We bought 4 cases before we left CA, and every relative who comes to visit ‘pays’ us in cases from there. For us it is an 8 hour drive to buy it. Good thing our basement is a perfect wine cellar (that and we have an electric wine cellar that is temp controlled).

However the Savior LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible thought me well qualified to shed His blood on the Cross and die for...

Lost sinner...saved by grace...

Oh and when I bought the 4 cases, they asked me “are you having a party?” I responded “No, just moving to beer country”. :D

LOL! I'm a never-mo, too. I just married an apostate, who freaked out when she found out I loved Battlestar Galactica when I was growing up. When I asked her why, she explained Mormon doctrine to me. Then I freaked out!

When I walk in the door at Trader Joe’s in Vegas they all yell...He’s Back.....

My son and I loaded twenty cases in my truck. We always buy a few of the better stuff for the first hour pour. After a while they drink anything and everything.

And thirty artists from all over the country go through it on the first night. The next day we head for the Border Store in Fredonia AZ and by half gallons of jug wine.

LOL. I would have brought more but we were out of room in the moving truck as it was. I had to decide between my sewing stuff and the wine. The wine won. My inlaws are on their way out and so we placed a ‘trader joe’s order’ with them and asked them to bring my sewing stuff I left behind.

If you're referring to a non-Trinitarian viewpoint you'd be correct and I have no problem sharing that viewpoint with those of a Mormon persuasion ... I'm not convinced of an human sacrifice for the purpose of atonement.

What is your non-Trinitarian viewpoint? What is your view of atonement? Inquiring minds want to know!

“I don’t know where they are, but Jesus does and they are doing His will.”

Normandy, are you referring to the mormonic jesus - the created spirit being who later became a god in the mormonic pantheon of henotheistic gods?

or are you referring to the Biblical Jesus Christ, who
never was created or made, but is eternally God, the second
Person of the Triune Christian God?

Which one?

"When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now." John 2:9-10

I will no longer assume that the LDS know their own religion.
_________________________________________

Maybe Sandy doesnt yet know some vital things about her chosen religion...

after all she has only been there for ten years and she is only a female...

she doesnt get to go into the “priesthood” meetings where some of this is taught...

just how much of religion can you learn as you sit around gossiping with other airheaded females crocheting doilies ???

All the mormon females kinow is what they have been told...get married to a mormon and he will “call” you out of the grave...

The truth of the REAL Gospel scares Sandy...she has said so several times...

And so it should...its meant to...Jesus never intended the Truth of Savation to be touchy feely...

A watered down Gospel is no good and doesnt save anyone...Jesus had some hard words to say and He died a hard death to save us...mere sweat did not say anyone...

BTWE talking about water, the dead dunkinbg that the mormons invented doesnt save anyone either...

jesus came to savve the world but not all the world will be saved...

I’m sure that I’m on someones list as a brownie point to win some time as a dead dunkee just for saying that Truth...

HEY !! Sandy and you other lurking mormnons...

You can promise yourself that you can wait until I’m dead and then dead dunk me religiously early and often ...

But you wont change the spiritual condition I died in one iota...

You cant drag me out of Heaven where I went as a believing christian down into mormondom and your “outer darkness” just because you hate the truth I tell you anymore than than you can place Joey Smith into Heaven from Hell where Jesus condemned him too...

all the many dead dunkings of MY dead relatives that are not in YOUR family, who chose to die as Christians and rejected cultish heresies like mormonism while they were alive has failed to make mormons of them...

Ya know it must really tick Jesus off to see such blasphemy and unbelief done supposedly in His name...

And sandy you cut and pasted about vomit from the FARMS, FAIR LDS .org sites who know no more than you do about Jesus and the Bible...

This is for you kid...you and Joey Smith, the 52,000 mormon missionaries and the other mormons who turn their backs on the REAL Jesus and spew the lies of mormonism...

You posted part of it earlier not knowing what it meant...

These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.” 2 Peter 2:17-21

Blood Oaths....secret or hidden rites and agendas....and talismans should give anyone even remotely aware of God, a clear heads up....wrong direction!

We are living at a time where so many are searching for answers but fail to see there are traps set along the way to keep people from knowing the truth of Christ. Any diversion will do and they are plentiful now...because the enemy of men's souls know his time is short. Attacks against Christians is going to get worse.

We see Christianity taking huge hits now where one would never have thought possible this would be....and it's storm-trooping into the churches at record pace....not even subtle but blatant and in your face.....evidencing that it won't be long til God pulls down the curtain and says it's closing time folks.

There are still remaining some who want the truth....and there is a hefty battle for their souls....even Christians are being misled thru deception and lies. But then Christ did say this would come as that time drew near.

My hats off to those standing strong in the faith....the war is not over yet but we are on the winning team! let's hope and pray we'll bring more with us!

LOL Always hide the good stuff. In a crowd of four hundred there might be ten that know the difference.

The problem with that theory is that I was female and only a member a few years when I was being told (by life long members) that I knew more than most members (and I did). So being female and a convert is NO excuse for not knowing (or trying to defend) your religion.

Maybe it is laziness? Or just not paying attention and believing what you are told every week rather than reading up on it. I don’t know.

Youre reading what you want to. Im not annoyed at the length of the posts. I was just telling someone that I wasnt gonna read something that long, because it is likely not an original thought.

Did you even read reaganut’s post. He was complaining because one religion was allowed to say anything they wanted, and it bothered him. He is happy that now they can fight back,

reaganut typed out that he was bothered by free expression of religion.
