I'm looking to date an LDS woman and am starting to read this LDS stuff as it might give me some insights and preparation. This article on humility doesn't seem so bad. Strange prophets are to be expected etc.

i really hope she is not active or try to hypnotize me in my sleep and I wake up with hair like Romney.

Don't worry. Only "the prophet" gets to sleep with women they're not married to....(legally).

Now...should you fall asleep on the couch while watching tv with her............well.....just be careful.. /s

Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on the top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet. You know my daily walk and conversation. I am in the bosom of a virtuous and good people. How I do love to hear the wolves howl! When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go.
Joseph Smith 1844

It’s not exactly humble to believe that with some effort you can score enough points to be equal with God.
It’s not humble to believe that your priesthood powers make you one of the kings of the earth.

Humility and Mormonism are contradictions in terms.

Mormon Missionary Deception Method:

1. Convince you of their sincerity
2. Trick you into expressing faith first in the Book of Mormon by praying and asking for a sign (this takes you off the objective ground of Biblical truth and puts you into subjective ground of feelings)
3. Convince you that the Bible has errors in its translation
4. Trick you into expressing faith in the prophet Joseph Smith
5. Trick you into expressing faith in the Restoration of the “Gospel” (see Galatians Chapter one)
6. Get you all the way into the baptismal font...

..........................................................

7. ONLY THEN... you will learn the true DEVIANT doctrines of
Mormonism. At this point, it is too late! You only have
feelings as a basis of truth! You will believe anything.

..........................................................

Such as the following “truths” taught in mormonism ...

The 3 Mormon Earth gods:

The mormon “Heavenly Father” used to be a regular Joe, but became God.
The Jesus of mormonism was a created spirit being who became one of the three mormon earth gods
The mormonic Holy Spirit is also a created spirit being. He doesn’t have a body because he is on probation! Yes, he was naughty. He sinned.

In short, the mormon earth gods are sinful, created spirit beings. But there is more...

The FOURTH Mormon Earth God!

The Mormon Heavenly Mother God!

Yes, believe it or not, it turns out there is a mormonic “Mother God!”

... SHE and the father god have sex
... SHE is eternally pregnant
... SHE pops out spirit children who will some day get a human body on earth
... SHE is probably not alone! Mormons still believe and teach eternal polygamy.

The Mormonic Pantheon of gods:

There are TRILLIONS of mormon gods on other planets.
Hindus have approximately 350 million gods. They are
pikers compared to mormons!

How do they get so many gods? They manufacture more all the
time:

... Any mormon male can be a God with his own planet, mother goddesses, and spirit kids to worship him.
... Becoming a mormon god means lots of works to attain the god-level. This is why you see mormons working so hard. Now you know why.
... Speaking of levels, heaven has three levels.
... All the trillions of gods in the mormon pantheon get together regularly over spring break in Kolob Beach to “counsel together”

What will your life be like as a mormon?

... you have to give 10%?
... your bishop is there to ask if you gave your FULL tithe
... your bishop is also there to ask many probing, personal, embarrassing questions
... Did we mention you will
... you will have to complete Masonic Temple rituals that involve strangers touching your private parts
... You will have to wear magic underwear 24/7/365

Once inside the Morg, you have to accept it ALL to move up the chain towards Godhood.

Do you deny your founder Joseph Smith was a convicted criminal?

Do you deny that his successor Brigham Young engineeredand ordered the “Mountain Meadows Massacre” like Al Capone engineered his Valentine for Bugs Moran and the north-siders?

Your evasion and silence in answering my questions speaks volumes.

ummm.... i really doubt that any of that is going to happen. I tend to challenge folks about their belief system and invariably unhinge a lot of folks.

She seems very nice and im just looking to date her not toss her into a volcano. But thanks!

And if, as they so strongly believe, Joseph Smith, Jr., will sit next to Jesus when we pass through the Pearly Gates to ALSO decide if we go to Heaven or nor, why do they have the name Jesus Christ in their heading? Should it be the

On the contrary. The answers to your “issues” are found at the links provided. Not silent and no evasion. Just not playing games.

Your hair would be the least of your worries as a mormon.

I’m wondering about Bobby Jindal — he’s had a lot of good experience as a governor.

Those alleged answers are nothing but pure prevarication, a complete tissue of lies, and a collection of falsehoods and fibs.

I’ll trust the records of the New York State court system before I ever believe anything in a science-fiction book that’s only a half-notch above the tripe written by L. Ron Hubbard.

Yinz do have a terrific choir, though, I will hand you that.

What does the Lord expect of us as Latter-day Saints? What does He expect of me as a member of this Church...There is no room in the heart of a Latter-day Saint for bitterness, for unkindness, for animosity to any other of the sons and daughters of God. They may not be of our faith, but we owe them an obligation to treat them as sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven - Gordon B. Hinckley, Meeting, Jakarta, Indonesia, 28 January 2000; cited in Liahona (February 2001)

Look at the time Christ spent with his followers Teaching them.PD tells them to look it up.

Christ told us to feed the hungry. Following PD’s approach, s/he tells the hungry to go to the fields and find some food. S/He tells the thirsty to go dig a well. S/He tells the naked to go weave some cloth and make some clothing on your own.

In the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says:

You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. —Matthew 5:38-42

But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. —Luke 6:27-31

You are not acting as Christ wants you to act, or how your church leaders tell you to act.

Excellent twisting! You’ll fit in just fine with the regular anti-Gang. Assuming you aren’t one of them on another account. Whatever I don’t suppose it matters.

You’ll be taught plenty at the sites provided. Is that what you want? I am getting that impression from your post.

You are right about one thing. I do get annoyed and perhaps aggravated at my brothers and sisters on FR that behave in a very un-Christlike manner towards me and others of my faith. I do better than I used to but there’s definitely room for improvement. Thanks for the reminder.

What was twisted? Please explain. Go through my post and show me what was twisted, and why.

Or is that to be found at the "links" you never sent as well?

No, I want an answer. I can't find my answer at links you never provided to me.

I want an answer to a simple question. Be like Christ. Christ taught his disciples, often quoting scripture, often using parables. Christ never told his disciples to go to links he never provided.

Christ wants you to be a teacher - "In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!" Hebrews 5:12 Give me one drop of milk, to understand Mormon writings.

And don't make false accusations. That is not Christ-like either.
