A Jewish Seder becomes all about mormonism. Question: Is an attendance fee charged at a real Jewish Seder?

Are gentiles really supposed to be attending Passover Seders?

Exodus 12:43-51.

Of course, as a gentile, I would not attend a Seder simply because I do not meet the requirements, but also for the fact that any Jew who breaks these rules is subject to being cut off from the Israelite community. I cannot do that to a Jewish person, no matter how hospitable they want to be towards me.

I wouldn’t think so. Judaism isn’t a RACKET founded by a convicted swindler and serial pedophile like Mormonism is.

This article turns my stomach. mormonISM is truly a sickness. These lds have no compunction about blaspheming God.

This statement is disgusting: For BYU junior Ken Kenworthy, 22, the bitter herbs on the Passover table recall not only the suffering of the Israelites under Pharaoh, but also the past suffering of the Mormons.

This brings up a very humorous point. In mormonism, ALL non-mormons are considered "gentiles"...including Jews!

Well, as noted in the article these are all sold-out affairs. I guess anyone who has the price of admittance may attend these. Frankly, if it's supposed to be "outreach" why would it cost money?

Another ‘Oh Look At Me’ moment. We are all sooooo objective and perfect. Look how nice we are to the poor Jews. Maybe we can all become Israelites as we seek the votes for Romney. We were great in 78 when we included those poor black folks. And now we’re no longer racists or antisemitic. Ain’t perfection great? And we’re also Christians. Did I forget to mention that?

What about the suffering of the innocent people at Mountain Meadows who Brigham Young ordered whacked like he was some Mafia Don or something?

I have to admit that I haven't finished reading Exodus yet, but I have a cursory grasp of the story... of course God didn't charge the Israelites money for their deliverance from Pharaoh.

Your post reminds me of another passage of Scripture, where John the Baptist calls out the posers who are getting baptized because it was "the cool thing to do," Luke 3:7-9

It was all very traditional, even if the Manischewitz was nowhere to be found, since Mormons strictly eschew alcohol; the carafes were filled with grape juice.

Odd isnt it that when the mormons are mimicing the Christian Communion, they eschew grape juice which represents the Blood that the LORD Jesus Christ shed for us on the Cross and use water...

the carafes are filled with water

Ive been to real Jewish Seders

There was no attendance fee

Thats strictly a mormon money making practice

The LORD Jesus Christ whipped conmen of this type out of the Temple

They were selling the Seder also...

“I found that my students had a hard time connecting to the Old Testament time period and events,” Ludlow said. “I decided to do it just so they could have a cultural experience, so they could socialize a little bit and identify with that important event of the Bible.”
_______________________________________________

If that “cultural experience” had been a spiritual conversion out of mormonism and into Christianity, there would no longer have been any difficulty or “hard time” in connecting...

The Holy Spirit of God would have taken over and taught the students what they needed to know...

Ya cant “socialize” your way into salvation or a knowledge of God...

Heaven is not a college party event..

He said, however, that attitudes of Mormons toward Israel tend to be more complicated than those of many Evangelical Christians, who are often unflaggingly supportive of Israel.

“complicated” as in anti-Semetic

“I think it shows that we’re not just Mormons doing our own thing,” she said.

Dang!

If thge MORMONs keep THIS up; they might serve it with their COMMUNION - the watered down version of the Passover meal; Christian style.
