Of course, but just because Jim or anyone else doesn't consider us Christians, denying self professing Christians a Caucus forum while allowing all others seems out of harmony with the spirit of the Forum.

I still think if it's a choice between getting rid of LDS Caucus threads and allowing and promoting anti Mormon threads, then do away with all Caucus threads completely.

Look, if you don’t like the way I choose to manage this site, you can always post elsewhere.

This is Jim's forum and I never offer him advice on how to run it.

That said, I don't think it is true that all self-described Christians have caucus threads here. For example I have never seen caucus threads for Christian Scientists, nor for Jehova's Witnesses.

I understand and expect Mormons to promote Mormonism and I see your call to eliminate all caucuses in the event that Mormon Caucus threads are disallowed as an example of that. However I don't see any reason why the "spirit of the Forum" would require this.

You make it sound like only Christian groups are allowed caucus designation, and that isn’t true. There are Jewish/Noahchide caucuses as well.

The problem is that the LDS ABUSE the caucus designation, posting articles that are designed to proselytize without any debate.

HYPOCRITES usually cannot see themselves in a mirror.

Style Guide - The Name of the Church

The official name of the Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This full name was given by revelation from God to Joseph Smith in 1838.

While the term "Mormon Church" has long been publicly applied to the Church as a nickname, it is not an authorized title, and the Church discourages its use.

When writing about the Church, please follow these guidelines:

• In the first reference, the full name of the Church is preferred: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints".
• Please avoid the use of "Mormon Church", "LDS Church" or the "Church of the Latter-day Saints".
• When a shortened reference is needed, the terms "the Church" or "the Church of Jesus Christ" are encouraged.
• When referring to Church members, the term "Latter-day Saints" is preferred, though "Mormons" is acceptable.
• "Mormon" is correctly used in proper names such as the Book of Mormon, Mormon Tabernacle Choir or Mormon Trail, or when used as an adjective in such expressions as "Mormon pioneers."
• The term "Mormonism" is acceptable in describing the combination of doctrine, culture and lifestyle unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
• When referring to people or organizations that practice polygamy, the terms "Mormons," "Mormon fundamentalist," "Mormon dissidents," etc. are incorrect. The Associated Press Stylebook notes: "The term Mormon is not properly applied to the other ... churches that resulted from the split after [Joseph] Smith's death."

Speaking of HYPOCRITES...

WHY won't these LOVING and CARING men reach out to the people who actually follow MORMON scripture (D&C 132) and ALLOW them to be called MORMON?

 

Since the SLC hierarchy is afraid of the Government and NOT of GOD, THEY should be the ones who CANNOT be called MORMONs: NOT the FUNDAMENTALISTs!
