Some Mormon women sing...

Some Mormon women dance...

Some Mormon women write scary stories...

Some Mormon women have a lot of money and really great hair...

I know hundreds of Mormon women. They do all kinds of different things and live all different kinds of lives.

This woman served as a leader in the Mormon church. She recently spoke to teenage girls worldwide. She encouraged them to stand up to peer pressure, strengthen their families and serve others. (Click here for more.)


None of the Mormon women I know look like this...

None of them are marrying off their teenage daughters and-- although some may joke about wanting a sister-wife (preferably one who is really fat & ugly, does bathrooms and changes diapers)--none of them really want to share their husband with anyone.

Furthermore...

Some Mormon guys can throw a ball...

Some Mormon guys yell at the ball...

Some Mormon guys make scary movies...

Some Mormon guys have a lot of money and really great hair...

I know hundreds of Mormon guys. They do all kinds of different things and live all kinds of different lives.

This is one of the leaders of the Mormon church. Last Sunday he spoke about honoring women, especially mothers, and gave advice to husbands and children about how to treat the women in their lives. (For the whole story, click here.)

None of the Mormon men I know look like this...

The Mormon men I know are honest and hard-working. They don't cheat, smoke, drink or gamble. And TRUST ME....the last thing any of them want is another wife.

"What would you like to discuss about any other one?"

You said at #440 that we were ignorant of the Gospel, so pick a real one and ask away. I'm ready.

Care to start with Matthew 22:30?

The point isn't to know what Jesus looked like. That picture is what a Jew of his time looked like.

Keep in mind Jesus was a carpenter, as was his father Joseph. They didn't go to the lumber yard to pick up wood to make into useful wooden objects. Jesus and his male family members would have hiked into the woods, cut down the trees, cut them into logs, carried them home, removed the bark, cut the logs into planks or manageable pieces that could have been used in carpentry. All of this physical work would have been done without the simple tools that were available at the time.

Jesus would have been a strong man, very strong, involved in the intensive labor of carpentry. He would have been very muscular.

In the bible we were told that Jesus’ appearance did not make him stand out of a crowd. He didn't look like he had come from heaven. He looked human like us. This doesn't mean he was beautiful or ugly. He could have been either. We'll never know.

In fact, when you look at most of the world, there are few beautiful people. And we are all created in God's image. So, who is beautiful, according to God? Jesus? Of course. Certainly, a typical, nondescript human is also beautiful, as well as those of us who have physical deformities that make our bodies less than perfect. In the eyes of God, each is beautiful.

Don't keep trying the patience of the moderators. That applies to both of you. FR is not the place for never-ending religious flame wars.

Oh, and if I have to go back through myriad posts to find out who started the flame war, it means both are culpable, because both perpetuated it.

That picture is what a Jew of his time looked like.

How about, "...is what a Jew of his time possibly looked like."

They didn't go to the lumber yard to pick up wood to make into useful wooden objects.

No kidding! Really? You mean to tell me that there were no Home Depot stores around for him?

This doesn't mean he was beautiful or ugly. He could have been either. We'll never know.

That is the point. we don't know what he looked like here in earth and it really does not make a difference, does it?

I stand by my earlier post about this topic. I like to believe that Jesus was not ugly and that he was a good looking Jew of his time.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

LOL

You like to think of Him as good looking. I cannot even picture His face when I speak to Him! It is beyond being irrelevant, it is silly.

In the faces of man, I see God. But I do not put a face in my mind and think that that face is what Jesus possibly looked like.

Jesus trancends that, in my heart and my mind.

Don't keep trying the patience of the moderators.

Ok...

The NEXT time OMM smarts off to me I will NOT respond to HIM; but will respond to you and let you use your decision making abilities to determine a fair and just course of action.

[AppyPappy]

Or you could just ignore it. Geez people. Relax. Take up tai chi or something.

[Osage Orange]

ROFLOL!!!

Resty you are a hoot........

[Osage Orange]

[It's me]

Well, clearly you are better than I.

[Old Mountain man]

So are you, Elsie.

[Osage Orange]

Ha!!

I'm suing.....ROFLOL!!!

Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.

Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Men must have a cancellation of their sealings before they can be married in the temple to a woman again.

That change may have been made for cases of divorce, but not for cases where the wife has died. Men can still be sealed to multiple women, but no longer to multiple living women. A couple of years back, one of the Apostles was sealed to a second wife almost exactly one year after his first wife died -- you can be quite sure the sealing to the first wife wasn't cancelled. Women can only be sealed to one man, period.

Polygamy in the afterlife is alive and well in LDS theology. Doesn't bother me, but it seems to reliably make the militant anti-Mormon crowd apoplectic. If only for that reason, I'd really hate to see it done away with :-)

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Thank you for the quotes.

[Utah Girl]

Yes, you are correct. In case of divorce, then both men and women must have their sealings cancelled before marrying again in the temple. Thanks for the correction. :)

“Just tired of the personal attacks that dear admin moderator seems to blame on me. Dear admin moderator never goes back far enough to see where these folks start their attacks.”

I knew you were a cult member, but I didn’t know you were a liberal too. Playing the victim card will get you no where on this conservative forum. You should know better than that.
