They are written down as scripture and have never been changed, glossed over, hidden, modified or over-ridden. They are not superceded by the next prophet. They do not permit me to stop thinking and obey blindly.
They stand proudly and strong to this day.
Hi TMF,
Not sure why you might think Mormons are blind followers.
The Latter-day Saints I associate with are strong and independent thinkers who have received the same testimony that I have.
After searching for a long time, and not finding anything that was satisfying, I have found something that is true. The assurance that the witness of the Holy Spirit brings is evidence enough.
Best regards,
Normandy
Who was He speaking to...and explain the CONTEXT.
If you don't know...please don't quote Scripture like the Liberal Left does.
Interesting admission.......
Well, I’ll never give up on you Norm.
Normandy,
“The Latter-day Saints I associate with are strong and independent thinkers”
I’m hoping you are not including yourself in that statement.
If so, I want to gently point out that you’ve not demonstrated
this through your posts here.
So far, over a year of posts, all you’ve demonstrated is
that you have feelings.
No facts
No evidence
No logical argument
Just subjective feelings to make a claim of truth - and
with nothing else to back it up.
That requires NO thinking.
Please send your associated mormons to FreeRepublic to
demonstrate some strong, independent thinking. We need
them desperately!
best,

This is nothing more than anti-mormon hate. Beliefs do not equal lies. Catholics do not call born-agains liars if they do not believe in their doctrine and likewise catholics and all christian are granted the same amount respect by Mormons. I am a Mormon and feel sick to my stomach when I read something like this and all the comments that agree. This is hate masked as something else.
“This is nothing more than anti-mormon hate. “
Please point out a single post that “hates” a single mormon.
Just one will do.
If necessary, please explain exactly how it is hateful, since it is not obvious to non-mormons.
Please do not confuse mormonism with mormons in your explanation.
thanks,

“I am a Mormon and feel sick to my stomach
when I read something like this and all the
comments that agree. This is hate masked as
something else.”
Well, we have that in common. I feel sick
to my stomach when I see a false gospel that
leads people to a Christless eternity by
substituting a gospel of works and worthiness
and alters the image of God into one of many
created things - idolatry.
Maybe, what you are really feeling is the
realization that mormonism has not led you
closer to the truth, but further away...
as indeed, it has for every mormon.
You still have time to alter that.

My GGG-Grandfather was part of the Fancher-Baker wagon train. Or at least, he was until Mormon terrorists killed him at Mountain Meadows for being a non-Mormon.
So you might want to start looking for a rat . . .
My GGGgrandfather was John D. Lee. He killed yours. I’m sorry, even though he was executed for his part of the massacre he could never atone for the crime with his blood - only Christ can. Mormonism is truly evil.
Nothing for you to apologize for, colorcountry . . . although I admit I regret that one of my GG-grandfathers was with Custer at the Black Kettle massacre.
Now it's...
Hey!
It appears that...
Are you still around somewhere PD?
Hey, a blast from the past, (that Free Republic posting was from 2010, 4 years ago.)
Have fun and read this. It explains whats happening now:

Back in my naive days in college I agreed to have a Bible study with some Jehovah Witnesses that had knocked at the door of the house where I rented a room. After about four weeks of that nonsense I said “Well, I guess I’m not going to convert you, and you’re not going to convert me - so we might as well not keep meeting.”
The gal that lived up-stairs (and I shared the kitchen with) was a Mormon. We had some interesting talks. (Oh yeah - there was an older gal that rented a room and was into New Age stuff. With Dream Guides and stuff!)
I generally like Mormons too. Although I have visited places in Idaho and Utah that are mostly mormon, and they are very biased, and it is tough to get a job as a non-Morman.
Then it is probably time for you to EXAMINE all the stuff that Mormonism teaches and affirms.
