FWIW, I passed up an opportunity to join the Mormons once even though there was a lot I liked about them because I thought they were too expensive (tithing) and I was unwilling to give up my booze. But at least I'm honest enough to admit it and move on with my life. And not pretend one of the most conservative, pro-American demographics in America is more dangerous than thug socialism, Islamic terrorism, facist Marxism or one of the real threats facing us.
Huh? Who is saying that Mormons are more dangerous than Islamic terrorists?
Also, I may have missed it, but where specifically has colorcountry expressed “hatred” for Mormons in general (as opposed to hating Mormon doctrine and the activities of Mormon apologists/leaders)?
You’re ill-informed post regarding CC speaks volumes of you though.
But I won’t stoop to calling you a “liar”.
Attack the messenger, not the message.
Marginalize the messenger by calling them a “hater”, put them on the defensive, get them off the topic and into the mode of having to defend themselves instead of being able to get their message out.
Just a curiosity can you show me one post that says “we hate mormons”. Just one.
We have far more important things to deal with, like Muslims attacking us, the failure of our government at the hands of socialist, the Chinese and illegal immigrants. We need to get each one of those under control, one at a time because we can't do more than one thing at a time.
The fact that we saved ourselves and our allies from these earthly threats is far more important then letting those same allies, friends all, waltz blithely through the gates of hell when they slip this mortal coil by natural causes instead of the Muslims we saved them from.
Or perhaps some multitasking is in order...
Here are some excerpts from my posting history, that you call me a liar for proclaiming my conversion to Christ is very telling:
To: SZonian; teppe
I am another apostate Mormon and I sympathize with you and the chore that you are faced with in teaching your family about the true nature of God.
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.

Saundra,
I believe you gave your life to Christ many years ago. I hope you always remember that he died to save you, to show His complete love for you, and that you can add nothing to His gift. There is nothing higher than His gift to you.
I pray that you remember the omnipotent God, who is the all, the one and only, who has no equal in all the universe, and know that He created you.
I pray that you always remember and realize that human effort at making themselves good, is puny and self-absorbed, especially when it gives them pride and self-importance and places themselves as savior of themselves.

I was a sixth generation, young, working mother of five, married to an abusive husband withing the LDS framework.
I never could do enough to feel “worthy.” I often had thoughts of despair and reasoned that my life was miserable because I wasn’t doing enough or being enough. I wasn’t the perfect wife, mother, daughter, employee. I only baked bread twice a week, could never find enough time to attend the Temple or properly prepare my primary lessons for Sunday. My five children were never clean enough, nor well-behaved enough. My husband was never satisfied and he took it out on me. I guess he too was having feelings of abject failure to the Mormon god who demands perfection.
When I was finally on the verge of suicide, Christ found me. He reached down into the depths of my despair and rescued me - a fallible sinner.
I pray this billboard can touch the lives of those other poor women who “can’t be perfect” enough. He offers solace that Prozac cannot touch.
Words such as false, inaccurate, incorrect do not attribute motive and are not "making it personal."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
>>”Your posting history tells very little about your conversion to Christ and a lot about your hatred of Mormons.”<<
Very good response! Near perfect.
Amen brother! I'll drink to that.
