No, it was taught in the adult classes. They don’t use the term, but they do teach the principle. Google it. And yes, it was the LDS church (4 different wards) and BYU. Robert millet is a HUGE proponent of it.
And you are right that it is pathetic that they lie to potential converts and outsiders. Why the Hell can’t they just tell the truth? Oh yeah, because no one would join.
Want me to post quotes from your leaders? I can.
BTW, Smith also lied about polygamy as did others. D&C 132 wasn’t canonized until the late 1800’s, after they removed the D&C section that DENOUNCED polygamy. More evidence of lying for the Lord.
Christians don’t need to lie and we never lie to new Christians or outsiders. We don’t need to...the LDS however apparently do.
The missionaries also lied (or failed to mention) MANY doctrines during the discussions prior to my joining. Again, lying for the Lord.
It is the Mormon cult that is pathetic.
On the other string I wrote:
I remember that tithing and the WOW were never brought up when I was on mission. It was always brought up after baptism in an, Oh By the Way did you know you need to pay that ten percent and you cannot drink coffee anymore?
Its tough for salesmen (missionaries) to always tell all the truth when youre trying so hard to make a deal. That pressure on the young missionaries is overwhelming to produce, produce, produce! And theyre on top of you virtually every day. Its enough to make you want to quit the church. LOL
Car salesmen never tell all the hidden costs. Get the signature on that line brother, then well tell you the rest.
Please post away if it makes you feel good. Maybe your sidekicks can post away as they see fit also.
Question for you or any of your sidekicks: As a Mormon did any of you ever lie about Mormon history or Mormon teachings?
Joseph Smith hit the Satanic trifecta:
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10>
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
2 Pet 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
