Seriously, you have some major reading comprehension issues....no wonder most CRITICS take you task. Maybe go back and read your own words before responding to "us" CRITICS...elohim, you are slow....

That's certainly debatable. One is probably not going to be called a Mormon if they accept the gospel after this life. Therefore it is not reasonable to assume as you did here.

So being baptized by proxy isn't receiving the Holy Ghost? I guess I never thought of it that way, ya only need the Holy Ghost when you are alive. Duh, how could I not have thought about that before! Thank you stemelbow spotlighting another Mormon contradiction for me!


I didn't say what you thought I said, it seems. baptism is a two fold dealio--one is baptism by water the other by fire.
Love ya tons,

settle down. I'm asking whose the "us" you wish me to report to? You weren't very clear. Is it the "us" in the us vs them mentality that is paramount among many of the critics here? I need clarification if I'm supposed to help you.

So the technicality you're getting hung up on here is the name "Mormon" being used for those baptized into the Church here and in the hereafter.

So baptism by proxy isn't baptism by water for those that are dead?

Yea buffalo, i completely agree with the stem...if you havent cheated on your wife, feel free to feel the comfort of "moral" superiority that you deserve if you are comparing your life and your relationship to that of polygamy Joe's...I think most of us can feel comfort in the fact that we are better people than a child marrying adulterer....

I'm not hung up. just like to be clear, so as to not find myself trying to argue with people about something I did not mean--it happens all too often here. Trying my bes to convenience ya all.

I don't think your question, with its premise, makes any sense based on what i said. but be my guest to re-explain if you care.

Of course...that's been established. Anyeone can feel comfort if they wish to assume they are better than others. I've seen it since grade school, as I said.

Yea, sorry for expecting you to have the reading comprehension and critical thinking skills of an average 9th grader....I will try not to get upset when you prove unable to carry on an adult conversation (like most lds defenders here...). Again, the day you start actually challenging "US", let me know...currently, you are the perfect stooge for intelligent critics, not that i am complaining....

Agreed...anyone that can manage not to cheat on their wife should feel "comfort" that they are a better person than someone who can't keep it in his pants and destroys that trust (like Joe)...Interesting that we agree on that one...
