What’s especially amusing is that this guy doesn’t know what religion I belong to. I live in Texas and deal with Baptists, Catholics, Mormons, Lutherans, Methodists, and people from many other sects on a daily basis. We all get along fine.

I bet he (and you) can’t guess my religion, though. In Texas, it really doesn’t matter.

We have enough people with common sense who know the difference between “favoring a religion” and “borrowing buses”. We’ll be just fine, thanks.

“Do you think all these 14 year old girls living with 50 year old men who are not their fathers are not being “molested”? And do you not realize that all these girls have been brainwashed since birth to accept the fact that they exist for no other purpose than to provide sexual pleasure to their polygamist husbands and to provide them with children to trade with their neighbors for plural wives for their husbands and brothers?”

Correct, I agree completely. All the more reason why when they bust them they should not give them ANY extra ammunition to defend themselves in court with.

It still doesn't answer the question though.

Okay, let's see. I don't believe paying lip service to Jesus Christ buys any kind of salvation. You have to shun evils as sins (those enumerated in the Ten Commandments) and live a good life. Those are the essentials of faith. Faith leading to salvation is believing in the Lord.

I'm being very specific of what the definition of 'faith' is. I hope you appreciate the distinction and it runs counter to your so called definition of a cult.

And you think it’s totally appropriate that the “idiot public” be kept in the dark and fed manure until after all the smoke clears and the lead stops flying? Stalin and Hitler loved that kind of mentality in case you’re not old enougn to remember those two men.

“EXACTLY. You have posted PROOF that many protestant denominations do not have any fondness for Mormons”


I don’t think that a child molesting trial will involve Vatican representatives testifying that Mormonism is not Christian.

While Catholics and Greek Orthodox do not accept Mormonism as Christian, that will hardly come up at trial.

Um, when it involves minors, yes. Especially since they CAN’T release the information by LAW here.

Don’t like it? Either change the law, if you live here, or don’t live here.

And it only takes ONE juror to disagree.

Ever heard of OJ Simpson?

Yes, Warren Jeffs is a wack-job pervert, as was his father before him, but he's not a Baptist. Do you think that there might be something in the teachings or in the tradition (or in both) of Mormonism that lends some support to such an abusive way of life?p>You're probably onto something. Afterall there could be something in the New Testament that lends support to Anti-semetism.

Especially when the Baptists present the state the bill for cleaning out the buses afterwards. :D

So, proclaiming faith in Christ is "lip service?"

Says who? You?

Paul disagrees with you.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:9

By the way, what exactly is a "Second Advent Christian?" I found a link to that on your homepage.

Oh, and the fuel bill. I’m *very* sure the Baptist church is going to be passing *that* on to the state. :D

I never implied such a thing WOULD happen. What WILL happen is that the defense counsel will present to the jury, none of whom will be baptists, photos of Baptist Church buses, and probably the fact that SOME members of law enforcement are baptists, as evidence that local authorities are in cahoots with baptists against religious rivals such as mormons.

The informant told LE that there were kids as young as 3 months old being abused there.

Well, I have waded through about 10 different articles produced by Google News and I can't find that. Gotta link?

No problem buddy. You are always such a gentleman on FR. Sorry if my own response was a bit short.

Thanks again.

What ammnunition are we giving them? The warrant was valid since it was based upon the testimony of a reliable eyewitness. What more would the authorities need? All they need is probable cause that a crime has been committed and that evidence of that crime can be found in the location. Where would you think that would be lacking in this case?
