I have to say that emotions are running high. So why do you do it? Why bother with those who hate you?
Personally, I just viewed an Anti-Catholic thread that became so vile, I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole. Some of the Catholic FReepers defend the faith, I’m not going to bother with people who don’t care to listen.
It’s a waste of time.
And (this is a serious question, not meant to be smarmy cause I just don’t know) have you ever seen any of the Mormon FReepers pushing their beliefs on a non-Mormon/non-Romney thread? That’s the reason why the Anti-Catholic troll hunters were started. We found that there wasn’t a single one of the Catholics that pushed beliefs on a thread that was not started by a Catholic. But let the words “Pope”, “Rosary” or “Mary” appear in a title and BAM we were targets. Constantly on the defense with people who only saw things their own way, no other.
And don’t worry about being overdressed for Saturday Vigil. You’d fit in fine in my parish. Our women wear dresses! Even in a COLD MI Winter!
>>Ya but to the credit of most Christians on FR its the same ol’ insecure 10-11 carpet bombers who never mis an LDS thread. <<
Some do double duty on the Catholic threads too.
Now what does THAT tell you.
A lot of men in my area didn’t even go on missions in the 50s...a lot of them couldn’t afford it.
CoCo...how are you at picking Power Ball numbers?
:)PaMom (or just call me Darrylann!))
Which version?
have you ever seen any of the Mormon FReepers pushing their beliefs on a non-Mormon/non-Romney thread?
I think this thread is a good example as are the other five threads a day we've been seeing in News/Activism.
And yes Mormons are taught Every member a missionary from the time they are three years old. They are admonished to share the "gospel" at every opportunity that comes their way. If you had spent much time recognizing the LDS posters here, I think you would have found many instances of proselytizing.
Bump
Color me green with envy. Darrylann? I did’nt get the way kewl aspostrophed name...
I got the number.
Oh, really? Go back and read your own posts.
Doggone, Saundra. It took you eighty nine posts to get into a Mormon thread. You are really slipping there.
LOL....I don’t gamble. It’s a throw-back to my “good” Mormon ways.
No...I mean, some who speak here want to show how nice they are and how they are just like everyone else, but they do it to put forth the fact that they are Mormons, not to just be nice people with good values, but to promote the ism of that which they are in.
It’s a pride thing, an identity with that which one thinks identifies the person’s whole reason for existence.
My identity and pride is in Jesus, who is YHWH come in flesh as my Redeemer/Kinsman. I do not take pride in anything else but I glory in Him and in His name.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that a few posters on the mormonism discussion threads have actually studied the Bible and the books mormons claim are scripture from God ... like the revised King James Bible Smith ‘translated’ from King James English into, you guessed it, King James English except with additions he made to fabricate prophecies of himself like at the end to the Book of Genesis (hundreds of words added to the end of chptr 50, JST), and the ‘Pearl of Great Price’ which Smith claimed was ‘The Book of Abraham’ and it turned out to be a common late dynasty funerary papyrus. Some keep showing up on these mormonism threads because they have learned how to expose the heresies and falsehoods at the heart of mormonism. ... Have you noticed THAT?
Maybe Elsie will forgive you for that.
Maybe Elsie will forgive you for that. You might even get absolution from Fast Coyote!
As you can tell by one of the conversations you're currently having, it's rarely about a reasoned discussion in a civil manner, but rather war. It's a win at all costs, the ends justify the means type of attitude. As it is w/ the MSM, & liberals in general, even though they are in the minority, they are so loud & so outlandish, they often get the attention.
Regardless of how many times they are exposed for their misrepresentations, falsehoods, misquotes, & statements taken out of context, they feel if the say the same things enough times, some will believe. Right out of the liberal playbook. A shame really. So many wonderful discussions have been had here by those w/ different beliefs & views, & then BAM, the thread is high-jacked, they call in the army, & the carpet-bombing begins.
As you very aptly put it, it's not just w/ the Mormon threads. I truly feel for them. It's got to be horrible living w/ so much negativity in their lives day after day. Sadly, they seem to seek it out. I pray for them often.
If those showing up to expose were as gifted as they think they are they might have concinced someone by now. But they haven't. Have you noticed THAT? lol.
