I agree--Mormon parenting itself isn't "brainwashing."

Taking little kids up to the podium, whispering into their ears, and having them parrot "I know this church is twoo" definitely is brainwashing.

And I will personally vouch for the fact that harmony is definitely NOT charity. Charity's posts are infinitely more simplistic and canned.

I'm not so sure, Shades. However, even if it does fit the standard for brainwashing, the practice has been addressed from the pulpit in general conference and is actively discouraged.

And I will personally vouch for the fact that harmony is definitely NOT charity. Charity's posts are infinitely more simplistic and canned.


Thank you, my friend. I personally cannot think of anyone I could be compared with that would appal me more completely than Charity.

Well here we go again pulling out our brains and degrees to say who can correct who???

Harmony I apologize if I insulted you by assuming you are CHARITY from FAIR.
But with all of your degrees and all you are still unable to even view what is being posted on FAIR.
I at least have figured out how to clean out my cookies and at least am able to view the posts on FAIR
.

We will put a star on your forhead so you feel better.

and don't you ever, ever question my PARENTING SKILLS again do you understand this???


Harmony did this exactly where?

I am surprised that with all of your alleged degrees that you failed to see how parenting and BRAINWASHING and Mormons are closley linked



The point is this. All parents teach something. Usually whatever their world view is. Mormons, Atheists, Catholics, Baptists, etc. They all teach what they believe. It is not brainwashing, though it may be indoctrination. For whatever illogical reason you seem to think it an awful thing for Mormons to do this.

Mormons do not keep their children away from other non Mormon children for the most part. And in most the world where LDS live, since they are the minority, this is impossible to do. Maybe when your venomous hate is out of your system you can post rational instead of irrational thoughts.

Well okay now Mr. Bourne that cannot outside of UTAH you are right about that one.

Inside of UTAH that can and does happen because there are many more Mormons to be "friends" with so naturally they can be exclusive to who they chocse to be friends with.

Jason, I want that STAR on my forehead, will you put it there????

Harmony maybe you need to stop making dinner and study some more and learn how to trepass on thier "property" why are you giving FAIR so much power over you????

I think you are the one that needs to get a backbone and stand up to these idiots, If you say that you single-handedly responsible for the downfall of the LDS-church. Why are you so afraid of trespassing, I am pretty sure that they will not be at your door to arrrest you for trespassing???
I don't see any do not trespass signs on thier site, banning someone's IP address is not a sign.
The Internet is a public domain my dear. You have free and equal acess to anything that is out there.

Harmony you said that I fail to see the difference between brainwashing and parenting and that I did not know or could tell the difference????

I have been a parent for let me see now 29 years, how long have you parented???
I don't give a damn about your degress, I want experience in this matter my dear!!!!!
don't throw out your degress and student loans as proof you can parent.
Through out some knowledge that you can and have been a responsible parent with your words and writings.

JASON
are you even a PARENT???
Let me know and then we will talk until SHUT-UP
When I wake up I will be hungry....but this feels so good right now aaahhhhhh........

Simple: dinner is important to me; FAIR isn't.

I think you are the one that needs to get a backbone and stand up to these idiots, If you say that you single-handedly responsible for the downfall of the LDS-church.


Actually, I don't say that. That's what Daniel said about me. Personally, I think he was just giving one of his backhanded compliments.

I tend to respect people's decisions to ban me, even when I don't agree with it, coffeecat. Backbone has nothing to do with it; I don't go where I'm not wanted. And to be quite honest, FAIR simply isn't that important to me. Virtually all of the people I enjoyed while I was there are here with me.

Harmony you said that I fail to see the difference between brainwashing and parenting and that I did not know or could tell the difference????

My oldest son is 34. My youngest son is 21. Six men, two women. All college graduates or currently attending, all gainfully employed, six married, four in the temple, four returned missionaries, four with children, one serving his country in the National Guard. One computer consultant, one computer engineer, one chemical engineer, one teacher, one member of law enforcement, one salesman, one librarian, and one recreation specialist. I know a bit about parenting, yes.

If you fail to see the difference between brainwashing and parenting, I suggest you brush up on brainwashing (which if you go back and read the whole comment, is what I suggested the last time too. I see you still haven't done it), not parenting. I assumed you knew about parenting, although perhaps that was a WAG on my part.

I don't give a damn about your degress, I want experience in this matter my dear!!!!!


And I, for my part, don't much care what you want. Go figure.

don't throw out your degress and student loans as proof you can parent.


I didn't. I threw them out as proof that I knew what brainwashing was. I've yet to see you demonstrate a similiar knowledge base.

Through out some knowledge that you can and have been a responsible parent with your words and writings.


See above. Most people, in and out of the church, consider me to have accomplished an incredible feat, that all my children are responsible productive citizens. I'm sure you have similiar experiences.

Sure it is natural there but I think rarely intentional.

Jason, I want that STAR on my forehead, will you put it there????



Sure if you wish

Yes dear, I am a parent for at least 24 years.

So, can I speak now?

Okay Harmony
Here goes with my list of whatever.

I have a gay 29 year old son that graduated from NYU, Sterns. He was one of a few that actually qualified for a scholarship.
He went through college in three years instead of four and worked part-time at JP Morgan while he was in college.
He lives in Manhattan and is probably worth like a million dollars, he has financed my return to college, I will graduate in 2008 with my BA degree.
My middle son is 21 and also currently in college he will graduate in 2008 as well with a degree in Computer Science.
My youngest is still in High school so who knows about him, but he will probably go and get his degree in LAW in some field.

None of my son's were allowed to go on a mission had they even wanted to.
No obviously my GAY son would not be married in the temple and I have no grandchildren as of yet, but hopefully I will soon from my GAY son. Oh my GOD.
My 21 yearold is not married he is in college and his education will come first, then marriage, but of course he can have all the sex he chooses to have because he has not been brainwashed that sex before marriage is wrong and immoral.
By the way he is not dating anyone right now so he is not getting any sex right now.

And yes we came from UTAH and relocated to MD. So yes my son's were around you Mormons and yes they were kept from associating with Mormons.

Of course you will never see the connection between brainwashing and parenting, you have already proven that HARMONY.
Oh yes you do care what I want, you answered my question so you do care.
LOL

Yes you care about FAIR because you keep bringing up the fact you were banned, well maybe that was to prove you were not CHARITY, but I am doubtful even now.
When I wake up I will be hungry....but this feels so good right now aaahhhhhh........
