Hi, Dave - It does no good to argue with the anti Mormons/anti MormonISM folk on this site. Their tactics are designed to dog-pile pick pick pick and employ silly boyish arguments that have no basis in truth or even logic. But they are legion here on this site. Actually there are only a few but they have nothing better to do in life, apparently, than hang around FR day and night spreading their venomous ignorant ill-conceived thoughts. They seem more powerful than they really are - it’s just that they are persistant to the point of being obsessive compulsive.
I was banned from this site for about a year because I am a Mormon and/or because I supported Mitt. And I was one of the original FReepers - since 1998, having freeped along side Jim Robinson himself many many times. I have been in his car, in his house, and considered him a dear friend. But this obsession with hating Mormons and hating Romney have been his undoing. This site has gone to the dogs.
Cheer up, Elsie, maybe you can get me banned again for saying what is in my heart.
Sandy see post 453 where it was explained that you stated you wanted out...you were NOT banned for being a mormon.
Now that the truth is out about this, will you retract your claim?
This is the type of double-brained thinking we get from Mormons like Saundra.
She's indecisive even within a phrase of 13 words! What are we, Sandy? Legion? Or just a few?
Other examples:
* Saundra AWOLed from her Christian past and bounced to Mormonism...more indecisiveness...
* She has indicated she'd like to "get along" with Christians, but her religion tells us that Mormonism is the "only true & living church on the face of the earth" (D&C 1:30)...hence, she comes across as ambivalent about that, too...Apparently, she'd like to take her "scriptures" (like that one) at face value, but then if she did, she'd have to concede that she thinks the rest of the churches are false & dead. And that's not a "value" that contributes to genuine ecumenicalism, now is it?
* It seems like she wants to "get along" with Christians, but her religion tells us that Mormonism deems all Christians as "apostates." Hence, she seems ambivalent about that, too...She'd like to take her leaders' assessments (like that one) at face value, but then, if she did, she knows she'd be no better than the Muslims who accuse Christians of being all "infidels."
* It seems like she wants to "get along" with Christians, but her religion (First Vision, Joseph Smith History, Pearl of Great Price, vv. 18-20) tells us that Smith deemed 100% of Christians from Christian sects as "corrupt"...She'd like to take Smith at his "first vision" word, but then, if she did, she knows that places Mormons in the accusation business of labeling all Christian sect representatives as "corrupt" -- and that all of us embrace creeds that Smith deemed 100% an "abomination."
* Saundra thinks a LOT of Billy Graham, especially now that his Web site removed Mormonism as a cult...But if she's always thought so highly of Billy, then she also must have respected what he had FOR YEARS on his site: That Mormonism was a cult! (Billy only removed it for political expedience in October; and now that Mitt has flamed out, we might get it back on his site again!)
So, Saundra, I'd guess that you respected Billy Graham well before October 2012...So that must have included his long-standing opinions of Mormonism. Right? Or are you ambivalent on that, too?

Not to worry, for it is MUCH better for the cause to have you here; typing what is in your head.
