Oh looky another half-baked anti-Mormon rant thread!
I invite you all to investigate the LDS faith more fully by not relying purely on well-practiced attack dogs that frequent these forums.
Do a little research on your own. You’ll find much of what you hear from anti-Mormons is based on half-truths and/or misrepresentations. Occasionally outright falsehoods. You want the truth right?
Seriously, thread after thread is chocked full of false and misleading statements. Some by those who profess to be ex-members. Well no wonder they left if they are so confused.
Don’t rely on people with an agenda. Find out for yourself.
Name one.
And the expression is "chock full"
Yet you are unable in all these canned posts to cite a single specific post to prove your point.
You just posted the same tripe on another thread and neither has ANY evidence of your claims.
I can PROVE that these statements ARE NOT lies, half-truths or misrepresntations using LDS’ OWN words and scriptures. Can you do the same? More baseless accusations from the LDS.
PROVE I AM LYING, go ahead, I DARE you.
The LDS are the ones with the agenda, they lie both to potential converts and THEIR OWN MEMBERSHIP.
But I do agree, research Mormonism, research both sides and DO NOT believe that they are Christian just because they are nice to you. The LDS are the ones with an agenda.
I am so tired of the LDS stealing my Lord and Savior and claiming to be Christians. Put up or shut up!
Seriously, thread after thread is chocked full of false and misleading statements. Some by those who profess to be ex-members. Well no wonder they left if they are so confused.

Prove it, you made an assumption, now prove it.
I left because I found out my own (LDS) church was LYING to me and whitewashing their history.
The fog of confusion was lifted when GOD pulled me out of the LDS church and opened my eyes.
Yet you come with nothing in had to back your charge...
Wonder why that is...
We’ve been waiting for you to post a rebuttal, any rebuttal that prove(s) your points. To date, you and other Mormons have not. The internet age has caught the LdS church in a vise and is slowly turning the spindle. Each day, more and more information comes to light. The truth can no longer be hidden from reasonable people.
I posted this once before and do so again and again...
I will preface the following with this; most mormons are good and decent people, like any other group of people, they have their bad apples. I am married to a mormon, a very active mormon. Works in the temple, so that should tell you that she is obeying the tenets of her faith.
For those who have been encouraged to research the LdS religion, I will tell you this as an apostate, a member of the Melchizidek Priesthood, temple recommend holder, sealed to my wife in the Washington D.C. temple, an active and fully participating member of the LdS for over 6 years.
A man whose eyes were finally opened because of the efforts of the very people on this board who have been accused of lying and attacking a religion that many of them know intimately because they were members at one time. Some were born into it, having family history that traces back to the founding of mormonism.
It goes without saying that the basis for the religion is JS. One must have complete faith in him and what he purported was the truth. Yet, for reasonable people, this is impossible because as we now know, he was a liar and a deceiver. A less than common manipulator, thief and adulterer. He took those traits to a whole other level.
If you subscribe to the belief that JS was an honorable, chaste and virtuous man, then one has been mislead. He was none of those, in fact, he was the antithesis of those values and morals.
It is well known that the LdS contradict themselves in their scripture, in their teachings and in their doctrine. They can’t reconcile their doctrine with the Bible, though they try, because in their Articles of Faith, they denigrate the Bible with the disclaimer “As far as it is translated correctly”. So from the beginning, they marginalized the Bible and its teachings in order to put in place their own perverted religion.
One need only look at those simple facts and it should be readily apparent that there is no truth to be found within mormonism. It is unbiblical and unchristian. Where in the Bible can one find the scripture that states that men can become gods? Where in the Bible can one find that men are to be rulers over kingdoms with a harem of women giving birth to “spirit babies” for eternity?
Sounds suspiciously like islam doesn’t it? The promise of 72 virgins comes to mind. Promise an earthly man eternal sex and you’re going to have quite a following.
For the lurkers or any other poster, I encourage you to please do as was recommended on this thread. Research mormonism, research the teachings, the doctrine, the history. Do so objectively, but do so by comparing a conventional KJV of the Bible to the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible to see the significant differences between the two. Do so by asking your pastor, church leader or a person you trust that has a knowledge of scripture. One you can trust to be reasonable and reasonably unbiased in helping you to discover the truth.
Don’t do so based on how nice a mormon is. Do so based on your desire for Biblical truth and your eternal salvation.
And yet YOU have NEVER posted any TRUE information to counter it!
Why not?
I'd be VERY happy with just one more UNTRUTH!!!
What did Joseph Smith learn to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANism?
Answer this one and then perhaps we'll talk.
