There seems to be quite a lot of selectivity with respect to labeling or not labeling the multitude of personal attacks hurled at me and others and at the things we hold sacred.

It's one thing for an individual to make what is arguably and purportedly a "personal attack," but quite another when a forum continues to serve as an institutional, overflowing well of religious hate, intolerance, and bigotry against "Mormons.".

This is the second time I have had to make that point.

It would appear that a cost-benefit analysis would be worthy of your consideration relative to the numbers of individuals who take quite personally the continuous flow of venom and vitriol that erupts at the mere mention of anything "Mormon."

By FR's own policy this sort of garbage should be removed from the main forum and onto the Religion forum where said invariably dies a well-deserved death. Violating one's own policy has a way of attracting unwanted attention from many and diverse interests...

Try it even a third time, and see if you get any different response from the RM.

Is the following 'personal' or 'institutional'?

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself ^adelivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I ^bsaw two ^cPersonages, whose brightness and ^dglory defy all description, ^estanding above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My ^fBeloved ^gSon. Hear Him!

  18 My object in going to ^ainquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.

  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all ^awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those ^bprofessors were all ^ccorrupt; that: “they ^ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ^ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the ^fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the ^gpower thereof.”

  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself ^alying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, ^bmother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

The ETERNAL Doctrine of polygamy has gone by the wayside,

the bias against Blacks has gone by the wayside,

the place that women used to take in the LDS organization has gone by the wayside,

but nothing has lifted this ATTACK against ALL the other 'churches'.

I wonder why?
