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.
You must have had some help from the missionaries.
They are very good at "converting" some Christians.
Hopefully you will come back into the fold, but I'm not sure if you ever were a Christian from your post.
I did notice that you were a member of several churches.
JimRob posted a "diatribe"...wow!!
What? Do you rule extended families with such an iron hand that...
(a) you rule apriori on what is relevant to the convo and what isn't?
And (b) Do you truly mean that your extended family members need to be solicited before they give an opinion? Wow!
Not-so-open of a forum here, eh? (Which may reveal you have not-so-open of a family there, either)
When I read posts from you,SENTINEL and other former mormons, I see a brain drain from mormonism, which tells me that really intellegent people, people who can actually think for themselves, are leaving them. The ones who are left we see here on F.R. and the quality of their replies is going down, down, down.
It would seem sad the your “current experience” isn’t based in reality. I know non LDS lawyers that would have a field day w/ your judge. The way the order describes things, is inconsistent w/ the reality of our doctrine on certain very key points. You would know that if you were who you claim to be.
You are now talking about sacred things of which I will speak no further. The sandbox is now yours & the others.
Clear as mud, Reno....clear as mud.
I have studied enough of the writings of LDS that it is not that hard to see the proof.
The readers agree with Christianity by a great margin over the LDS beliefs.
You are the one that seems to have a hard time believing the writings of the LDS prophets.
Believing them and comparing them with the Bible can lead to eternal life.
It's happened on this thread!
odd that sevenbak has not been banned
You get on mormon hit-lists when you point out these Smithian blasphemies, PM. But you and I both know, we don't count that a negative to be on the hit-list of a group of blaspheming cultists. Sadly, too many Mormons don't realize the extent of blasphemies spewed by Joe Smith and his successors.
Enough said.
Run away, fine with me.
The bailout maneuver...
Seems you hit right down the middle of the fairway Sentinel...
Oh, I am injecting again Reno, can't help it, open forum and all...
LDS/FLDS Pearl of Great Price, Abraham 4:
1 AND then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the aGods, borganized and formed the cheavens and the earth.
3 And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light; and there was light.
6 And the Gods also said: Let there be an aexpanse in the midst of the waters, and it shall divide the waters from the waters.
18 And the Gods watched those things which they had aordered until they obeyed.
Isaiah 44:6 I am the first and I am the last; beside me there is no god.”
Isaiah 44:8: You are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.
Isaiah 45:5. I am the Lord, and there is no other, beside me there is no other God; I gird you that men may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none beside me; I am the Lord, and there is no other.

Are you going to show folks that you know and understand how we see that there is no conflict here?
You do understand out teachings in this area, don't you?
You would not want to imply we teach something that we do not teach, would you?
***.... Nonetheless, as Joseph Smith so pointedly taught, a prophet is not always a prophet, only when he is acting as such. Prophets are men and they make mistakes.****
I am reminded of an artist back in the 1960s or early ‘70s. When congfronted about his junk not being true art he declared...”Ever thing I spit is art!”

you called.
You might clean the footnote leters out befor you post our scriptures. Makes it easet to read and it does not look like this. “”aGods, borganized” (a)Gods, (b)organized
