@MormonsLoveFamilies You can't troll with god, you'll lose every time bro. According to the mormons, god loves all his children, but he prefers the white males, he loves them more than the gays and the females, whom although the mormons say he loves, we all know actions speak louder than words. Whether god loves me or not is irrelevant to the fact that the mormon god is a pedophile (in bishops interviews, LDS asks if they masturbate) so in other words my friends- the mormon church is BAD NEWS.
@MormonsLoveFamilies I tried the LSD church for one time in my life, it got me to see that Love still god's ME. and that your statement "god loves you" is actually backwards. Its love that gods over me I think you said. I explained this to my bishop and then he told me that I had joined the wrong church. He basically implied that LSD is for HIS type and not for me, because it had brainwashed me to confused love and god, and then I quit the church, so now I'm an ex-mormon.
Last week, we reported that 71 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) have served with the USNS Comfort's Continuing Promise 2011 mission. Our article briefly mentioned that 11 of the 71 volunteers have been on the ship for the entire five-month journey. The ship has visited nine countries throughout Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
@MormonsLoveFamilies But god's not real, he was invented by people to brainwash their kids in to being good. How can someone who isn't real love me? YOU MAKE NO SENSE MORMONS.

Isa 63:3 "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment."
Isn't Holland using this verse out of context? As the end of the verse shows - it's a reference to Jesus treading the winepress of GOD's wrath on a Christ-rejecting world in the last days. It doesn't apply to Jesus suffering, but that of those who deny Him.

@MormonsLoveFamilies On the one hand I find religions more sympathetic that teach the concept of an all-loving god as opposed to others that tell me that I,as an Atheist,will burn in hell for all eternity.On the other hand,I find the concept of an all-loving god pretty disturbing,too. Would a god who loves all his children let thousands of children starve to death in Africa alone every single day? If I was a parent and had lost a child this way, and a missionary would tell me that god loves me,

@MormonsLoveFamilies Yes, Mormons love families. But if a member of a mormon family leaves the church, the family is supposed to hate that apostate. Why? It's because the mormon church is a cult!

Over recent months I've perused several times Robert Putnam's and David Campbell's remarkable new survey of American religion, "American Grace." It is fair to say that it one of the best books on religion in America ever produced and worthy of a read.

@omiolo What about the superstition of Joe & his magic & occult practice even whilst going about plagiarizing to BoM?
Dost thou thinkest such superstition and devilation of revelation hath bearing benign but a little on that which the church today believest concerning themes grandest of this life and of that surety of life hereafter?
I refer you to the best of books, The Holy Bible, the Standard by which all other books, in God's economy, are judged.
@omiolo Thank you for attempting amidst all your toil & turmoil to maintain some semblance of civility & to articulate a rational & reasoned response. Please faith on to Jesus, okay? He cares about you watchfully & cares for you affectionately. Bye for now.
@Dalessiokiller One reason for sarcasm I surmise is because of LDS smythology... twistology of theology, sedition of addition, infusion of confusion & false witness members of the Monson movement of Moroni boastfully, blatantly bear frequently & systematically against the blessed & beloved body & bride of Christ,. Yes, that might on occasion give rise to some sarcasm...
@Shulamitefire I see you're a poet too. Here try this, you might get better responses: "But speaking the truth in LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ" Of course truth for you might mean something different to another.
@Dalessiokiller Thank you. I would lay equal emphasis on TRUTH. The LDS church bearing FALSE witness against the churches Is Not Love; it is pride & presumption. And Mormon folk wonder why they are not embraced as Christian or why in every Christian bookstore writings regarding them are found in the section designated for the cults. Even their scriptures like the JWs lie against & slander the churches. Suppose you talk to me about love manifested & demonstrated when one wants to exit Mormondom.

REXBURG, IDAHO - After another record-breaking number of graduates on April 9, BYU-Idaho continues to grow and develop as more and more students attend and graduate from the four-year university. During the commencement exercises, held in the BYU-Idaho Center on the university's campus in Rexburg, Elder Steven E. Snow of the Presidency of the Seventy shared with graduates ways to avoid stumbling blocks as they make their way into the world. . .
Faithful Mormons will gather to hear words of inspiration from their leaders Sunday, the second day of their church's semiannual general conference.
The two-day conference draws more than 100,000 to the four-block downtown Salt Lake City campus of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The event comes just days before the church marks its 181st anniversary on April 6.
Tens of thousands attended the Church's annual General Conference in Salt Lake City this weekend, but millions more watched and listened worldwide. They gathered in chapels and around computer screens, television sets and radios to listen in.
I don't like that this video is titled "the mormon Jesus" Why not just simply say Jesus? He is everyones Jesus, this same Jesus that the mormons believe in as the ones Christians believe in. He is not reserved only for those of the L.d.s or mormon faith.
We walked happily, listening to the soft noise of the crystal clear brook running alongside our path. The path was lined with beautiful green trees and sweet-scented flowers. We could hear birds singing.
On a beautiful sunny morning, I invited my almost eight-year-old granddaughter, Vicki, to walk with me near a lake, which is actually a water reservoir for our beautiful city.
There are two kinds of thirty-something North American Mormons: those who can complete the phrase, "And if you want to study a Mormon, I'm a _______"--and those who can't. If you can, chances are you were a middling-sized kid in the late seventies someplace along the Mormon corridor.
Addressing the students, faculty and community members, Elder Bednar said his purpose was to "discuss the essential connection between personal testimony and ongoing conversion."
the SCERA Center for the Arts, the film version of "Jonah," starring David Osmond as the main character, was screened recently at the LDS Film Festival.
Three men bound by a sacred bond created many years ago unleash a massive Ponzi scheme on members of the Mormon Church. It takes a young attorney, Roberto Gomes, risking his career and his life to bring down the house of cards that these three men have taken thirty years to build.
I talked to my husband and showed him articles in the Ensign and in the newspaper that cautioned about these games. But my husband felt it was OK. He said that our son wasn’t out using drugs and that I should stop worrying. There were times that I would hide the controllers, and my husband would give them back. It began to be easier for me to give in …
than to fight it. I really feel that gaming is just as addictive as drugs. I would do anything to prevent other parents from going through this experience.”
The entire LDS framework is foreign and strange to any Bible student. It's convenient that the parts that they say were "plain and precious" but that the almighty, sovereign God somehow allowed to be lost or taken from His word are the very points of contention between them and mainstream Christianity. I personally could not worship a god who was at the mercy of the whims and desires of His creations.
@omiolo the Bible doesn't teach us to have professors, but there are teachers, and I am one of them. I teach what God's word teaches, not what some church dictates to me, and not what I want it to say. I suggest that LDS people do the same.
@apologeticsman "the Bible doesn't teach us to have professors"
yet, when God told Joseph Smith that the Professors of religion were corrupt during his time, many ANTImormon EVANGELICALS use that as an excuse to ATTACK Mormon Christians. You really can NOT have it both ways.
@omiolo Ok, I misunderstood your meaning. Yes, Joseph Smith did say that all "professors" i.e. those who profess faith were an abomination. Who wouldn't be insulted and annoyed by a statement like that, especially coming from someone as obviously wicked as Smith? I think it's almost funny that LDS people (at least to your face) have softened that statement and have tried to make it seem as though what JS meant, and what they believe is that we are "missing plain parts" of the word, and --cont
@omiolo and not that we are all an abomination to God. I'll tell you what's an abomination to God, any doctrine or teaching that depletes/lessens the simple plain truth of the gospel, that all who place total and sole faith in Jesus will be saved and have passed from death to life. That is not only LDS doctrine, it is the doctrine of all Ecclocentric religious organizations, i.e. organizations that focus on the role of men in the church as supreme, while placing Jesus as an equal or lesser part
Shawn is honest, which is something Mormons could learn from. The Bible tells us that "if we acknowledge our sins, He is faithful to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, but if we say we have no sin (i.e. have not and do not sin) we are a liar, and His word is not in us" Mormons talk a lot about having to repent, but they don't talk about the fact that they continue to sin, even after repenting. Someone who claims to have licked sin is a liar. Shawn admits his faults.
you seem to be stuck on the "anti Mormon" thing, & it has become a crutch that Mormon people use to avoid the very real possibility that there are flaws in their history, doctrines & scriptures. It's easy to bite the hand that feeds you, but harder still to listen to what someone has to say. There are people out there that are motivated by things other than love when they address LDS people, but I don't think Shawn is one of them. He's telling you that we are all sinners & can't save ourselves
@apologeticsman "you seem to be stuck on the "anti Mormon" thing"
really, it seems like it is THEM that seem to be stuck on us. Especially the EVANGELICAL types, who turn a blind eye to the collapse and severe problems of their own faith so that they can ATTACK the Mormon Christians. They seem to take that radical Muslim approach.
@omiolo You make me laugh... you actually think that every Christian who walks free without the shackles of Mormon weighing & wearing them down is an E※V※A※N※G※E※L※I※C※L※E. Maybe omiolio you are an evangelical in embryo? :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
@apologeticsman "you seem to be stuck on the 'anti Mormon' thing, & it has become a crutch that Mormon people use to avoid the very real possibility that there are flaws in their history, doctrines & scriptures." Well stated, my brother in arms.
If you disagree with or have a laugh on them they say you hate them & your anti-Mormon. I'm not anti-Mormon; but I certainly am ant--Mormonism. Every healthy Christian upon discovering the Truth in the Bible & by the Holy Spirit is anti- Mormonism.
@omiolo Thanks for the laugh. Here's my question to you: Are you actually so Mormon mindwashed that you think that you are upping your chances at least a little so as to be to allowed to hang about with a Mormon god, any Mormon god, in the life hereafter ----- by your prolific copy & paste practice here on earth? Yes?
Even so, you're worth praying for those strongholds built up in your stinking thinking to come down that you may pass from darkness into life AND ENJOY KING JESUS FOREVER. :-))))
At the end of their day, Walz and Morin return to their basement apartment. Even there, though, their activities are limited.
"We don't watch TV or movies during the two years of our mission," Walz said. Morin adds: "We do live a really straight code." They spend their spare time studying the sacred texts of the LDS Church.
Elder Holland expressed his feeling that Africa had been held in reserve by the Lord in the spirit of "the last shall be first" and that Africa would someday be seen as a bright land full of gospel hope and happiness.
Accompanying Elder Holland during the dedication was Elder Snow; President Gary Packer and his wife, Sister Paula Packer, of the Democratic Republic of Congo Lubumbashi Mission; Kyubi Wakyubi Malabi, group leader for the Bujumbura Branch in Burundi, and his wife, Sister Nanjira Veronique Malabi; eight young missionaries from the Democratic Republic of Congo Lubumbashi Mission and three senior missionary couples.
At the end of the meeting, Elder David B. Haight of the Quorum of the Twelve stood up and said, "'Sisters, today you have not only opened up our eyes, but also our ears,'" recalled Sister Kapp. "'We know who is in charge.'"
Sister Kapp said looking back on that work 25 years later is rewarding. "What an exciting time this is as we celebrate the experience that we have each had in the grand work that carries on," she said.
"Each time one of our four children came into the world, it was like leaving the safe harbor and navigating the oceans in a new and marvelous adventure," Elder Costa said. "Bringing children into the world brought more responsibility to us, and it also brought great joy to our hearts."
Elder Costa spoke of his own marriage, saying that his wife had left her secure harbor as a single woman with a high position in her profession to marry him and live in a small apartment. "When the sun shone in our window in the morning, we had to leave the apartment to make room for the sunbeams to enter," he joked.
Bowers is a Mormon, and Navajo and Apache counties have high Mormon populations. Prescott-area support is critical to Republican 1st Congressional District ...
Later, however, she would travel under more favorable circumstances. Chapman told of Sister Fox's later visits to her homeland of England and to Hawaii.
Went to bed again, getting up at quarter to three a.m. and started out again making about 70 miles and reaching Vernal at 7 p.m. I'm sure our best friends would not be able to recognize us as the roads were so dusty. I thought I should never be able to quench my thirst as we found no water on the way."
Recent October conferences have been a time for the releasing of members of the Seventy — including emeritus status for departing members of the First Quorum of Seventy — as well as the announcing of new temples. Five temples were announced in each of the 2008 and 2009 October conferences.
Also, three of the church's five general auxiliary presidencies — the Primary, Sunday School and Young Men — were changed earlier this year, with the other two (Relief Society and Young Women) still within the five-year period that has been the traditional tenure of auxiliary presidencies of late.
After watching two large container trucks loaded with food from floor to ceiling from the Bellevue Washington South Stake, Dan Conlin, co-chairman of the event exclaimed, "The Emergency Feeding Program people and Northwest Harvest staff were ecstatic. They were blown away by the amount of food we collected for them in one day. The Emergency Feeding director estimated they have at least a two-month supply of food for the people they serve."
Community partners included Presbyterian, Catholic, Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran and Methodist faith groups; the American Red Cross; Rotary International, YMCA; city and town government organizations; state, county and city parks and recreation departments; neighborhood organizations, a national cemetery, Catholic Community Services; local school districts; Project Linus blankets; Hopelink, Northwest Harvest, Emergency Feeding Program and many other community food banks.
President Thomas S. Monson greets Colleen Biddulph. She served with her husband, Howard L. Biddulph, when he was called as the first president of the Ukraine Kiev Mission in 1992.
The open house began Aug. 7. During part of the time, Kyiv was gripped by record-breaking heat that on some days sent the temperature to 108 degrees F. A couple of days before the open house concluded, the weather cooled to temperatures comfortable enough for visitors to enjoy sitting on benches placed throughout the temple grounds.
"It is a very exciting time," Sister Helelyan said. She and Sister Alletto had only a moment to reply to Church News questions because visitors had begun to crowd around their table.
Sister Anahit Helelyan of Armenia and Sister Amy Alletto of Parker, Colo., are on hand to answer visitors questions during Kyiv Ukraine Temple open house.

In a nation that once prided itself on its Judeo-Christian heritage, one out of every five Americans now claims no religious identity whatsoever; and the number of self-proclaimed Christians has declined by a whopping 15%.
Yes, those who believe in nothing seem to be winning more and more converts every year.
The superstition of atheism

@omiolo What about the superstition of Joe & his magic & occult practice even whilst going about plagiarizing to BoM?
Dost thou thinkest such superstition and devilation of revelation hath bearing benign but a little on that which the church today believest concerning themes grandest of this life and of that surety of life hereafter?
I refer you to the best of books, The Holy Bible, the Standard by which all other books, in God's economy, are judged.

@Shulamitefire Why do all "real Christians" that like Shawn Mc what's his name have to be sarcastic?
Dalessiokiller 9 months ago
@Dalessiokiller One reason for sarcasm I surmise is because of LDS smythology... twistology of theology, sedition of addition, infusion of confusion & false witness members of the Monson movement of Moroni boastfully, blatantly bear frequently & systematically against the blessed & beloved body & bride of Christ,. Yes, that might on occasion give rise to some sarcasm...

@Shulamitefire I see you're a poet too. Here try this, you might get better responses: "But speaking the truth in LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ" Of course truth for you might mean something different to another.
Dalessiokiller 9 months ago
@Dalessiokiller Thank you. I would lay equal emphasis on TRUTH. The LDS church bearing FALSE witness against the churches Is Not Love; it is pride & presumption. And Mormon folk wonder why they are not embraced as Christian or why in every Christian bookstore writings regarding them are found in the section designated for the cults. Even their scriptures like the JWs lie against & slander the churches. Suppose you talk to me about love manifested & demonstrated when one wants to exit Mormondom.

The entire LDS framework is foreign and strange to any Bible student. It's convenient that the parts that they say were "plain and precious" but that the almighty, sovereign God somehow allowed to be lost or taken from His word are the very points of contention between them and mainstream Christianity. I personally could not worship a god who was at the mercy of the whims and desires of His creations.

@omiolo Ok, I misunderstood your meaning. Yes, Joseph Smith did say that all "professors" i.e. those who profess faith were an abomination. Who wouldn't be insulted and annoyed by a statement like that, especially coming from someone as obviously wicked as Smith? I think it's almost funny that LDS people (at least to your face) have softened that statement and have tried to make it seem as though what JS meant, and what they believe is that we are "missing plain parts" of the word, and --cont

@omiolo and not that we are all an abomination to God. I'll tell you what's an abomination to God, any doctrine or teaching that depletes/lessens the simple plain truth of the gospel, that all who place total and sole faith in Jesus will be saved and have passed from death to life. That is not only LDS doctrine, it is the doctrine of all Ecclocentric religious organizations, i.e. organizations that focus on the role of men in the church as supreme, while placing Jesus as an equal or lesser part

Shawn is honest, which is something Mormons could learn from. The Bible tells us that "if we acknowledge our sins, He is faithful to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, but if we say we have no sin (i.e. have not and do not sin) we are a liar, and His word is not in us" Mormons talk a lot about having to repent, but they don't talk about the fact that they continue to sin, even after repenting. Someone who claims to have licked sin is a liar. Shawn admits his faults.

you seem to be stuck on the "anti Mormon" thing, & it has become a crutch that Mormon people use to avoid the very real possibility that there are flaws in their history, doctrines & scriptures.

There are people out there that are motivated by things other than love when they address LDS people, but I don't think Shawn is one of them.
