Yawn.
I’ve been lurking for quite a while and I just can’t quite get why people here think they are doing good by posting stuff like this. Sorry for assuming, but it sure seems like it’s more about the posters’ own egos than helping any poor deluded Mormons. Self-congratulation usually ends with only one set of hands clapping.
Erecting a tired out echo chamber for Mormon bashers every couple of days must get old at some point.
No, n00b, warning of impending doom that enthralls those captured by Momronism or endangered by Momronism lies doesn’t get ‘old’. But reading posts from stealth posters like yourself does get a bit tiresome. If you ever become Born Again, the family name and the Identity of the God of Creation will be of interest to you. The God of Christianity is not the same god as that of Mormonism. Would you like a few quotes from the founders of Mormonism which define the Momronism god and the Mormonism jesus? ... Even a non-Christian could discern the difference very easily.
In fact I think I will see if we can get a time out.
Certainly the Mormons will recall their 52000 salesmen for a brief respite.
Maybe the Muslims will play along and stay at home for a bit.
Hey, perhaps even old Beelzebub will shut hell down for a few months so we can all move on to other things for a while...
Yes sir a break in the eternal spiritual battle is in order, I am sure all will be on board with the idea...
Welcome to FR Noob.
Apparently you haven’t been “lurking” long enough or you’re either a mormon or a defender of mormons.
There are a few of us who have been and continue to be helped by the postings detailing the fallacies and heresies of mormonISM. They helped me leave mormonISM and I continue to post on their behalf and on behalf of others who may be contemplating leaving mormonISM.
These posts help me as an ex-mo because my wife and son are still members and when we discuss theology, I can point out simple things like this to expose the illogical and false premises that built the mormon church.
Like I said, IF you were “lurking for quite a while”, this would not be news to you and you might have rethought your post, it was and you didn’t.
Personally, I don’t give two bits what you care, you’re parroting the same crap many of the mormon apologist’s and their defenders do, so your position is known.
I post mine to rebut your inane and useless comment that is obviously borne out of falsehood.
Btw, delacoert, good post.
It never gets old for this crowd. It’s funny, if you can remain objective.
Well n00b, take the time and posit an ANSWER to the questions posed in the lead. Your failure to address any telegraphs a tendency to ignore even the simplest questions or have a faith too weak to be able to face them head on.
So, let’s see if I get this straight.
1. Ex-mormons post stuff bashing current mormons because they are upset at the way they lived for some period of their own lives.
2. Born Again Christians post stuff bashing mormons because they are right and hope that by “asking questions” their charity for the poor condemned mormon souls will be on full display.
3. Otherwise-mormon opponents are just smarter.
Got it. Yes, I could not imagine how none of this gets old.
When one of my kids asks me a question in whose answer I know they aren’t at all interested, I don’t bother responding. Sometimes it’s also because I don’t have a great answer, but mostly it’s just a waste of time and energy. Since you guys seem to have all the answers already, I guess you fall into the second category.
As an aside, what’s with the juvenile noob comments?
"Make the posters the issue, not the issues."
As of December 31, 2009, there were 51,736 LDS missionaries serving in 344 church missions throughout the world. Their work, often in cooperation with local members, resulted in 280,106 convert baptisms in 2009.[12] Author David Stewart points out that the number of convert baptisms per missionary per year has fallen from a high of 8.03 in 1989 to just 4.67 in 2005.[13] He argues that the number of converts would increase if Mormon missionaries made greater efforts in meeting new people; he points out that the average companionship spends only four or five hours per week attempting to meet new people.[13]
How terrible it is that a handful of Christians post a handful of threads per week on FreeRepublic to counter the proselytizing efforts of the missionaries and public relations campaign of the mormon church. Don't you just feel SO sorry that the poor, persecuted mormons aren't able to have their message heard?
Assumption apology accepted.
