Yes, but some have come onto the threads and whined and yelled about what they call insults to Mormonism—to me, fLDS is not the same as LDS, and no insult to Mormons was ever intended. I’ve said so, but it made no difference. Some of these threads can get pretty ugly, and I see NO reason for it.
>>fLDS is not the same as LDS<<
I agree.
I guess I know what the Catholics go through with the Priest sex scandals. I wouldn’t want to go through the hate that spewed at our church because of the stupidity of the hierarchy. (and please to anyone that wants to argue that here, it’s not for this thread)
Maybe it’s reactionary.
But we need to understand that all of us have bigger enemy than each other. In the end, Jewish, Mormon or Christian, there are people who want to enslave or murder us.
Infighting doesn’t help.

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 otherThis 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 wellI am well enough off. I then said to my mother, I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true. |
