SURE there is!
But the LDS deceived mind can't grasp it.
Most people are: even Mormons!
Nice list, but you left out the non-Christian stuff.
You were not supposed to notice...
It’s called “re-direction”.
They can't defend what WAS 'attacked'!
Actually; it is.
We believe that all who live, have lived, and are yet to be born are spirit children ...
Indeed you do; and it is NOT biblical.
MLM I don’t think there scam some people it come naturally and others just don’t want to apply the effort.
Insurance and real estate is build on the same concept only with MLM when some one breaks off you get a monthly thank you, where as in insurance or real estate you train someone and they break away, they become you competition with no thanks. All your leading corporation are build on this concept only in MLM you are not left out for you help.
Not saying that some individual don’t do stupid things a good company will discourage someone from trying to buy ones way up, because it doesn’t work that way.
Like every thing in life we have to earn it, but when you do earn your way in MLM it is very rewarding.
Good Lord, I have trouble from getting day to day like the rest of us do you really think that knowledge is on all our minds.
If folks took the honest time they realize that is what will happen to all those who lived righteous lives who are the children of the Lord.
The Bible testifies to it.
One of the first steps is to Love One Another
John 13
31 ¶Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
I do; for I care about where their souls end up.
****
Really if that were true you would have and shown the Spirit of Love that Jesus Christ.
Only the spirit of the Lord aka Holy Ghost bears witness to the truthful things of the Lord, no amount of railing on another will do that, because the Spirit of the is unable to stay in a contentious soul.
John 13
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
some have no faith to do the will of the Lord they prefer to their own will...

I hear this all the time from you Scoutmaster as I feel something gently slip in my back....
If I am wrong I can only go by what I read down the line....
Golly!
Just like Mormonism!
How do members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints feel about calling the members of its various spin-off sects Latter-Day Saints, Christians, or Mormons? Or about those sects calling themselves Mormons or Latter-Day Saints? (There was an earlier campaign by LDS to have journalism style books use the word Mormon to refer only to LDS, and not RLDS, FLDS, or other LDS sects).
For a man who bragged about holding things together, Joseph Smith, Jr. doesnt appear go have done a good job of it during his lifetime. Wycam Clarks Pure Church of Christ spun off in 1831. This trend continued. There were six LDS sects spawned in the 1830s, eight in the 1840s, two in the 1850s, and seven in the 1860s.
Do those responsible for the Mormons are Christians campaign consider these denominations to be Mormons or Latter-Day Saints? Surely many of these denominations are much closer to mainstream LDS than LDS is to Christianity. Many stick to Smiths teachings and old temple endowment ceremonies.

Are members of those LDS groups Mormons? Latter Day Saints? Christians?
Do the folks in Salt Lake City have a problem with any of those groups, who believe in the restoration of the original church by Joseph Smith, calling themselves Mormons or Saints?
Most of these divisions in the Latter-Day Saint movement occurred over the issue of polygamy or succession of the Prophet. Sects broke off when Joseph Smith was still alive, and when Brigham Young was named prophet, because they didnt believe in the practice of plural marriage either publicly, or in some cases when it was practiced in private and denied in public.
Of course, there was the great split between Rocky Mountain Saints and Prairie Saints, when LDS members couldnt agree on a successor prophet to Smith, Jr., and the church went to Utah, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania under Brigham Young, Sidney Rigdon (senior member of the First Presidency), James Strang, Lyman Wight, Alpheus Cutler, William Smith, David Whitmer (a BOM witness), or Joseph Smith III (son of Joseph Smith, Jr.). Almost all of these individuals still has multiple sects in existence that date to an 1844 decision about who should be the next President/Prophet of the church.
The Prairie Saints split into sects over the issue of whether Smith practiced polygamy. Rocky Mountain Saints had many, many spinoff sects after the 1890 Manifesto groups that still practice plural marriage.

Thanks to ScoutMaster for all the hard work here!
Keep ignoring your HISTORY, restornu, as show the world just what a LOVING Mormon is!
So do I!!!
I also support MY freedom to expose what those beliefs are built upon.
It mattereth not; for you READ what your chosen religion teaches and ignore it; why should ANYTHING a Christian has to say bother you?
The ranch won't disclose financial information, (Why Not? Every other BUSINESS in the US has to!)
By cross-breeding cows for speedy growth, good reproduction and climate tolerance and by developing and perfecting grasses for central Florida, they have achieved some of the highest weights, and therefore some of the highest profits, in the industry.
... the ranch offers profit-sharing as well as professional-development programs.
...the church has achieved some of the highest profits in the industry because of its long-term commitment to the ranch ...
While the church is committed to stewardship of the land, it is just as committed to squeezing profits out of its private companies.
I guess things have changed since the 'church' was INCORPORATED :
Fifth: Upon the winding up and dissolution of this corporation, after paying or adequately providing for the debts and obligations of the corporation, the remaining assets shall be distributed to a nonprofit fund,
