The Threat of New Order Mormons

[Guest]

"My concern in this post is the true blue Mormon. Are new order Mormons justified in being hesitant to come out to them? While some saints will be welcoming and loving of all people who want to be affiliated with the church in any capacity, I think a great deal of regular saints feel threatened by new order Mormons, and as a result have less than charitable reactions."

Are there any N.O. Mormons here, or is this forum basically Mormon hanger-ons who have a high opinion of their humor (or supposed intellect) and just like to goof around plus a few real Mormons who actually are "near TBMs" ?

If there are any N.O. Mormons here, I'd like to know if they believe in an actual God - and is their concept of God more closely aligned to the Christian view of an Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient God Who is Spirit, or the Mormon god who appears to be some kind of exalted human being from another planet (if you read Joseph Smith).

I'm wondering if Mormonism is undergoing any kind of transition in its theology (other than some kind of higher textual criticism placing God in the category of an Edomite deity), and is there a movement toward embracing a move orthodox view of Deity? There seems to be a new move to minimize the whole "exaltation" doctrine TBMs have so long cherished!

So, basically we can eliminate anything you have to post right off the bat since you believe you are humorous! Got new for you, you won't be doing a night club act any time soon....not to mention that the term "erotic" should probably be switched to "laconic."

If you're hearing voices you should probably seek help.

Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad--stopped that tripping (reading JSJr) decades ago.

Obviously, we're a pretty bad bunch, here. Maybe Servant (clever and appropriate name) could find a board that better meets his requirements.

I would hate to think that Servant was wasting his time with the likes of us.

Our doctrine is the orthodox view of Deity.

There seems to be a new move to minimize the whole "exaltation" doctrine TBMs have so long cherished!

No evidence of that whatsoever.

I'm generally not inclined to reveal my personal beliefs to someone who, for whatever reason, wants to whack me upside the head with a dogmatic checklist.
