On all threads, but particularly open threads, posters must never make it personal. Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of making it personal. Making a thread about another Freeper is making it personal.
When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun you before hitting enter.
Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.
Thin-skinned posters will be booted from open threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

Its nice to see a NON-MUSLIM group of ANY denomination, proselytizing.
I support ANY NON-MUSLIMS in their religious endeavors.
"I don't think the intent of the Article of Faith was to make us vigilantes and gatekeepers and create anti-immigrant rhetoric and climate," said Ignacio Garcia, a Brigham Young University history professor. Those who come into this country illegally make hard choices, Garcia said. "It's a violation of the law, sure, but circumstances often force people to decide to break one law to obey the higher law"....
....The church takes a sort-of "don't ask, don't tell" approach to the immigration status of its own members. Some estimate that 50 percent to 75 percent of members in Utah's 100-plus Spanish-speaking congregations are undocumented. That includes many bishops, branch presidents, even stake presidents. The church sends missionaries among undocumented immigrants across the country, baptizing many of them without asking about their status. It also allows them to go to the temple and on missions.

Are the lds still “converting” illegals? There have been several articles written that tell of illegals in their mission work, and supported by SLC.
Now that’s outreach.
Well, you answered my question to foxx.
Except when it comes to illegals.
Hmm. Is there some reason that Mormon men (decidedly YOUNG men) can achieve the rank and receive the appellation elder instead of just "brother", while Mormon women are denied a similar honorific?
Haven't any Mormon women noticed this lack of appreciation and respect and spoken out about it?
Obviously mormons feel it is acceptable to poach on the turf of Christians while we have them howling and calling us "jihadists" about our so-called "bashing" of their religion.
If telling Catholics that the only way to salvation is through the mormon church, I'd call that "bashing", wouldn't you?
You betcha. Funny in all the years I have gone to church I have never once heard anyone say that you gain Salvation by being a member of a church, they have ALL said Salvation comes through Jesus Christ.

The vast majority of Mormons are Republican or independent.
The more hispanics that join the LDS church, the fewer hispanics that become active.
The church is extremely careful not to be partisan. However they encourage members to become involved in politics and to vote but discourage members voting without researching all of the issues.
When you ask Jesus to use people for the best are we talking about the created lds jesus or the Biblical eternal Jesus?
If what you are saying in this post is correct why then do lds vote for Reid and Romeny in such high numbers?
The moromon church _IS_ an outgrowth of Islam.
Joespeh Smith said so himself.
(Muttley snicker).
Lying for the mormon lord
Every nationally known mormon politician is liberal.
Every one of them.
My tagline explains the relationship between the lds and politics.
Ouch
Yep. lds trumps all else.
