There seems to be a significantly reduced number of Protestant Threads (KJV Only being the exception for sure) in the FR Religion Forum. Reduced in number as a large percent HAVE left for greener pastures due to censorship issues. You see, we can discuss Calvin, Wesley, Servetus, Augustine, Popes, Luther and thier shortcomings both personally and theologically.....but the minute Protestants mention Joseph Smith the topic is squashed and we are told to "knock it off".
We can discuss Catholic doctrine and Protestant doctrine - but Mormon doctrine is off limits.
Protestants get thier knuckles rapped - but certain posters can swear and post anti semitic comments and hateful rhetoric regarding Protestantism.
I suspect they have all gotten sick of the disproportionate censorship and departed.

This is no surprise, and thier departure is clearly reflected in the traffic stats for the site - no doubt this will translate to a dollar figure
Doesnt matter though - the republicans or certain sects will fill the coffers of thier shortfall

I agree this must be the reason that less Christian feel welcome on freerepublic.It is the reason I post less, and less.
I have read many posts where a certain Mormon, (Illbay) says very ugly remarks about protestants, and jews, but gets to continue.
Some of the Mormons are constantly trying to win converts to their religion, and if someone like myself tries to bring some light on the doctrines that are more hidden, and controversial,they are told to knock it off, and quit picking on the poor Mormons.
Even discussing the Elizabeth Smart case was off limits because it involved hidden Mormon doctrine.
Freerepublic is getting much like the left, where Christians, and Jews are the only people you are able bash.
I feel bad about this because in many other areas I agree with many of these folks, but I find the censorship of my faith so offensive that I find myself staying away for that reason.

If you don't heed the prophet's words, you will not obey God, my friend. And you will suffer for it if it is willful.
Also, you ignore the fact that, despite all the hellish efforts of god-forsaken, Satan-spawned heathens like yourself, murdering, raping and trying your best to destroy it, the latter-day work of TRUTH has only gotten stronger, and that the ultimate prophecy of Joseph Smith--that the Lord is God, that Jesus is the Christ, that the Book of Mormon is true, and that the Church will never be destroyed from off the face of the earth despite the worst efforts of the hell-spawn such as continue to infest these threads--is coming to pass every single day.
Tremble, ye demons of the infernal pit. Rant, rail and spew your lying filth all your can, while you can. Soon you'll be locked away in the infernal pit, and the godly will be rid of you and your devilish deeds forever.
"Persecution has not stopped the progress of truth, but has only added fuel to the flame, it has spread with increasing rapidity. Our missionaries are going forth to different nations...The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done." The Prophet Joseph Smith
One of many from a Mormon to a Christian.This one was from the button pusher, Illbay.
