Never really studied the depths of their beliefs that are so controversial here. I don’t like people bashing others faiths and then I end up doing pretty much the same thing so I apologize.

Much effort has been put forth to refute this 'bashing' sense. The threads you've been on place mormon teachings and doctrines juxtaposed against historical Christian theology - and this is 'bashing'. When mormons openly challenge historical Christian doctrines and teachings, once again it is 'bashing' for Christians to present the truth.

Provided this is the same Jen Shroder who's website has a section devoted to 'false shepards' - then I'm underwhelmed.

Lol Godzilla

You know some of the attitudes, including mine, have been less than loving on this thread. And when it goes further, I sometimes call it bashing. (eek)

I’m probably being overly sensitive because it’s a downfall of my own.

And yep, I addressed ‘false shepherds’ that close their eyes to what’s happening to our kids in public schools, (i.e., asked to get on their hands and knees and pray to Allah repeating their allegiance to Allah by heart) because they were more concerned with the tithes of the academic professionals of which my community is largely made up of.

The day our pastors close their eyes to children being asked to follow Joseph Smith and praise Memoni or whatever his name is, is the day I’ll get on my soapbox and pretty much write the same thing.

I could not believe the excuses I heard. One pastor told me he wouldn’t address it because he stayed away from things like what flavor of cupcakes for the bake sale (something like that)

That happened years ago. Guess which churches flourished exponentially and which dwindled in my community? And I honestly did not go after them individually or rant to other moms, I had bigger fish to fry at that time.

And the best day was the day I ran into my son’s middle school principal at my church, where the pastor actually pointed out the errors in what is taught in public school. What a turn around. He’s come a long way from telling me he was a Christian and God had no problem with our kids on their hands and knees to other gods.

Praise God.
