Hit and run poster...How nice!
More like slime and run...
WHY is it STUPID?
I posted your SCRIPTURES: the Word of Wisdom.
The COKE thing is a MORMON made up Doctrine of Man.
If you do NOT say otherwise; then I am a LIAR!
Oh, you won’t “win” the argument by continuing to ask, but you will win the war. We don’t continue to engage the LDS apologists for the sake of proving them wrong. We do it because they prove themselves wrong with every post and plenty of people are watching.
AWESOME!!!!
PD...your juvenile postings have not gone unnoticed. You are becoming a spectacle.
Eyeroll? Seriously PD, you'd better get that check, unless of course you have just one eye.
Praise God! And keep praying for those still trapped in the Mormon religion!!
It is AWESOME isn’t it?
And these are just the ones who go public and risk losing family and friends for doing so.
There are many, many more who just haven’t been able to pull the trigger, but are essentially jack mormons. I’ve met a few “lurkers” on some of the boards I go to who say they’ve lost the faith, but hang in there only because of family or ostracization etc. Sad.
Here’s a cool letter that will help put into perspective why many don’t/can’t just walk away.

Remember, I live right here in Utah. At work luncheons or BBQs, or around my neighborhood, I will see my Mormon friends, neighbors and coworkers holding a Sprite in one hand and a double cheeseburger with the other.
Tritip steak is almost a sacrament. Dutch oven cookoffs are a man-sport around here and Chili and Brisket recipes abound. There are entire cookbooks and websites with Mormon recipes for meat. Just google "Mormon Beef Recipes".
And the potbellies, ahem, "testify" to the well-fed-ness of these people, and they can't blame the beer now, can they. I hear plenty of complaints among the middle-aged men around here about cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes, TBM, Jack Mormon and "gentile" alike.
Seems like a Diet Coke and a tuna salad sandwich would be much more in the spirit of the law, whcih is supposedly to guard one's health.

Remember, this is their SCRIPTURE, not a suggestion. Also note the promises made to those who keep this law - I'm afraid there are plenty of LDS around here that get very weary from walking and would die of a heart attack if they tried to run. (Blasemphy to Isaiah a whole 'nother thread)
But IMO...it's no different than many highly educated folks are liberals.
Maybe it's the lack of critical thinking skills....Maybe they are just easily swayed.
I dunno....but I think a whole lot of it is explained by their mom and dad were mormons and so they are. Not unlike Democrats and Liberals....
LOL!
Not in the SE they don't. Mello Yellow, Coke, Diet Coke and a whole host of other caffeinated sodas were always plentiful at LdS social events. Especially during the pig roasts where we would gorge ourselves on SC pit bbq. YUM! What's a WoW!!??
Some read more into it than is there, others read it "literally".
That surprised me when we moved from Las Vegas to SC. The adherence to WoW was quite different between the two.
Maybe....but "All your answers are on these links"...might qualify.
