For apparently having little or no understanding of the quote, you are really REALLY doing an admirable job of following it. SALUTE!
If you think its all a bunch of hooey anyway, why do you care?

The mormon articles of faith
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
and yet you are not letting me “worship how, where, or what I may.” ???
Plus you mormons are not letting my ancestors “worship how, where, or what they may.”
Well not in the grave where they might like to continue to worship how they did when they were topside...
Oh NO!
There is NOTHING to 'translate' there; as it came DIRECT from GOD.
Now it MIGHT be mistranslated into non-English languages by today's MORMON translators.
Here is (I assume) some of the ORIGINAL stuff:
THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTSSECTION 1325157, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 5866, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.
You got logic;
She has emotion.
Guess which one is more important...
You only up to 17. Just wait 12 more...
MORMONs; apparently having little or no understanding of the BIBLE, are really REALLY doing an admirable job of following what those two demons told JS. Pray!
Thank you Els
:)
I wonder, if some group of people were to perform a ritual and say that Joseph Smith was now baptized into a different religion how the Mormons would take that?
And what if this was a gay group of people and they married Smith off to some gay man, would the Mormons realize that what they are doing is as absurd as the second group marrying off their dear dead prophet?
Is there a way to find out if one of my ancestors was “dead dunked”?
Whats the point of trashing a religion that has produced such goodness in America.

Whats good about a religion that trashes the 1st Amendment ???
When you find that someone was born in New York 1680 and baptised in 1920 you can be sure he wasnt presented by his own parents ...
Mormonism is creepy and disgusting ...
and not “good” for America...
Not Constitutional America anyway...
Check familysearch .com
also Ancestry is now owned by the Mormons
even before that it was influenced by Mormon doctrine..
Their free family trees have a menu that includes LDS baptisms, endowments etc
also the old
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com
usually has the baptism dates centuries after the birth...
Theres several clues as to who runs the site..
But check familysearch
If your ancestor is in there he will have been dead dunked
If his name is in there several times its because he was dead dunked several times...
different temples different strangers putting in YOUR ancestors name for dead dunking...
When I first started finding mine in there I want to throw up...
and you can no longer access the pages to see all the info either...
You use to be able to go to pages that would give you the particular temple dates etc
When Obamas Mom was dead dunked in June 2008 and married FINALLY to Obama senior, endowed and sealed to Barry making him a Mormon president the Mormons changed their site
Now only paid up members of Mormonism can access the pages...
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Was it the way I phrased the question? Or you can’t ask someone what their personal problem is?
I think that’s why I like the Mormons. They ain’t got a problem telling the Federales where they can go.
“If you think its all a bunch of hooey anyway, why do you care?”
Exactly. The feigned indignation is strong on this thread.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Can they marry Cousin It? Can they have a happy ending with The Thing?
Ah, Morticia, I love it when you talk French!
Ancestry.com is actually publicly held (ACOM) and not owned by Mormons.
