Some day I'd like to experience the same, I just don't get the ongoing bashing of Mormon's here.

I mean WTF, so you don't agree with the religion, neither do I, but I don't bash it 24/7.....I don't agree with Catholicism either but sheesh.

It was nice. Felt very small town and everyone was very nice. Skiing looked ok although we didnt get a chance. We did go snowmobiling (company sponsored) which was really cold but fun.

Mountains aren’t as grand as Colorado.

Mormonism sends out 52,000 missionaries worldwide every day, 24/7.

{Knock...Knock}

{Door opens}....uninvited, two young men in white shirts and ties and nametags (of 52,000 similar young men worldwide) greet the Christian homeowner...

"We have come to tell you about the news that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored after being taken from the earth because no one was worthy to follow Jesus' Apostles until Joseph Smith became a prophet....and to show you how you can spend eternity with your wife and family in the presence of God and Jesus Christ...if only you will join the mormon church and leave your Christian belief behind."

"Just read this book, pray about it and you will receive a message from the Holy Ghost that the only way to salvation is by being baptized and confirmed as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, after which if you obey the rules which govern what you drink, what you wear and how much tithing is required, you MAY be worthy to enter our temple and take part in arcane rituals that will bind God to recognize them and grant you exaltation".

"...oh...you may have to act as a janitor for our buildings in order to become "worthy", but I'm sure that won't be a problem.

THAT IS THREE MINUTES OF HATE!...MULTIPLIED 26,000 TIMES PER DAY.

I just don't get the ongoing bashing of Mormon's here.

Every day but Sunday, Mormons send out over 52,000 missionaries around the globe who claim all Christians are apostates. (They call it the "universal apostasy" and "restoration")

By comparison, what? There's a few dozen FREEPERS who challenge Mormonism's claims?

Seems you're imbalanced. Why don't you go after the 52,000 vs. the handful of FReepers?

All true-believing Mormons also tithe.

Tell us, LVR: Let's say, Ron a new church sprung up in your 'Vegas neighborhood.

Let's say they added "Revelation 23" to their Bible.

Let's say some unnamed entities appeared unto their leader, and he reported as part of "Revelation 23": My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were ALL WRONG; and the Personage who addressed me said that ALL their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were ALL corrupt; [Note to Ron: this in fact "Mormon scripture" -- Joseph Smith 1, vv. 18-19 in the Pearl of Great Price]

Furthermore, the leader of this "newbie church" claimed he was "lay[ing] the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" [Note to Ron: This is in fact "Mormon scripture" -- Doctrine & Covenants 1:30]

Furthermore, the leader of this "newbie church" claimed that this "Only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" was the "church of the Lamb of God" -- and he translated an ancient document which said: "Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth." [Note to Ron: This is in face "Mormon scripture" - 1 Nephi 14:10 from the Book of Mormon]

Now let's say that this church grew to 14 million around the world -- and that about 5-6 of million of them tithed to spread the above message into over 100 different languages.

Fact: Mormon "scriptures" bash Christians 24/7 as the "church of the devil" ... a false and dead church...full of "corrupt" professing apostate believers who embrace 100% putrid creeds...
...and they do this in all kinds of languages every hour of every day.

Yet not a complaint from you, Ron. Why not? You don't mind if the Christian church is slandered in such a way?

The anti-mormons seem to have personal reasons for their obsession, kind of like ex-smokers or ex-drinkers..fortunately, they are a tiny fringe element and not representative of conservatives as a whole...magritte

...but I don't bash it 24/7

Psst...

Guess what WE say about Christianity!

And WE say it for a whole YEAR or more!

But...

There's only 51,998 just like us out there, pounding on doors.

It's not like we have as vast a sales force as MaryKay® or anything...
