Open forum, open discussion. Take it to your own web site if that’s what you want.

*Footnote on Caucuses

When we first began using Caucus labels to close threads in the interest of providing “safe harbor,” the Calvinists posted several articles which represented what the Catholics believe. Several Catholics strongly objected to such a thread qualifying for a closed caucus. Other posters agreed and so did I.

After much discussion on thread, we determined that a caucus thread cannot be used as cover to take shots at another confession, argue against other confessions’ doctrines and traditions and so on. The other confession has an interest in rebutting statements made “against” it - no matter how mild those statements might be.

Factual statements alone cannot remove a caucus protection, e.g. the current Pope is named Benedict, Martin Luther died in 1546, etc.

But when a poster of another confession protests that statements made in a Caucus are incomplete, inaccurate, a strawman or whatever – and I determine those statements to have merit - the Caucus label must be removed so that rebuttals can be made.


Re: I have never barge in on other closed threads to disrupt do you not believe in the golden rule!

The golden rule? Oh is that where the one with the “Golden Plates” makes the rules. Guess I’d have to see the Golden Plates first.

If you mean by Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you’d have them to unto you,” then yes, I would want others to know the Truth (Jesus Christ), as I have come to know Him.

Jesus (the Truth) came to set the captives free.

What on earth does the "golden rule" have to do with this situation. If I was posting an article like this I would want people to freely comment - so is it you who doesn't believe in the golden rule?

And by the way, I have "many" un-named experts who agree with me...

I’m puzzled. This thread isn’t marked as a closed LDS caucus. Am I allowed to participate or not?

There are no closed threads on FR. If you wish a closed thread go elsewhere.
