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.
>> A shame really.<<
Agreed!
Ok; you DO realize how Mormonism works!

17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him! 18 My object in going to inquire 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 wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power 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 lying 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, mother 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.” |
