I just want to say thank you for pulling this thread out of its ‘caucus’ status and into the light for the rest of us who find the title highly objectionable to be able to comment and refute.
I’ve been of the opinion for some time that many LDS freepers have been using FR as a proslytizing website. When their doctrine is refuted using facts they usually start whining about being ‘bashed’ and ‘hated’. The individual mormon is not hated, but prayed for. The LDS organization/hierarchy is indeed hated as all Christians are commanded to not only hate but refute all false doctrine. There is a difference between the individual caught up in the lie and the false prophets/church by and from whom the individuals are kept deceived.
The responses coming in from Mormons as I am attempting to get caught up in the hundreds of posts so far are proving me to have probably been right in my initial analysis. Thanks Jim.
Amen and worth a repost. You hit the nail on the head:
