Hysteria? Are you going to condemn the hysterics of the 52,000 mormon missionaries whose "hysteria" leads them to sacrifice two full years of their lives going out daily and telling Christians that their Christian faith is bogus and the only way to salvation is to become a mormon and take part in their arcane rituals in the temples?
Oh if that is the criteria for truth, then what is giving up one's life for their belief? Two years or your entire life? So according to your logic those who followed Jim Jones, or any jihadist who self-detonates must have the real truth.
Big deal if someone rides a bicycle for two years - what about a man who devotes many years in seminary to get his ThD? Will two years of door-to-door sales equip a man with doctrinal truth better than years of seminary study?
WHOA!
My comment was pointing out the fact that the poster was calling the bringing to light on FR the truth about mormonism from original mormon sources by a few of us, "hysteria".
The work of a handful of FReepers compared to the swarming of 52,000 full time missionaries across the globe does not match the mormons for "hysteria".
what about a man who devotes many years in seminary to get his ThD?
Apples to apples. Bringing OUR message vs. their sending THEIR message. The full time Christian clergy vs. the mormon part-time clergy is a different matter entirely.
