Are you suggesting that Colofornian started this thread? And didn't stick around to defend it?
I believe that they have it stored. I only say that because they post the same crap over and over again.
If you notice Elsie, he/she posts the exact things on everyone of these types of threads.
Only difference this time is that kooky colorfornia (whatever it’s name is) he/she posted in news/activism.
They have much more “standing” in the religion forum.
Thank you for your very kind, understanding post.
“Spam Dogs”...lol, I like it!
In yet another public relations embarrassment for the Mormon Church, a Utah researcher has discovered that slain Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl was posthumously baptized last year in a serious breach of church protocol.
According to records, Pearl, who is Jewish, was baptized "by proxy" last summer in a Twin Falls, Idaho, temple -- much to the surprise of his parents, who learned of the event this week.
Reached by phone, Pearl's mother, Ruth, said she and her husband were dismayed when informed of the ceremony by a reporter from the Boston Globe, which first reported the news.
"We realize that the Mormon ministers who baptized our son posthumously meant to offer him salvation in the most honorable way they know how," she said in statement. "To them we say: We appreciate your good intentions but rest assured that Danny's soul was redeemed through the life that he lived and the values that he upheld. He lived as a proud Jew, died as a proud Jew and is currently facing his creator as a Jew -- blessed, accepted and redeemed."
Pearl, who was raised in Los Angeles, was working as a Wall Street Journal reporter when he was kidnapped and killed by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002.
In a video that his captors forced him to record shortly before his execution, he professed his faith, saying: "My father's Jewish. My mother's Jewish. I'm Jewish."
His parents later released a book titled "I Am Jewish," which contains a collection of essays by Pearl.
Posthumous baptisms are common in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, generally referred to as the Mormon Church. The purpose of the sacrament is to ensure that ancestors can join church members in the afterlife.
The purpose of baptizing non members into the mormon church after death is just to show the world that it can be done, neener neener! ;0)
And yet this is your alternative to the election:
Defend the content of the article posted or defend their character?
I've not seen the article debated, discussed or contested. What I have seen is the attempted character assassination of FReepers which certain elements on this thread appear to be taking a great deal of joy in partaking of.
You are absolutely correct and I am completely wrong. I apologize.
Before I opened my mouth I should have LOOKED before I spoke...but I did not. Sorry.
I think he/she stuck in my head because of the many posts/threads she has posted in, or have started in the HATE MORMONS threads.
I apologize to both of you for stating he/she started this thread.....but nothing else.
So what?
That is not your business.
Proud of that, are you?
Really? That's the best apologetic you can muster?
Strike a nerve did I?
Let's see....whom would allow such a thing, to occur, ON PURPOSE....a mooslimb or a Mormon? (remember the "fly over" NY that created a panic?)
If I recall, your man barry allowed a terrorist to go free.
Screw the American people, right? As long as NO Mormon is allowed to be President.
moochelle, is that you??!
Your obumbum is still going down no matter how furiously you flap your wings. We’ll make sure of that.
Another one with their liberalism showing with their "DO AS I SAY AND NOT WHAT I DO". Remember these words..."They are so blinded by their Mormon hate sight, that is all they see." You have NO problem saying what *you think* others hate.
So I WILL tell you what you hate!! TRUTH!
Like I have stated before, unless some miracle happens between now and the convention
Well at least you know there is NO nominee yet but that doesn't STOP you from going around with your slurs to other freepers - when they expose what mitt is all about. What's your damn RUSH all about? Others are doing the venting for you and you DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT!! Like the 'rats in '08. They didn't care - just give them their *messiah*.
Remember, back in the day when “some” were against having a Catholic as President?
And you consider this the same??? You are totally oblivious - I wouldn't be surprised if you had some one tell you when to breath and why.
Newsflash romney is godless! You can leave GOD OUT in all the decisions *you* want - but WE WILL NOT!!
Try again.
You can proclaim God all you want...however, your actions speak louder than your words.
Not with me. If I had nerves, I wouldn't be spending time here educating the masses about a false prophet and false religion and an attempt to turn the US into a theocracy.
All of your vitriol just shows who YOU are.
Don’t let this tiny crazy group discourage you. Most of us are level headed, despite the “arguments” we get in to which rep is more conservative (which is now a blessing).
I’d advise you to stay away from the Religion Forum. That is usually where they post this nonsense.
This time, they posted it in the news forum. Hence, all heck broke loose!
