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.
First, for the record, I waved goodbye to organized religion a while ago.
... as an ex-Christian,...
If you don’t like seeing the RF threads, there is any easy solution. Do not click “everything” on the sidebar.
Dose the Lord?
What, are you his pharmacist?
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs
-- All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs--
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat--
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like _that_--
And all third persons who on spoiling tete-a-tetes insist-
- They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!
CHORUS. He's got 'em on the list--he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of 'em be missed.
Resty - I cannot help you there. He is a self proclaimed mormon apologist and admitted disgruntled former Freeper. He rejoined for the stated purpose of stirring things up.
Thank you for the how-to.
While I’m not religious I am spiritual.
The Architect of the Universe tells me he/she is OK with this kind of thing.
That’s all I’m gonna say about that.
Unless someone is offended and attempts to dis me.
Then it’s ON, baby!
:)
Really, I don’t think I’ve ever posted anything that was anti-Mormon. Anti-FLDS yes, but not Mormon. So, I’m really puzzled why I’m there. I think it’s guilt by association.
I'm on the list and I have no idea why. I generally don't read the Mormon threads, although I have in the last couple weeks just out of curiosity. I don't recall EVER saying anything that could be construed as hateful -- in fact, I almost always preface my posts with "I must respectfully disagree" if I don't agree with a poster on the Religion forum. I for one would like my name removed from that list immediately.
“I’m a Methodist. Ya’ll feel free to criticize them all you want. I won’t mind a bit. Let me guess, you eat a lot of chicken and your wife makes casseroles. ;-)”
Y’all are funny... and I bet you’re methodical too...
This man needs prayers that he remembers who he is “a child of God” and this behavior is unbecomming!
How Gentle are God’s Commands
How kind his precepts are
come hasten your burden upon the Lord
and trust His Constance care,
I'll vouch for you, AAA!
Oops that wasn’t the original.
His stated purpose was to stir things up and he apparently didn't care to get his facts correct. A McCarthyist methodology in an effort to intimidate Freepers into silence.
Clown Posse used to be a website.
All I can find through google is something about Insane Clown Posse, which I don’t think is the same thing.
lol
I certainly hope he reads you post and doesn’t put you on another list for non-supportive mormons.
Restornu - you need to ping your list...
More than I got... :(
Pinging Jim to 418 for you.
