I was just voted Secretary. So I now have more power than the WM, I’m told.

We’ll see. No shortage of egos in our lodge or any other for that matter.

LOL

I would guess that most if not all of those who currently post as whining mormons are just trouble makers who are trying to muddy the waters of real religious conversation and debate.

I believe some fit your description, but others don't seem to be able to bring anything to the debate table except their "testimony"....which they have every right to. However, as long as the mormon church continues to demand to be called "Christian" after more than a hundred years of demeaning Christianity and has tens of thousands of missionaries telling Christians they can only gain salvation by becoming mormon and turning their backs on the Biblical Christ, the Pro-Christians will be posting actual mormon doctrine on FR. This is done because the "milk before meat" approach by mormons to investigators deliberately fails to allow people to honestly make a decision that affects their eternal soul.

As a former mormon who listened for years to leaders proclaim from the podium lies about Christianty, I feel the same outrage at mormons now demanding to be called Christian as you express in your posts.

Joseph Smith founded mormonism based on his hatred and disdain for "all" professors of Christianity and then produced a doctrine that is miles away from Biblical Christianity. There really isn't a "do-over" for that especially when Smith is idolized and glorified daily.

So no other religion has “ever” changed a doctrine?

MORMONism's 'doctrines' come STRAIGHT from the mouth of GOD!

IGNORE them at your OWN risk!

Ill give you $1,000 if you can stay quiet long enough for the rocks to cry out.

If you WISH hard enough...

(Perhaps you've inadvertantly explained why the MORMON Living Prophet® has had SO little to report from GOD these last umpteen years.)

Honest Debate” must involve an impartial moderator who enforces the rules fairly and evenly.

WHAT 'rules'; you fool!

This is RELIGION!

It can either stand on what it's history is or it can't - no matter HOW badly ELSIE offends you!

This isn't a forum, not for any real exchange, but more akin to a religious meat-grinder as pertains to the Latter Day Saints.

Poor baby!

Stay away, by ALL means, from us BUTCHERS!


MORMONism is getting ground up finer and finer in the grist mill of TRUTH.

You’ve shown how MORMONism regards the bible quite well!

If they had existed.

What do you MEAN 'if'!!??

I'm quite sure that if we WANTED to, Hill Cumorah would PROVE MORMONism beyond a DOUBT; with it's vast trove of archeological finds!

I have rarely participated on the Religion Forum because I do not like the behavior of some of these people.

Some?

Come on and name names!

We can take it!

I believe some of the big mouthed idiots on this board posing as Mormons are just a bunch of anti mormon trolls...

You tell 'em Sister; for I have said that same thing for quite a long time!

But the small mouthed ones, who ARE MORMONs, don't seem to do a very good job of defending MORMONism; either.

And yes, if I think someone is pretending to be a member of my church I will make that “mighty big accusation” if I believe it to be true.

How does we know that YOU ain't the 'paid one' to make us MORMONs look dumber than we are?

So, once again, all I see from you is baseless accusations. Mother; I've learned (from SOMEbody) that PRESBYTERIANism is UNTRUE."

Just like liberals are trolls on this conservative forum, atheists are trolls on this Religion Forum.

Although they may post on the RF, they should not expect "fair and equal" treatment under the RF guidelines.

Likewise, I put up with occasional misbehavior from oldtimers that I would quickly nuke or ban a newbie for doing.

Free Republic is pro-God and the meaning is Judeo/Christian God. Islamic Fundamentalists, Wiccans and the like have no voice because their beliefs would be flame bait just like liberal views on the News/Activism forum.
