Here is an interesting article called Divorce and the LDS Church
The tagline was supplied by one of our LDS FReeper friends. The video still makes me laugh until my stomach hurts :-) We’re so ridiculous!
Calling me a liar? Against forum rules
Where did I ‘bear false witness’? I spoke of my experience and it is the truth.
It is Mormons who ‘lie for the Lord’. Christians don’t need to and I am telling the truth.
Mormons (when in their own company) say many horrible and mocking things about Christians (especially Born Again Christians) then turn around and say they are Christians, too, even though their own teachings are that they are the ONLY ‘true’ Christians.
What got me out of Mormonism was people who confronted my beliefs, told me I was wrong, showed me context of the Bible and asked me questions. Those Christians who ‘treaded lightly’ i thought were nice people but I had ZERO respect for them (as a Mormon)because I saw them as not having enough faith to tell me the truth, they would rather I liked them.
And for awhile I did hate those who confronted me (a Christian bookstore owner in Provo being one of them), but after I came to Christ I saw that if it hadn’t of been for them, I would still be Mormon.
If my method doesn’t work with someone then God will place someone else in their path. I have no fear of running people off of Christ, since He is more powerful than i could ever be.
And FWIW, I spend a lot of time in prayer before and during posting to the LDS. I do this out of love there is not hatred here other than the hatred spewed at us by Mormons and some who claim to be Christians, and a few atheists.
Words such as "false" "wrong" "error" do not attribute motive.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Interesting case of mindreading dude
I thought so too, accusing someone of lying is usually a sign of not being able to carry the debate.
That is PRESICELY the issue!
The foundation of Momonism's relationship to Christianity rests on a claim that Christians find unacceptable and abhorrent.
Every sweet-faced little Mormon sunday school child is taught this and knows this through and through. It is drummed into the hearts and minds of those who work so very hard to become temple worthy, and the attitude is crystallized by ceremony in Mormon temples world-wide.
It doesn't matter how sweetly stated the disdain for Christianity is, the attitude is undeniable. Fundamental Mormon doctrine calls Christianity both abomination and whoredom.
Nice isn't it.
And I know of at least five people who joined the church due to threads like this one
Praise be to God!
God bless you for your heartfelt, if misguided efforts.

Hey LC I went to the site, and didn’t see any of the post list stuff, is that yours?
P.S. I for one had a blast on my mission, I just concentrated on what I was supposed to be doing. Had no time to “get in trouble”.
Good job PD, but don’t expect a rational response.
Often times, those who leave the church. Just can’t leave the church alone.
I personally think they still know, or at least suspect, the church is true. That’s why they get so bent out of shape when we tell people to pray about it.
My wife is a Latter Day Saint, a good one according to the rest of them. She is a temple worker. I go to church with her on occasion where I am treated with respect.
I have never heard another Christian Church referred to as non-Christian. I have NEVER heard anyone call someone from another Christian church a non-Christian.
Mormons say they are Christians simply because they try to follow Christ. I have accepted their definition.
I know many of you will say they worship a different Christ but you are wrong. They worship the Christ that was Crucified for the sins of man-kind. They worship the Christ that said He was the Son of God. They worship the same Christ that the God of Heaven announced to the world when Christ was baptized.
They do attribute a different theology of Christ but still it is the same Christ.
They have extra scriptures but they also define their Christ by the Bible, both the Old and New Testament.
It is easy to find fault with any group. The Catholics of the Inquisition don't look too good by today's standards. The Salem witch trials don't look very Christian by today's standards but both people were trying to be the best Christians they could be.
The Mormons I have met say they are different than other Christian Churches because they have “all” of the truth and they have “all” of the priesthood but they have never claimed that other churches weren't Christian. Isn't that what all churches say, that their brand of Christianity is the right one? Why would you go to a church that says it is wrong?
Do the Mormons try to get me to be one of them? Sure they do but they are very polite about it. If I needed to join another church group it would be hard not to consider them, they really are nice people. All the slander I hear here about them is just that, slander. It is not Christian to say untrue things about anyone.
You can say they are wrong all you want, perhaps you are right, but when you say they are not Christian and that they say vile things about other churches you my friend know different Mormons than I know.
I really think you should give it a rest.
Wow!
Know anyone who started eating mud after stepping in a puddle?
Please name and cite some examples.

The biggest is saying they worship a different Christ and God. I thought I made that pretty clear in my post, if I didn’t then I apologize.
The people Who see the outlandish accusations on threads like this and get curious about the truth are why I keep posting here. It’s very gratifying to branch to a private conversation, and later be invited to a baptism. Makes all the “stuff” we put up with on the forum worth it.
