Attention "Anyone But Obama" (ABO) FReepers! If you go to the thread at the link you will will see that JimRob has "declared a truce" and hundreds of ABO FReepers are now vigorously defending their belief, which I share, that the ineligible Marxist Manchurian MUST BE DEFEATED to preserve the Republic...without fear of "the ZOT"! Please consider a DONATION not just to fund renewal of expression and amplification of your ABO views, but let's over-achieve this FReepathon to get JR his new equipment!
IMO, Free Republic and FReepers could be vital in swing states in rallying just enough conservatives to tip the election and prevent our troops from having to salute for even one day longer than necessary an ineligible Marxist committed to destroying the USA !
Then you must have one of those newfangled liberal ‘bibles’ written around 200-300 CE.
You need to get back to proper traditional religion, given by G-d to Moses.
Do you want some cheese with that whine?
ABO... exactly! 100%... It is the ONLY possible solution. But too bad Jim and FR still don’t seem to “get it.” And now you’re pleading for us old-time FRs to “come back?” Good luck!
When I tried to reason with Jim recently that the problem was not Romney, but Obama... he suggested I may want to go elsewhere. To another who did not like Romney but also suggested the only way to save the country was to vote “against” Obama by voting for Romney, Jim’s reply was (and I quote) “FU!”
I’m sorry, but it took donations drying up before Jim decided he had to back-track a little. As far as I’m concerned, it’s too little, too late. FR is irrelevant now and will cease to exist in its present form very shortly.
Jim... please take off the blinders... the problem is not Romney - it’s Obama!
If I’m zotted... you will only make my point.
LOL! And for good reason.
Have you seen Elsie’s cr@ptastic posts?

This is liberal logic. Any disagreement or non-acceptance is called “hate” in the hopes it shuts the other side up.
It is pathetic people professing to be conservatives evenr adopt such a tactic they themselves criticize the left using.
I'm sure you'll find it there; as MANY question's answers are there!
If that makes me a bigot sign me up...
Count me in.....
Especially if that includes holding to the integrity of Scripture.
Never would’ve even found the place had you not been ZOTTING conservatives for not *OBEYING* your random diktats, Jim.
And you finally realized that with your “truce”.
I wish you had realized it a few months earlier.
You’ve done them a mighty service, you know.
You mean Anno Domino?
That would be "Year of Our Lord"
You know, the way our Constitution is signed....
Thanks for this thread.
I have just quickly read the first 600 posts on your thread.
With all due apologizes to the posters that I may have misread, I find that this partial quote by “gutsy” sums up the major problem that your thread has exposed at FR:
” - - - The two strands of Conservatism are talking past each other in our latest argument. We come from the two different places. One strand is one that places its priorities on the fiscal and foreign policy issues. - - - “
” - - - The other strand is the Social Conservatives. - - - “
We are divided.
What is the common ground between these two groups of Conservatives?
What is each Group trying to CONSERVE?
IMHO, I think that this thread should continue as THE thread for the social Conservatives, as only posts # 101 and 151 brought up the topic of THE MAIN PROBLEM.
Please start a new thread for the fiscal Conservatives.
Perhaps in this manner common ground can be discovered.
BTW, just what is THE MAIN PROBLEM?
Speaking of hats...
"Now the way he translated was he put the urim and thummim into his hat and Darkned his Eyes than he would take a sentance and it would apper in Brite Roman Letters. Then he would tell the writer and he would write it. Then that would go away the next sentance would Come and so on. But if it was not Spelt rite it would not go away till it was rite, so we see it was marvelous. Thus was the hol [whole] translated."---Joseph Knight's journal.
"In writing for your father I frequently wrote day after day, often sitting at the table close by him, he sitting with his face buried in his hat, with the stone in it, and dictating hour after hour with nothing between us."
(History of the RLDS Church, 8 vols.(Independence, Missouri: Herald House,1951),"Last Testimony of Sister Emma [Smith Bidamon]," 3:356.
"I, as well as all of my father's family, Smith's wife, Oliver Cowdery and Martin Harris, were present during the translation. . . . He [Joseph Smith] did not use the plates in translation."
---(David Whitmer,as published in the "Kansas City Journal," June 5, 1881,and reprinted in the RLDS "Journal of History", vol. 8, (1910), pp. 299-300.
In an 1885 interview, Zenas H. Gurley, then the editor of the RLDS Saints Herald, asked Whitmer if Joseph had used his "Peep stone" to do the translation. Whitmer replied:
"... he used a stone called a "Seers stone," the "Interpreters" having been taken away from him because of transgression. The "Interpreters" were taken from Joseph after he allowed Martin Harris to carry away the 116 pages of Ms [manuscript] of the Book of Mormon as a punishment, but he was allowed to go on and translate by use of a "Seers stone" which he had, and which he placed in a hat into which he buried his face, stating to me and others that the original character appeared upon parchment and under it the translation in English."
"Martin Harris related an incident that occurred during the time that he wrote that portion of the translation of the Book of Mormon which he was favored to write direct from the mouth of the Prophet Joseph Smith. He said that the Prophet possessed a seer stone, by which he was enabled to translate as well as from the Urim and Thummim, and for convenience he then used the seer stone, Martin explained the translation as follows: By aid of the seer stone, sentences would appear and were read by the Prophet and written by Martin and when finished he would say 'Written,' and if correctly written that sentence would disappear and another appear in its place, but if not written correctly it remained until corrected, so that the translation was just as it was engraven on the plates, precisely in the language then used."
(Edward Stevenson, "One of the Three Witnesses,"reprinted from Deseret News, 30 Nov. 1881in Millennial Star, 44 (6 Feb. 1882): 86-87.)
In 1879, Michael Morse, Emma Smith's brother-in-law, stated:"When Joseph was translating the Book of Mormon [I] had occasion more than once to go into his immediate presence, and saw him engaged at his work of translation. The mode of procedure consisted in Joseph's placing the Seer Stone in the crown of a hat, then putting his face into the hat, so as to entirely cover his face, resting his elbows upon his knees, and then dictating word after word, while the scribes Emma, John Whitmer, O. Cowdery, or some other wrote it down."
(W.W. Blair interview with Michael Morse,Saints Herald, vol. 26, no. 12June 15, 1879, pp. 190-91.)
Joseph Smith's brother William also testified to the "face in the hat" version:"The manner in which this was done was by looking into the Urim and Thummim, which was placed in a hat to exclude the light, (the plates lying near by covered up), and reading off the translation, which appeared in the stone by the power of God"("A New Witness for Christ in America,"Francis W. Kirkham, 2:417.)
"The manner in which he pretended to read and interpret was the same manner as when he looked for the money-diggers, with the stone in his hat, while the book of plates were at the same time hid in the woods."---Isaac Hale (Emma Smith's father's) affidavit, 1834.
And If Obama wins they will be back even sooner...
LEAVE . . . MITTNEY . . . ALONE ! ! !
Nitey Nite!!~A.~
Speaking of touching Spirits...
Doctrine and Covenants Section 129
13, There are both resurrected and spirit bodies in heaven; 49, Keys are given whereby messengers from beyond the veil may be identified.
1 There are two kinds of beings in heaven, namely: Angels, who are resurrected personages, having bodies of flesh and bones;
2 For instance, Jesus said: Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
3 Secondly: the spirits of just men made perfect, they who are not resurrected, but inherit the same glory.
4 When a messenger comes saying he has a message from God, offer him your hand and request him to shake hands with you.
5 If he be an angel he will do so, and you will feel his hand.
6 If he be the spirit of a just man made perfect he will come in his glory; for that is the only way he can appear;
7 Ask him to shake hands with you, but he will not move, because it is contrary to the order of heaven for a just man to deceive; but he will still deliver his message.
8 If it be the devil as an angel of light, when you ask him to shake hands he will offer you his hand, and you will not feel anything; you may therefore detect him.
9 These are three grand keys whereby you may know whether any administration is from God.
Joseph Smith
No; Joseph did NOT use this method when confronting the two 'personages'.
AD? You mean you pray to a dead man?
Yikes!
(Channeling Elsie is fun!)
Paranoid much?
If you are afraid of being “killed” just stop egging folks on with your crap.
It’s as easy as just not typing...
Well that explains Obama...
