We've already discussed an interview with two cult teens who received a spiritual confirmation that they were supposed to sleep with their leader (who they said was god).
So much for spiritual confirmations.
Ahh... I see. However the confirmations of some of these women were quite powerful. Not the standard warming of the bossom. And these confirmations came after a while...after the women orginally said no. And these women were not slackers and weak. Strong frontier women who would probably kick your butt around the block, if they found out you called them brainwashed in a cult.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

Now just you should be nice to me. We do have the same last name.
It is unfortunate that you and other women tend to dumbdown these women who were sealed to Joseph Smith. They were not so dumb or gullible.

You must live in utah. I feel sorry for zee. He seems to ignore the faith promoting aspects of LDS history. And as Don will show during his FAIR presentation, the critic understanding of the kinderhook plates may be overturned. But that will have no effect on zee.
No, never lived in Utah or anywhere close. The difference between you and me is that I am a Mormon (formerly believing, now unbelieving). Apparently you never were any kind of Mormon at all.

Oh yes, same last name. (((cyberhugs)))
The problem is that YOU believe that victims of abuse are "dumb or gullible." I do not believe that at all. Victims are not responsible for the abuse they endure. It makes me sad and angry that you think so low of victims of abuse.

Ditto for these cultists.
These frontier women WERE brainwashed, and they were in a cult. They didn't have very many options. I feel sorry for them.

This is not true. I received a very powerful witness to the Book of Mormon and so I can understand a strong spiritual confirmation. It certainly was no warm fuzzy. And I can not deny that witness. But whether one can walk the walk that is a different matter.

Even Droopy doesn't recognize your concept of what Mormonism is.
I'm glad you were able to convince yourself that magic is real. I guess it didn't help, though, did it? I mean, the Book of Mormon says that your current church is the church of the devil.

No! Droopy doesn't recognize my concept of Mormonism? No way!I am devastated.
I didn't need convincing. It happened. End of story. If it didn't happen I would have high tailed it away from Mormonism faster than you can say lickitysplit. But...I experienced the confirmation just as these women did. And that made all the difference.
