Question for a Mormon

---

How does the Mormon community react when one Mormon tells lies about another Mormon and brags of the lie's success.

[Elsie]

Why would he lose his Temple Recommend?

Do YOU have one?

[Elsie]

Temple Recommends are personal. It's not publicized who has one and who doesn't.

Why don't you want to admit whether you are WORTHY or not?

[Elsie]

You mean like Colofornian, Elsie, You, T Nana etc...??

 

What's for dinner?

 

D&C 49:18-19  18 And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God; 19 For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance.

D&C 89:12-13  12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; 13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

[Elsie]

We were also disfellowshipped for going to the branch. They claimed that the Lord couldn’t see us once we left the ward perimeter

ADMIT IT!!!

It's OBVIOUS that you guys WANTED to sin!!

--MormonDude(When would be a good time for a couple of our clean cut young folks to stop by your home and more fully explain the Restored Gospel® to you and your loving family?)

[Elsie]

I wasn't there though. So obviously I can't really have an opinion.

Uh; this hasn't stopped you before...

[Elsie]

I wouldn't mind hearing in a private message though.

I hear stuff in private a LOT!

(I've NO idea why they won't say those things here in public...)

[Elsie]

How come you know so much about Mormonism?

compared to our FR Mormons?

[Tennessee Nana]

WHAT ???

No bikes with ugly ties any more ???

[Tennessee Nana]

Oh and its so good to hear from MormonDude again...

:)

[Tennessee Nana]

Oh was this an Elsiethon ???

:(

[Hornet22]

Okay - you caught me! Making sure the family got to church was totally wrong!. I’m sorry!
Oh, and the “clean cut boys” were told to stay away from our house - questioning “authority” is a bad thing to do.

[Colofornian]

How come you know so much about Mormonism? compared to our FR Mormons?

1. Well, we all suffer from "culture blindness." We see things and yet, not really. (So sometimes it just takes an outsider's eyes to focus on what we look past daily)

2. There's a certain large river in Egypt.

(Sometimes, our conscience needs plausible "outs")

[StormPrepper]

I have NEVER ONCE HEARD ANYONE REFERRED TO AS "ROYALTY"

Wow, you spent all that time to find quotes that have nothing to do with the topic I was responding to, unreal. I was responding to the claim that Mitt Romney was "Mormon Royalty". NOT we are of royal heritage being sons of God.

Do you even understand the concept of context, or do you just like looking foolish? Unreal....

[StormPrepper]

I hear stuff in private a LOT!

I have no doubt you hear a lot of voices Elsie...

[StormPrepper]

Why don't you want to admit whether you are WORTHY or not?

Matt 7:
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Just following the Lords advice.

[SZonian]

John 6:29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

I am an ex-mormon. I make no bones about my exposing the false doctrines or theology of mormonism. Debating mormonISM, its doctrines, theology and tenets does not make one a "hater" of mormons as individuals. Those accusations only serve to prove that the person(s) making them are themselves students of Saul Alinsky and his "Rules for Radicals", troglodytes not worthy of any respect or consideration. They resort to liberal tactics, making personal attacks like petulant little children.

I was led to believe many doctrines and tenets by the mormon church. I have come to the knowledge that the purported "prophets" in SLC have kept their members in the dark. I was a mormon for many years, temple recommend, sealed to my wife in the Wash. D.C. temple, melchizedek p.h., various callings throughout.

How did I come to leave mormonism? The innumerable inconsistencies in mormon teachings and doctrines. That the temple rites don't exist in any mormon scripture. The mormon teaching/belief that Jesus is a created being, that He "worked" or earned His way back to heaven. That man can become as God. [Garden of Eden original sin.] Once I started putting all of this together, I quit. But I didn't really. I was a jack mormon for quite some time. It wasn't until recently that I engaged some folks on FR about mormons. They helped me gain an even deeper understanding of what it was that I was missing. A relationship with Jesus Christ. Since then, it's been a rocky road, filled with a lot of false starts, but I finally got some momentum going. I have found the one, unalterable God and my salvation in Jesus Christ.

“Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful” (Prov.27:5-6).

For those mormons who are seeking support in leaving the mormon church, here are a few sites to help get you started. You can FReepmail me as well.

Born again Mormon

Is mormonism Christian?

You can find freedom in Christ and Him alone.

[StormPrepper]

You can find freedom in Christ and Him alone.

And you think you found Him in modern day "Christianity"?

The innumerable inconsistencies in mormon teachings and doctrines.

Sounds to me like you were looking for an excuse to leave.

So then you went chasing after the gospel of eternal vagueness. All their religious scholars can't even come to agreement on whether they should baptize babies or not... They've had no direct communication from God in 2000 years, but you found Jesus in their ranks...

They helped me gain an even deeper understanding of what it was that I was missing. A relationship with Jesus Christ. Since then, it's been a rocky road, filled with a lot of false starts, but I finally got some momentum going. I have found the one, unalterable God and my salvation in Jesus Christ.

You've been deceived. Jesus doesn't lead men in 15 different directions. He only leads in one. He only teaches one truth not 1000s.

The only way to salvation is to walk the path that Jesus walked. Do the things that Jesus did. Develop love for all mankind which is charity. Once you start to have compassion for everyone then you will begin to see the world through Jesus' eyes. Then you can honestly say, I know Jesus and He truly knows me.

Unfortunately, the path you've chosen doesn't lead in that direction.

This is what Jesus meant when He said:
Matt 15:
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

In other words, lip service. These people have not developed the God like attributes that will allow them entry into the kingdom of God.

Remember Lehi's dream?
1 Nephi 8:
23 And it came to pass that there arose a mist of darkness; yea, even an exceedingly great mist of darkness, insomuch that they who had commenced in the path did lose their way, that they wandered off and were lost.

1 Nephi 12:
17 And the mists of darkness are the temptations of the devil, which blindeth the eyes, and hardeneth the hearts of the children of men, and leadeth them away into broad roads, that they perish and are lost.

But hey, it's your choice though right?

[StormPrepper]

D&C 49:18-19
18 And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;

19 For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance.

Ahhh so the Lord gave the beast so we could have clothing and have a large amount of food for our use.

D&C 89:12-13
12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;

13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

Right, you don't have to just use them in hard times, but don't gobble everything up so you will always have abundance. Understood.

Oh I'm sorry Elsie, did I step on your anti-Mormon moment?

[Colofornian]

So "anyone" in 228 becomes "Mitt Romney" in 273?

Do words actually mean anything to you?
