New Mormon anti-freeper site and campaign to bankrupt FR
rumor mill | March 29, 2009 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 03/29/2009 2:35:03 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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.

Thanks for reaffirming that we do not teach that God is a man, like some here at FR say we do.

Then it would be very simple for you to ping me to that post because all I've seen from you on whether or not you condone SPAM’s insulting threat against FR and JR is absolutely nothing.

Some of YOU deserve what he says about you.

"Merely "answering questions that MIGHT have been asked me".

BUT they weren't. That is still fact and still weird.

Fredrest....please tell me what is out of context here.

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, p. 266). Also, "The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 11, page 269).

And let's be clear...B. Young was a very important founder/prophet of LDS, correct?

And he also said this below, right? And everyone believed him too...because he IS a mormon prophet, right?

"I say now, when they [his discourses] are copied and approved by me they are as good Scripture as is couched in this Bible . . . " (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 264; see also page 95.)

So...give me your accounting here.

The whole religion forum is awash in sulphuric acid. It's a scandal.

So, don't visit the Religion Forum.

Knock it off with the cult brainwashing techniques, roy !!

We're not going to join your church and be indoctrinated for a year or two before we get your "meat" version of the topic at hand.

You're not fooling anybody. You believe because you've gone through it all to get to that point.

DON'T FORGET, SO HAVE WE !! THEN WE LEFT THE CULT.

....On a side note, are you a lawyer ? Politician ? Salesman ?

Just curious.

I was out of connection for a day and look at what I missed.

I feel honored to be on the list. However, I do object to the title "Anti-Mormon." I have absolutely no animosity against any member of the LDS Church (even those who get their undies in bunch over any perceived slight) but I am totally opposed to the doctrine and practices of the LDS Church. That is a big difference. I suspect that the other honored members of the list feel the same way.

“Holier than thou” is a built-in factor in all religion.

And atheists, environmentalists, and liberals too.

come on Fred, why can't you come right out and say it. Do you condone (agree with ) greg west's little jihad against FR and JR? A simple yes or no will suffice.

It's basically Islam with a "born again" mantra.

Yeah...I see planes flying into Mormon Temples on T.V. And anti-mormon's running into crowded St. George malls....blowing themselves up. And kidnapping's of mormons..then vid's of their beheadings.

Uh huh.....just the same.

Are you nuts!??

You never answer questions, you are like the Mormon version of Baghdad Bob.

You did a good job of trying to get the reader to think you are right and I am wrong. Makes it ease for the reader to accept what you teach, even when ya'll misrepresent the truth.

Things you teach like that name calling you just did.

greyfoxx and I and several other posters here are ex-mormon. We are only trying to warn people about the parts of Mormonism that Mormons keep silent about. This practice is called meat before milk. Mormons believe that you aren’t properly prepared to accept the “deeper” doctrine. I believe this is a form of lying to the unsuspecting. I think that anyone who is investigating Mormonism should recieve the whole truth - all the facts - so that then the investigator will be able to make a truly informed decision. For that, we are labeled “anti-Mormon.”

I'm not so much concerned with speaking the "truth" as to the manner in which it's done. The adherents of every faith believe that theirs possesses the "truth". The essential points which need to be made in most any argument can be made in a handful of posts at most. At that point, your protagonist has either accepted what you've put forward or he's rejected it. Beyond that point it becomes an exercise in repetition and mere points scoring.

Sometimes, all you can do is plant the seed. Once you've launched "the crusade" it becomes an obsession and that shows very clearly to lurkers. Knowing when to back off is one of the requirements of religious debate. Care needs to be exercised when pointing out "the truth". Otherwise, jihad is the result. A holy war. That's what the religion forum resembles on many occasions.

All in the name of "truth".

Do you see the changes that are mentioned that makes God more the a man?

More then you and I.

More "the" a man?

Oh well, I don't understand that LDS speak, but here's my answer.

Exalted, therefore "more than a man."

But still a man.

An exalted man.

Same as the difference between an accountant and a wrestler.

Both men, one "more" of a man.

What does "the Gospel" refer to in those writings?

The Bible or the Book of Mormon or something different from both of those?

Now this I believe: "Immortality is to live forever as a resurrected being."

That clearly means that a man is "resurrected" to eternal life, not changing from a man into a god.

It's good to see some truth from the LDS writings.
