What they don't like is "racist" baiting.

That is where you ask a BYU professor to explain the reason for the priesthood ban.

Thank you! I was baffled by the misuse of the term.

Typical Mormon goon remark from Nemesis there.

The remark is not even typical Mormon.

BCspace was just banned for saying this to Daniel Peterson....

DCP Quote:
The timing of the lifting of the ban was divinely appointed. The ban itself. "We don't know".


BCspace:
There is no such statement. The current statement is:

"It is not known precisely why, how or when this restriction began in the Church, but it has ended."

There is nothing to preclude the OD2 or Topical Statements etc. teaching the ban's Divine appointment.


Nemisis:
We have had enough. You are done in this thread.


How can you get a more perfect example of this of the outright immoral FASCISM that is occurring by the Moderators of MA&DB?
This is absolutely shameful.
Just because BCspace dared give a "contrary" opinion, that makes it a bannable offence?
Just like I was banned simply because I asked someone to not cause problems, to not pick a fight just so I wouldn't be banned, yet I get banned for it.

I really wish the good Mormons over there would start paying attention to the utterly uncalled for fascist acts of the Mods there and say something about it. There are legit instances of thread banning, such as what Lightbearer did, and he wondered why he was banned. He did cross a line. But I nor BCspace above crossed a line, and yet we were banned for it.

You want everyone to be banned?
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

"A good way to define it is as using racial topics in a manner to score polemical points and in a way of manipulating race topics for personal/political gain."

I have been baffled for some time what people using the phrase "race baiting" might be meaning. I had thought it meant making threatening reference to race in a potential confrontation. An example would be a white person finding his way into a primarily black neighborhood hearing groups of individuals saying hey there whitey,cracker. That would be race baiting. It could be aimed at other sorts of groups or situations.

That sort of definition is being replaced by use meaning something like referencing race in a way which somebody views as politially incorrect. I suppose the purpose of this switch in meaning is to deflect the original charged meaning into suppression of discussion of race relations.

Touch'e.....

If it wasn't a message board and was real life people could ban together and express their grievances.

What we need is someone who has many peoples personal contact information, or maybe a current member with the information and try to get it organized.

Someone needs to collect and provide the evidence of the serious problem to the members and then a time needs to be agreed upon in which the entire group posts in a thread in support of the motion.

Although, sadly because it's online, I don't think people will put the same effort into it.

Holy smokes.... they banned BC, for being correct?

At least he is consistent about the definition of doctrine.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

That's right. As I said before, I put my money where my mouth is. I'm not going to lie to you about doctrine and if I am mistaken, show me where and I'll believe you.

Being consistent with the Church's definition of doctrine has allowed me to stay out of troubling binds that others seem to fall into on a regular basis.
