The following is a list of men in the Iron Military District of Utah Territorys Nauvoo Legion militia whose names have been associated with the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The names have been gathered from a variety of sources that include eyewitness accounts, arrest warrants, criminal indictments, and newspaper articles.
A completely accurate list of those who participated in or witnessed the murder of the California-bound emigrants may be impossible to compile. Many of the participants kept silent about their roles. The testimonies of many witnesses were given fifteen years or more after the massacre. Those who admitted being at the massacre were usually careful not to incriminate themselves and their closest associates.
The names are organized in alphabetical order. Each entry includes life span, as well as age, militia rank (where applicable), residence at the time of the massacre.1 Because of the varying credibility of evidence, a note of [A] or [B] has been placed after each individuals name and age; [A] indicates there is strong evidence the individual planned, authorized, participated in, or witnessed the killing of emigrants, and [B] indicates that the evidence is inconclusive. Men whose names have been associated with the massacre have not been listed if there is little or no evidence to support that association.2

No, what it indicates is another position the LdS church is taking that is in direct contradiction to previous positions. Why is SLC so feckless and indecisive? Choose a position and stick with it. Be consistent. Is the mormon god that confused about this? Is that what mormons are stating due to the ever evolving and changing doctrine? Yeah.
At first, all others [Christians] were “whores of Babylon”, only mormons were God’s chosen people. They were content to be called mormons and not Christian. The vile spewed from mormon pulpits by mormon prophets and apostles proves that.
Over the years, it’s changed to the point where now mormons want to claim Christianity and at the same time, still denigrate Christians by stating they’re still apostate, but not as bad.
No PD, God does not change. He is omniscient and omnipotent. He knows all. He is not the God of confusion, satan is.
I pray that God will lift the scales from the eyes of mormons so that they may see that.
“Only in the mind of one whose mind is already set. Like an anti-Mormon propagandist for example.”
Frankly, my friend PD, I would argue to you that the
opposite is true. The links are a collection of facts,
evidence and logical argument that is useful ONLY to those
who have an open mind. To a mormon, such as yourself,
who is close-minded to the falsification of mormonism
and relies on feelings as the foundation of your faith,
the links are worthless.
It is only mormons who are unafraid of truth and are
open-minded to seeing how mormonism can stand up to
rigorous examination that the links prove to be priceless.
Loving God with your whole heart, soul and mind requires
using your mind. For those who want to fulfill the Great
Commandment by loving God with their mind, an examination
of the truth is required.
Blessings to you,

So your statements the last few posts are in complete contradiction from lds teachings. Sure hope he doesn’t find out, you might lose you temple recommendation (if you have one that is).
Back to that nonsensical blabber again eh? /smh
You need to look here. You are being misled as is obvious by your worn out propaganda.

“You need to look here.”
Did.
“You are being misled...”
I knew that as soon as I looked.
I’m being misled by you - but I realize it.
My links will help you if you are sincere
Mormons want to believe the church is true more than they want to know the truth.
There, in a nutshell is the perfect description of the current mormon attempt at highjacking the name "Christian". Well said, SZ!
Mormonism not only demands a "seat at the Christian banquet table", it demands to set the menu, control the guest list, collect the funds from the ticket sales, and choose its own non-Biblical unedited and false message from its chosen speaker, all the while whining about being persecuted.
nonsensical blabber = mormonISM
The “I have no legitimate response to your post” fallback position. It’s worn-out PD, it no longer has any intended effect [had none with me to begin with].
The liars of SLC have taught you well. When there is no rational or logical response, accuse me of being duped/misled and then for good measure, say I’m a propagandist.
I feel for you though, as I can relate. I was there once.
Praying that God will lift the scales from your eyes and allow you to see that SLC is deceiving you and all the other mormons. I’m especially praying for those who still persist in lying by saying that because we engage your doctrine and theology that we “hate” you. Those poor souls are being held back by the father of lies.
