I should have said the word "mormon" appearing in any article or thread instead of leaving out the word "article". Either way my sentiment stands, in this case the word "mormon" seems to have triggered your post.
I just don't understand what makes you Mormon bashers,(generic), so quick on the draw and so testy!!
lol...what triggered my post was in response to another that stated one had to be a member to understand/know of the various practices/teachings of LDS.
My was response was predicated upon the reading of the referenced book, the statements of relatives/friends. I responded within my own sphere of knowledge/understanding.
Raised as a Catholic, the practices of LDS of gauze type underwear to ward off/protect from evil, the stepping through the veil at the Temple, the husband giving his wife her 'secret name' as he called her through the veil, the husband (after death) would be a 'god' among many planets calling his various wives (if applicable) by their secret names to rule with him, the branding of divorced wives as witches and were to be shunned, ....ARE ALL foreign concepts to me. I never thought it possible. I just referenced a book that I thought was germaine to the other FReeper's statement.
