I would ask you to look into your hardened heart...and find the Hope, and the Truth. He is waiting for you.

I understand there is a new anti-freeper site started by disgruntled former and present Mormon FReepers and it is their intention of bankrupting FR during the coming Freepathon by withholding their donations and disrupting our activities. Well, all I can say is, if they feel that badly against FR, by all means they should withhold their donations and drop out of FR. But it they attempt to disrupt our operations I will guarantee they will no longer be members of FR. If that is their wish, so be it.
I'm not going to try to defend FR from their claims of religious persecution, but I will say that Mormons have and always have had free reign to post their threads on FR just as all other religious groups have enjoyed. Free Republic defends the right to freedom of religion and has always welcomed religious discussion and always will. And Mormons have always been welcome here. I have absolutely nothing against Mormons.
If you are one who has left or is leaving, I wish you well, but disruption of FR is not welcome and will not be tolerated.
And this is not the first time such activity has been attempted by groups of disgruntled former FReepers. Good luck with that. There is always some group that feels FR should be bent to their way of thinking and end up saying my way or the highway. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not changing so I guess it's the highway. Is it Feb 8 yet?
God bless.
I utterly reject your assertion that it’s MY DUTY to determine if YOUR FOUNDERS were speaking as men or prophets.
+++++++
I do not remember telling you that in this post.
I am just telling you that you might want to know if what the “antis” say about us is true before you teach it to others.
And I often then ask if you care if what you teach is true.
“I’m a Methodist. Ya’ll feel free to criticize them all you want. I won’t mind a bit.”
And I am Catholic and go ahead and criticize them all you want.
53% of them voted for Obama and I am outraged by it.
So you finally admit that you did indeed threaten to sue posters here.
About time you quit your lying about it.
ROFLOL!!!
You guys are amazing to watch....
And we ALL know know what Rush says about Moderates ;^)
+++++++
I do not see how you cannot want to see how one of the posters here at FR misguides readers into believing something about this Church that is not true.
Why do you change the subject instead of insuring ya’ll are teaching the truth.
I'm confused and a bit curious. Joseph Smith taught that Jesus "IS" what?
You are so far off the mark, McGruff, that it's pathetic. I'm disappointed that I'm NOT on the list, as I've certainly been accused of being a "Mormon hater" often enough because of my aggressive fight to keep Romney away from GOP leadership -- and I have NEVER, to my knowledge, posted to a Mormon "religious thread" (I select "All Articles" and scroll for ones that look interesing, so I neither know nor care what forum they happen to be in).
And McGruff, part of the beauty of Free Republic is that it is a place where the Judeo-Christian ethic, which is resposible for creating slavery-free Western civilization, can be pumped and promoted freely and candidly -- bible thumping it may be sometimes, and I've done my share, but bible believing, God-fearing morality is PART AND PARCEL OF POLITICAL CONSERVATISM whether you're agnostic, an atheist, a Catholic, evangelical, or whatever! And you know what, pal? If you don't like the "bible thumping," don't whine about it -- either engage with a valid response or skip the post!
You would RUIN Free Republic given half the chance. Jim Robinson's brilliance is the same that the Founders of this great nation embraced: resisting the temptation to be control freaks over free peoples, free thoughts, free expression, and ideas.
McGruff, part of being free is refraining from the temptation to tell others what and what not to do!!!
And we ALL know what Rush says...
"Words mean things."
It doesn't HAVE to be posted to ME to solicit a response.
Start with the first 8 verses of the Gospel of John and you can see what an error that is...
What part of “In the BEGINNING...” is unclear? Your cult teaches things about my savior that are flat out wrong.
You have explained at other times what you believe, and you have the right to believe it.
Merely "answering questions that MIGHT have been asked me".
Yes, that might be nice -- just as good and maybe better would be to name the author at the TOP of the post, so one doesn't have to scroll or glance down to the bottom of the post to see who wrote it before deciding to either skip or read the post.
Yes, but what does Zicam have to do with this?
I think all religious posts should be disallowed
That statement would be funny if it weren’t so fascist.
How come you're not on there?
Slacker.
LOL...
Fred my question was a simple follow up to clarify where we are wrong.
=++++++++++++++
Again, you are misdirecting the reader into thinking I did not answer you directly.
=+++++++
You keep posting that.
Are you doing some math in another window?
