Why don’t you reply to posts to you instead of changing the subject? Folks have posted questions and replies to your posts, yet you take the tact of obfuscation and deflection.
Attack the messenger? Is this the new tactic of lds apologists?
Posted to you by an apostate, who, according to mormon teachings is “doomed to outer darkness”. Am I a bigot for questioning what I was taught and eventually learned? If so, you have a tough road to hoe pal. For there are many more like me who are beginning to speak up and out against what your religion teaches. You can’t squelch the growing rumble of “antis” now that the internet is upon you.
In regards to “hate”, folks who were lied to have a reason to feel a certain level of emotion regarding the many fallacies of lds teachings they fell for. I “hate” the fact that I was stupid and ignorant enough to be drawn into something that is totally and utterly false. I “hate” the fact that I wasted years of my life believing in something that took me down a path of futility.
I “hate” the fact that now that I know the TRUTH, I have to teach my family that same truth in order to ensure their salvation. It would of been oh so much easier had I remained a non-member and resisted the wishes of my wife in allowing our son to be raised in the church.
So, according to you, since I’m a “hater”, I guess I’m again doomed to some purgatory. If so, then I guess I’ll take my chances being judged by Jesus as opposed to Joseph Smith. I need to find a third way to end up in some type of outer darkness, I’m looking for a trifecta.

I mourn for my family....the family of my birth, who were taught for generations that they too would become gods, that they were blessed to be born into the mormon cult because they were very valiant in the pre-existence when we dwelled with a “god” who was once a man, but by obedience finally became our father-god and sent our brother-god Jesus Christ to die so that universal eternal life would be given to all, good or bad, believers or non-believers. My family and ancestors believed that they were part of the straight and narrow followers of Joseph Smith who could mate with many wives, and have many dozens of children who would expand their empire-kingdom in the life to come.
Now it is my chore, to teach my family, the meaning of words like; God, the Son, Savior, Grace, Eternal Life, Kingdom. Those very words were hijacked and given new meaning by the cult that has enslaved my family since 1838. Yes, I truly hate a cult that hijacks the very gift that Christ died to give us. I love the Mormon people enough to reach out to them in love and show them the deceptions of their "prophets," and how they are enslaved to a non-christian sect. I pray that they will come to Christ, but in reality, on He knows. He has asked me to spread the Gospel, the Good News of salvation and eternal life, right now, in Him.
