What Mormon Missionaries WON'T Tell You

You don't believe that I was with YWAM as a missionary. That's funny. If I didn't think you'd harass my sons, I'd give you their contact information. You think I made all that up about YWAM? How about the time in Belize when I had a bot-fly larvae growing under my skin? How about the time my Mom, my son and I were threatened by Guatemalan “soldiers” while on our way to Tekal? How about the time my son developed giardia?

Why is it so important to you to discredit me? Bizarre.

[Saundra Duffy]

“how do you KNOW it was the Holy Ghost and not a demon??”

Because Jesus Christ is my Witness. When Jesus was on the earth, he was accused of having a demon, too. Remember? I guess that’s why He cautioned us not to judge each other.

You are sure you are right - that I am going to hell and all Mormons are going to hell. You are absolutely certain beyond a shadow of a doubt. Now THAT’s really frightening - for you, not me.

"Why is it so important to you to discredit me? Bizarre."

I ask myself the same question about certain FReepers sometimes...

[Normandy]

Quite honestly it doesn’t bother me what someone thinks of my religious beliefs — I know where I put my trust, and that is sufficient for me.

I think it is a shame though that opponents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would spend so much time and effort trying to convince anyone who will listen to them that LDS don’t believe in Jesus Christ and rely on him for their salvation. That’s plain false.

What these opponents say, however, won’t affect the Lord’s work — it’s not possible to thwart his purposes.

What is affected is the spiritual welfare of those who perpetrate such attacks, and I do feel sorry for those who are involved in the meanness and mockery which reflect nothing of the Spirit of Christ. Why use such antics should be used against people who are honestly striving to follow Jesus?

Paul says the fruit of the spirit is “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” (Galatians 5:22-23) Those fruits are not in evidence in these spiteful attacks.

I love the enemies of my faith and want the best for them, but I fear those involved in this extreme antagonism are going to reap what they sow. “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again” (Matt. 7:2)

a murmurer (now that smarted),

-p - - - - - - -

Now, now, now...we’ve met, you are NOT a murmurer! You speak very clearly! ;)

And I love you, T.

[reaganaut]

Thanks for proving you never ‘got it’.

Oy vey!

[reaganaut]

Lord of what? The AoF are just the ‘milk’ of Mormon doctrine, the ‘meat’ comes later. It is disingenuous to say that it is all that the LDS believe.

[reaganaut]

I was told that Mormons were evil and to not talk to them.

- - - - - -
Good advice, some you probably should have taken.

[reaganaut]

OUCH! (and accurate).

[reaganaut]

For the last time, this isn’t a ‘game’.

Jesus is Lord, so why do you just accept Him and leave that God forsaken cult?

[reaganaut]

You are right in supposing that your Jesus is different from my Jesus. My Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who loves me and accepts me; He suffered and died to save me from my sins. Apparently, your Jesus is different; your Jesus condemns me.

- - — —
NOW, you are paying attention, Sandy, but not quite

Our Jesus condemns MORMONISM, he loves Mormons but it grieves Him to see them blaspheming Him. C’mon Sandy repent and come to the REAL Christ, eternally God, who died on the cross to pay for your sins, so you don’t have to ‘work for it’.

[reaganaut]

Past my bedtime placemarker.

[Elsie]

And the LDS have very different views of what Jesus saves them from, where it took place and who He is.

HMMmm...

Perhaps I need to work up a tagline for my alter ego...

[Elsie]

C’mon Sandy, give us some of these ‘lies’.

She might be saving her illusions for one last blast; as she has ticked off JR severely,and he's on her case!

[Elsie]

[Elsie]

The leader said “We will pray about it.” I was SHOCKED!! What's to pray about?

And yet, today, you MORMONs advise folks to do EXACTLY that!

Pray about whether the BoM is true or not.

Ya think there MIGHT be just a wee bit of a DISCONNECT in thinking here?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

You wrote: "What's to pray about?"

Oh ye of little faith...

Read Luke 18

Luke 18

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'

4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!'"

6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

[Elsie]

Don’t forget that Pratt said he was a ‘sinner’ too. OY Vey!

 

 

Might as well; since it was common knowledge...

"Here was my husband, gray headed, taking to his bed young girls in mockery of marriage.

Of course there could be no joy for him in such an intercourse except for the indulgence of his fanaticism and of something else, perhaps, which I hesitate to mention."

[Elsie]

Because Jesus Christ is my Witness.

We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
