"The Mormon Defense League" is out. "MormonVoices" is in.
That change became official Monday, when the Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research announced a name change for its website aimed at defending the teachings and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
FAIR is a non-profit organization that, according to a press release, is operated by "self-motivated Mormons who seek to improve the public understanding about the church" through conferences, workshops and scholarly articles posted on the organization's websites. While it is dedicated to "providing well-documented answers to criticisms of the doctrine, beliefs and practices" of the LDS Church, it is not owned, controlled by or affiliated with the church.

Only after the attempted purge by mormons during the "hosing the pigs" war.
We will provide you with links, suggestions on how to educate yourself on issues, and recommendations on input that might prove helpful....in other words, don't you DARE to research the mormon church on your own...you might find out it has been lying to you for nearly two centuries!
Sad that millions of brainwashed mormons will swallow that line and dutifully follow the instructions.
So the GA has abdicated its authority to say what is and isn't doctrine to a non-lds church sanctioned group of quasi- amateurs.
The first...
Look it over....
Especially this one...

Foul play but not surprising under the circumstances. Paragon Defender repeated the word Nazi when referring to someone elses post and that was a good enough excuse to get him/her banned.
OH MY GOD!!!!...someone mentioned PD!!!??? AHHAHHAGHHHHH!!!!! How DREADFUL!!!!! How Monsterous of you!!
FOUL!!! I CALL FOUL!!! TO THE PENALTY BOX for you Scoutmaster!!! HOW DREADFUL!!!! No.....HOW PERFECTLY DREADFUL!!!
OH MY GOD!!! WHAT NEXT???!!!
Only after the attempted purge by mormons during the "hosing the pigs" war.
Quote from the "hose the pig thread"
"Rather than try to wrestle the pig into taking a bath, we are just going to hose it down. We will actively define our faith here rather than just respond to accusations.
It's been a lonnngg time since there was any attempt to "actively define" mormonism by FR mormons...instead, the mormon rhetoric has been whiny accusations and denigration of FReepers and of the FR site.....last post on the locked thread, "Yep, the favorite tool of Free Republic to work over the Mormons!"
This article about FAIR may be an explanation of why there is no attempt to "acctively define mormonism by FR mormons"....the Flying Inmans are able to produce historical facts that can't be waved away.
Sandy no one can condemn you to hell.
People go there of their own free will.
Looks like WORDS was all you got!!

OK SD, then step up to the microphone and tell us that the following is "unbecoming" as well -
When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).
Now why would I go to mormonvoices, when I can go right to lds.org and get the scoop on mormonISM without distortion and spinning.
Placemarkerith - and it came to pass...
Do you believe the following:
1) The Bible is the inspired word of God
2) Mormonism is in conflict with historic Christianity
3) It is truth that sets us free (John 8:32)
Ten important questions that need answers (please check all quotes to be sure they are correct):
1) Joseph Smith said: ..the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book. (Introduction to Book of Mormon). What are these precepts?
2) Why do the doctrines in the Book of Mormon conflict with some of the doctrines in the D&C? (i.e. Jacob 2:23-28 and D&C 132:38-39)
3) Why would a true prophet of God claim: I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. History of the Church, Vol.6, p.408-409).
4) Why did Mormonism practice blood atonement and Utah have the death penalty by firing squad for many years? (Doctrines of Salvation, Vol.1, p.136)
5) Why are some sins not covered by the blood of Jesus? (Journal of Discourses, Vol.3, p.247; Vol.4, p.219; Doctrines of Salvation, Vol.1, p.133-134)
6) How could God, the Creator, have been equal to His creation by being at one time a mere man? (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.345-346)
7) Is it necessary to have the passport of Joseph Smith in order to enter the celestial kingdom of God? (Journal of Discourses, Vol.7, p.289)
8) Is it true that Heavenly Father has a father, a grandfather, etc.? (The Seer, p.132)
9) Can anyone obtain the celestial kingdom without being perfect? (Book of Mormon Student Manual, p.303)
10) How could the law of man override the law of God in regards to polygamy? (Journal of Discourses, Vol.11, p.269)
Then why do you have a the constant refrain that people opposed to mormonISM are condemning you to hell or that even though direct quotes from lds sources about your group are called lies...hurt people - it's mormonISM that hurts people.
Prove it and we'll talk.
So far...
Nothing...
Mitt Romney is out to destroy the Consitution every bit as much as Al Qeada. "Mormon Voices" is out to spread disinformation, coverup and lies, and play the victim card just as much as CAIR.
Take your RINO flip flopper, your false prophets, your constant attacks on Christ and Christianity and your works righteous upward turned noses and beat it.
We'll meet you with the truth EVERY time you try to destroy our country with Romney, or try to dilute Christianity with your cult.
Mormon Voices...
Ironic name if there ever was one...
"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859]
Given this mormonic teaching that is the very essence of Antichrist, it is still amazing how much LDS inc apologists and liars like Saundra want folks to believe LDS inc is Christianity restored! MormonISM is the very essence of slick anti-Christ inveigling, and the promoters of this anti-Christian religion will continue to be exposed and opposed so long as Christians are not squelched by the political correctness approach inherent in the lie that exposing mormonISM is hate or hatred of the people trapped in this demonic cult.
Oh now you went and did it ejonesie
Cry HAVOC and release the crickets of obfuscation.
So what? There are ex-Catholics, and ex-Baptists, and ex-every other religion.
