianity, with your temperment and all.

Nope. Didn't see it. Well, let's see. Freeplancer says this in post #113 in response to your #1 post. So, recheck #1 post. (Oh, that explains it. #1 is "empty" & some folks assume "empty" posts can only come from the "empty headed" sex, eh? /Sexist sarc off)

Seriously...it wasn't a subject matter anywhere on this thread. So, was it telepathy? (have you been eminating "female" thoughts?) Was it FREEPmail from another LDS poster? Even so, why was that relevant?

(Palin has a lot of cultural lessons to teach)

It appears that we have a NEW thread-killer at work tonight, trying to get it locked.

He/she has already been told to leave the thread if he is unable to comply with the admonition to stop making it personal.

Mods, I hope you take this into consideration.

You don’t want a “reasonable response”. You want to argue and then you want to snicker to your buddies when you don’t succeed in bull baiting me. What was your denomination again? I don’t think I remember you stating what your affiliation is.

 Maybe my denomination is larger than yours because we don't go around insulting people in a belligerent manner.
 
 
And the beat rolls on.....
 

 

 
 
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/js_h/1/19#19
  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
 
 
BTW; you are not in a 'denomination'.

You have an EXTREMELY short memory. That question was answered previously. Maybe you are so busy doing things for your neighbors and seniors who might need help that you are just too tired to remember. /s

You didn’t ask, Fresplancer. Happy to oblige, Presbyterian.

Since I’ve now answered your question, how about you answer some I’ve posted to you?

Un-snickeringly,

BR

No. I addressed your questions from #106 in 115, 117, and 118.

But have you addressed ANY of my questions posed BEFORE your questions of #106 in #103 & 105? (Nope) Have you answered any of my questions in #118? (Nope)

So, (a) Wake up to the chronology. Answer my earlier questions.
(b) Wake up to my second-round of questions. Answer them, too.
(c) If you don't like my answers, then restate your questions -- the important ones -- in another way. (And be specific in stating why you don't think they answer your questions)

Oh, and stop it with the "anger"/"temperment" stuff. [Too often, folks get into "projecting"...they grew up in homes or they saw neighbors/relatives where there was disagreement and to them disagreement = anger/temperament issues because that's what became associated with it...] Did your parents disagree on stuff

That sounds quite sexist. And personal.

HuH?

Don't you guys remember how MY gender was bandied about a few months back?

Inquiring minds REALLY wanted to know!

...if you'd just start each sentence with an upside-down "F"]

Oh NO!

NOW we'll get some picture from Resty and then, a few posts later, a claim of innocence and stating that it's OUR minds that are polluted!

Yep. Guilty of answering twice and not cringing from my Faith since 1967. :-)
