BTW as a mormon female you dont have the mormon pesthood...
so you dont have the authority, the power, the discernmemt to decide what mormons believe...
But not to worry...
as a Christian with authority directly from the Christian Jesus of the Christian Bible...
I’ll help you out...
Stick around me, kid and I’ll pass onto you what I know and hear from the Holy Spirit...
:)
Please do so. What is the "Gospel?"
I'll be waiting.
We Mormons are a peculiar people. Indeed.

Orson Pratt was married to ten women. At age 57 Pratt married a sixteen year old girl, his tenth wife Margaret Graham, younger than his daughter Celestia, causing his first wife Sarah, an outspoken critic of polygamy, to lash out in an 1877 interview,
| Here was my husband, gray headed, taking to his bed young girls in mockery of marriage. Of course there could be no joy for him in such an intercourse except for the indulgence of his fanaticism and of something else, perhaps, which I hesitate to mention.[6] | |
Pratt and all of his wives and children struggled with poverty.[7]
In 1886, Orson's wife Sarah Pratt claimed in an interview that, while in Nauvoo, Illinois, Joseph Smith, Jr. was attracted to her and intended to make her "one of his spiritual wives" while Orson was in England on missionary service.[8] To Smith's proposal Sarah replied, "Am I called upon to break the marriage covenant to my lawful husband! I never will. I care not for the blessings of Jacob, and I believe in NO SUCH revelations, neither will I consent under any circumstances. I have one good husband, and that is enough for me."[9] Pratt issued an ultimatum to Smith: "Joseph, if you ever attempt any thing of the kind with me again, I will tell Mr. Pratt on his return home. Depend upon it, I will certainly do it," [10] a warning that elicited the threat from Smith, "Sister Pratt, I hope you will not expose me; if I am to suffer, all suffer; so do not expose me. If you should tell, I will ruin your reputation, remember that." After her husband Orson returned from England, Pratt later claimed an incident between Pratt and Smith at her home occurred, and "Sarah ordered the Prophet out of the house, and the Prophet used obscene language to her [declaring that he had found Bennett in bed with her]," according to Sarah Pratt's neighbor, Mary Ettie V. Smith.[10] Sarah told her husband about the incident; Orson took Sarah's side and confronted Smith, who denied Sarah's allegation and responded that she was Bennett's lover.[7] The resulting estrangement between Smith and Orson Pratt, who stood by Sarah in preference to the denials of Joseph, who warned his disciple that "if [Orson] did believe his wife and follow her suggestions he would go to hell,[11].
However, in the local and Mormon press, Sarah Pratt was accused of having had an adulterous relationship, not with Smith, but with Bennett, and numerous affidavits were printed in local and pro-Mormon Nauvoo publications,[12][13] including the leading councils of the church and from members such as Jacob B. Backenstos, a relative of the sheriff of Hancock County. Van Wagoner has dismissed the adultery charges against Sarah Pratt as "highly improbable" and that J. B. Backenstos's affidavit stating that Bennett continued the adulterous relationship with Sarah Pratt after Orson returned from England could "be dismissed as slander."[7]
Orson Pratt became estranged from the church and Smith. Wilford Woodruff stated that "Dr. John Cook Bennett was the ruin of Orson Pratt".[14] Van Wagoner and Walker note that, on August 20, 1842, "after four days of fruitless efforts at reconciliation, the Twelve excommunicated Pratt for 'insubordination' and Sarah for 'adultery'".[15]
Orson soon returned to the church and denounced Bennett. Van Wagoner cites a letter written by Orson's brother Parley P. Pratt,
| Bro. Orson Pratt is in the church and always has been & has the confidence of Joseph Smith and all good men who know him....As to Bennett or his book [The History of the Saints, 1842] I consider it a little stooping to mention it. It is beneath contempt & would disgrace the society of hell and the Devil....His object was vengeance on those who exposed his iniquity.[7] | |
Orson wrote a postscript to his brother's letter: "J.C. Bennett has published lies concerning myself & family & the people with which I am connected".[7]

This is what I believe and I am not ashamed to shout it from the rooftops.

I will be happy to climb up on my rooftop and shout about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
________________________________________
You promised me that SIX WEEKS AGO...
I’m still waiting...
We would all be lost if it werent for Him and His Atoning Sacrifice.
__________________________________________
If that so called “atoning sacrifice” of the under arm sweat of your mormon jesus is all you are relying on, then yes...
You are still lost...
Heck, I’d be impressed if she’d just tell us in print on FreeRepublic.
Please, please, please, Sandy - - tell us, what is the Gospel?
Do you need a hint? http://lds.org
Real Jesus Christ placemarker
Why is this offensive to you?
________________________________________
Kid I’m laughing my butt off...
I’m not a bit offended...
But I also feel sorry for you...
Why are you offensive when I inform your non-mormon pesthood self and therefore non-discerning, that you are believing a lie and you are deceiived by religious demons ???
Yes, I will shout it from the rooftops.
_______________________________________________
Again with the empty promises...
But then you dont have anything of substance to shout about...
How do you shout anything from those pointy wedding cake type roofs?
Its Saundra’s shout not mine...
she’s buying...
What’ll ya have
:)
Oh wrong kind of shout...
Well i guess when a mormon boasts its up to the boastees (the ones who were boated to) to pick the time and place...
And then the boaster comes across (or not)
I just figured the most comfortable place for Saundra to do her shouting would be the roof of the SLC mormon temple...
Look at the temple recommend brownie points she would earn err work for herself
Ya think I should give her the option of St Patrick’s Cathedral ??? A St Patrick Day’s theme ???
Do the Baptist’s have any real big tall buildings ???
Saundra wants a big crowd...she wants to be seen... mormon PR is always big...
:)
I worry about that shout if Sandy shouts what she is writing on FR (with the exception “I am a mormon”), they may boot her out.
Ya does yer boasting, ya pays yer money, ya takes yer chances...
You think the Catholics will be more understanding ???
OK let’s make it St Patricks cathedral...
Saundra can tell the Catholics up close what Joey Smith thought of them
I worry about that shout if Sandy shouts what she is writing on FR (with the exception I am a mormon), they may boot her out.
______________________________________________
I thought she was suppose to “bear her testimony” ???
(possible accompanying comments censorred)
If she does it during so called “sacrament time” it should be OK..
Monson might get up there with her...he loves to preen...
And Larry King...the ratings will go through the foof...
Hmmm bad choice of words...
Why would God choose as his prophet the adopted son of a pagan princess, a man who killed another man and tried to cover it up?
Why would God choose as an apostle a zealous bigot who persecuted innocent Christians and assented in their deaths?
Why would God choose any of us for any purpose, miserable sinners that we are?
Whatever his faults, Joseph Smith was chosen by God to be his prophet. I am not inclined to question God's choices.
(You need not respond to the latter point: I will take it as given that you do not believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet. We will simply have to agree to disagree.)
By the way, your logic is still faulty. If God chooses to reveal anything to us by whatever means, we can rest assured that it will give no advantage to Satan.
Why would God choose any of us for any purpose, miserable sinners that we are?
The mormon god makes conditions...the Christian God loves us unconditionally and chooses us..sins and all. Do you not know that there was only ONE perfect Man?
"Jesus Comforts His Disciples 1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. John 14;1-3
He doesn't say I will come back and take you to be with me...IF....
He doesn't set little chores for us to do, nor set mortal men to judge our "worthiness" as does the mormon god.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Rom 10:9
There has been no "restoration". Christ died that we may live.
