Thanks for your response. It seems I must have touched upon a very sensitive nerve.

And yes, those men claimed to have been directed by their god, though the power of the holy priesthood invested to them through Joseph Smith, who himself took wives from men he sent away to do “God’s will.”

I feel sorry for you my FRiend.

Chickening out, eh?

Kindly point out the Catholics, Baptists, etc, whose crimes you have blamed on their Church.

Show me ONE POST where you have done so, CC. Just one.

You're a bitter, blind and deeply dishonest person.

TChris. Those other churches don't claim that their male members hold the holy Melchizedek Priesthood. Which as your organization claims:

” Men in the Church must be worthy Melchizedek Priesthood holders in order to receive the temple endowment and be sealed to their families for eternity. They have the authority to administer to the sick and give special blessings to family members and others. With the authorization of presiding priesthood leaders, they can bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost and ordain other worthy men to offices in the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods.

When a man receives the Melchizedek Priesthood, he enters into the oath and covenant of the priesthood. He covenants to be faithful, magnify his calling, “give diligent heed to the words of eternal life,” and “live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.” Those who keep this covenant will be sanctified by the Spirit and receive “all that [the] Father hath.” (See D&C 84:33–44.) “

These men who attacked and killed the innocent were priesthood holders, and ecclesiastical leaders. So are you now claiming that the LDS are no different than the rest of Christianity. You've got nothing “special?” Yeppers, that's what I've been saying all along. Thanks for confirming it.

You're very good at attacking the messenger. You could be a disciple of Obama - you're THAT good at it. :)

Well...since I've never been Catholic or Baptist, I don't have any first hand knowledge like I do with the crimes of Mormonism that took place right in my very back yard, but if it makes you feel better, I read that some priests sodomized some young boys and there were some Baptists that hung black men from trees.

Do you feel better now knowing that Mormonism is nothing special?

I’ve been busy watching the World Series, but when I
checked in tonight, this struck me as making it personal,
which I believe is NOT allowed on FR?
