Is it healthy for a TBM spouse to "drop it" or "let it go?"

[_zeezrom]

I have a better idea. What not ask what would Peter do? And then lie to them. I like that better. Everyone lies...that is just a fact. Even Peter lied to save his own skin and he knew Christ and saw Christ do miracles. Go figure. Imagine if Joe did that? Human beings are human beings.

I plan to ask, "What would Zee do." and leave it at that. All the men claiming to hear voices from God can go to TK.

I was going to say go to hell but that is really harsh so I will just stick with the TK. Really takes the sting out of it though.

Well, try to ignore the fact that their founders had folks burned at the stake. But no matter. We love the Methodists in our town.

yes, lets overlook that fact. And what about the indians? And how did they treat the Mormons among them? Not to good I suppose.

And to pile on further with Why Me's thought:

Peter received a revelation three times to take the Gospel to the Gentiles, but a the Jerusalem conference in which Paul attended for the first time as an apostle, Peter refused to eat with the Gentiles. Paul called Peter a "false brother."

Then there's Solomon, receiving revelations to build the temple while, at the same time, letting his wives maintain their pagan fertility shrines.

Then there's the apostles jostling for position as to who's first and who's second, with somebody's mom intervening.

Yes, lets overlook that fact and keep the focus on Joseph Smith. Lets pretend that all was perfect with the early church and no racism or injustice existed. And lets forget that Christ expected Peter to be imperfect when he predicted that peter would deny him three times. And what about paul...much is made of Joseph's money digging and yet, paul was a persecutor of christians before his calling. I would choose a money digger anyday over a christian persecutor. But god does pick strange people, doesn't he?

This is no different than any other religion. Husband marries wife and both are faithful in religion, one drops out and the other gets desperate. That isn't unique to Mormonism and it is a canard to bust its chops for that.

And defending poor behavior from by the only true church by pointing to behavior of the other false churches helps you how?

"Fostering a culture." Boy, you've fallen far.

Perhaps. Christ is my judge however not you. Best read the New Testament a bit more on this one.

Simply, act according to your beliefs. Don't be deceptive about your beliefs. Simple rule of conduct.

Ok. For some that works for others it does not.

Those who are deceptive are going to be assigned to an eternal hell of burning and torment.

I thought Mormons don't believe in hell of burning torment.

On the other hand Paul says a believing spouse should stay with the non believing spouse.

Exactly where does Paul counsel a non-believer to fake his belief for the sake of the marriage?

Did I say he did?

Yahoo Bot and Why Me,

Gentlemen, you are so wise. I would never have though that other churches would have faults and made mistakes. Gosh, I guess my assumption that only the LDS church makes mistakes was really naïve. I'm glad that you two have shown me the error of my ways.

And, you really did me a favor by informing me that there are examples of bad behavior in the Bible. I'm pretty darned ignorant of the Bible, so I'm doubly glad you both pointed that out. That will save me a lot of embarrassment in the future, as I have repeatedly claimed otherwise in the past.

Do you both hold theological seminars? I'd like to take an extended class from you guys, imagine what I could learn there!

If you'd like, I can give you my email address and we can carry on your education behind the scenes. I'm glad that you're coming around to get out of the cesspool you are in.

This signature line is looking for its next person to provoke. Will it be you?

Now that is pretty funny Mr.Bot.

Classic example of God intervening to correct Peter. Doesn't bode well for those who believe the priesthood ban was a mistake.

Please post it here on the board. If you could also, would you please post your bank account number and routing number, I'd like to directly wire you some money as an advance for your training. Please post Mr Why Me's email address, bank account number, and bank routing number as well, it's only fair he gets equal treatment.
