So the whole state of Florida would only cost $25 billion? Is my math right?
I think they mean land area, not valuation.
Would you object if I said I was Jewish?
I am not Jewish, but I ask that because some peoples’ understanding of their faith would have a mandate for those who deny the central tenet of Christianity.
Muslims would probably object to Mormonism as well but I don’t think that you would advocate their remedy for their differences with that religion.
You or I may disagree with someone’s faith, but it is not for us to judge them. There is only one authority for that and it is not us. I see most Mormons as conducting themselves in a positive way, even if I think their theology is wrong in my eyes.
Ditto! Some Freepers have a pathological obsession with Mormons. Many of them never even post on political threads.
Hey, L.C., I heard you get paid to post your stuff, right guy?
By the post, by the shift, by the hour?
Just an oft repeated rumor, on the interwebs, when the well known subject of FR’s anti-Mormon crew comes up.
You mean we can't find any Muslims as well who are...
...hard working...?
...patriotic to either U.S. if they are citizens -- or, if we're talking about the Middle East -- patriotic to their given country...?
...family oriented...especially to their sons, parents, etc.?
And here I thought for a moment you were going to offer up something distinctive for us...
You: Many Mormons serve faithfully in the armed forces where I cannot say the same for Wahhabis.
Once again, you've yet managed to add another "distinction" where there is none! (Congrats!)
"Beginning in the last years of the 18th century Ibn Saud and his heirs would spend the next 140 years mounting various military campaigns to seize control of Arabia and its outlying regions."
Source: Wahhabi movement
It seems for a while that's all the Wahhabis did was to show their military prowess!
Care to try again?
Oh...and lest you think Mormons are all cut from the same "military" cloth...how about it if we wrest that illusion from you:
War and Peace in Our Time: Mormon Perspectives [Lds Pacifists alive and well]
Also, take a gander at J. Reuben Clark's pacifist views. Clark was Lds counselor to Mormon "prophets" Heber Grant & David McKay. (He was one of the top three Mormon hierarchists from 1933 to 1961)...
So...here the Mormons boasted as one of their top three leaders a pacifist during the Nazi years, during the Japanese years, during the North Korean years...
touche
the mormon jesus or the real Jesus?
I lived in Bay County, on the north side of West Bay, for 12 years. We had great water but some neighbors did not.
Our property is surrounded by St. Joe land. I wonder if this St. Joe land was sold to the LDS church?
...The Mormon church has made sure that over these past 61 years its missionaries emphasize a so-called "UNIVERSAL" (complete) apostasy by the Christian church shortly after the apostles died.
Since 1952, the Lds church has sent out about a million missionaries...[Lds has boasted of over a million in its entire history; the largest swath have come in the last 60 years]. They work 70-hour weeks. That's a LOT of "apostasy" mongering...especially given the 80,000 Lds missionaries out & about daily.
And that doesn't include their 24/7 online accusations...
...their books published in who knows how many languages...
...their curricula...
...their published articles...
...their broadcasts...
Here's documentation:
Snapshot of Joseph Smiths Slanderous Invectives vs. Christian Sects |
Mormon Source[Note: Most of these are Mormon scriptures'. In fact, First three rows below are Lds 'scripture' & therefore cannot be rug-swept any more than a Jew might try to take three commandments off of the very tablets of stone Moses brought down from the mountain] |
...which of all the sects was right must join NONE of them, for they were ALL WRONG those professors were ALL CORRUPT | Joseph Smith History vv. 18-19. Lds "scripture" Pearl of Great Price |
...which of all the sects was right ALL their CREEDS were an ABOMINATION in his sight they teach for doctrines the commandments of MEN | Joseph Smith History vv. 18-19. Lds "scripture" Pearl of Great Price |
Mormon church the only Christ-sanctioned church on earth: the foundation of this [Mormon] church the ONLY true and living church on the face of the whole earth [Obvious scorched earth implication: All other churches are false and dead] | Lds scripture Doctrines & Covenants 1:30 |
Direct question asked of Joseph Smith: 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons?" Answer from Lds "prophet" Joseph Smith: 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." | Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119 [Not scripture but still publicly spoken by the Mormon living prophet and published by a later Mormon living prophet, Joseph Fielding Smith via a publisher owned by the Mormon church Deseret News Press, 1938] |
In 1952 the first official proselyting plan was sent to missionaries throughout the world It included seven missionary discussions that emphasized [four topics, one of them being] THE APOSTASY and Restoration [This makes it 60 years that Mormon church missionaries, soon to number 85,000, have formally emphasized in its training & door to door saturation a priority in bashing the worldwide Christian church as apostates (100% AWOL)] | Our Heritage: A Brief History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints p. 116, 1996 |
So why no "feedback" to the Mormon church, Mountainfolk about documented attacks upon worldwide Christianity? (see last post; plus links below)
Which bashers assumed the now 24/7 initiative to claim about worldwide Christianity that...
...all Protestant, Catholic & Orthodox churches are all "apostate?"
...all Protestant, Catholic & Orthodox churches are allegedly not part of the "only true & living church on the face of the earth" (D&C 1:30) -- thereby labeling them as false and dead?
...all Protestant, Catholic & Orthodox creeds -- 100% of them -- are an "abomination" to the Mormon gods?
...the gift of indwelling Holy Spirit is to be found NOWHERE outside of Mormonism?
...no missionary work outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely authorized?
...no baptism outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely authorized?
...no communion outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely authorized?
...no spiritual gifts outside of Mormonism is recognized as divinely given?
...although the apostle Paul wrote about prophetic gifts to the Corinthians (which is distinct from any official "OFFICE" of prophet as we find in the Old Testament), Mormonism claims no one but their top echelon speaks prophetically any more as guided by the Holy Spirit? [Ironically, many Mormon apologists and writers have attempted to belittle Christianity for saying God doesn't reveal revelations any more; yet, these very advocates of Mormonism have "bottled up" God from speaking to anyone beyond a few who happen to live in Salt Lake City!]
Answer to each of these questions? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons), is it not? (Then Mormons should start taking responsibility for what their tithe pays for!)
Why does the Mormon faith bash us 24/7 as the heirs of "the Great Apostasy?"
Why does the Mormon faith bash us 24/7, claiming we in the Christian church have...
...zero priesthood authority?
...zero authoritative, prophetic revelation
...our spiritual forefathers corrupted the scriptures beyond internal restoration or reformation?
Why does the Mormon faith bash 100% of our professing believers as being "corrupt" -- corrupt in both our theology as well as our individual & collective morality? (Joseph Smith History, vv. 18-20, Pearl of Great Price)
ALL: For more of the above, see this thread posted Oct. 9, 2013:
The Great Apostasy [Mormonism labels ALL Protestant, Catholic & Orthodox churches 'apostate']
See also If Mormonism is 'anti-Christian,' then how can it be considered 'Christian?'
How sad, how very sad.....you feel free to comment on a subject you know nothing about......10-4
Dear lord we are so screwed. Billy if was good message, but the audience that would have heard it is long in the past.
“Theres an awful lot of Muzzies down there in Florida, which I find worrisome.
Oh?
Why??
Are you some kind of religious bigot?”
Are you a Muzzie lover?
Yup; right in there is also Freedom of Speech.
It appears that MORMONs and others might want to STIFLE mine.
Good luck with THAT!!
Truman said something about heat and the kitchen, I believe...
Now THERE is a nice, Islamic concept!
I wonder from where IT emanates??

It looks like it; IF the data is correct.
Only if you THEN claimed that YOUR little group was the ONLY Jews, and all of the others are bogus.
THAT, my FRiend, is exactly what MORMONism claims: that all OF Christianity (EXCEPT THEM) is apostate and hellbound.
{Haven't you been READING the material provided here; directly from MORMON sources?}
Heck; the big bullies in SLC won't even let OTHER 'believers in the book of MORMON' be called "Mormon"!
