Take off your shoes and wash your feet! Lay a curse at my doorstep!
When are you going to use your real powers? Your holy mantels of circumcised penishoods!
Oh, and sorry Charity and Liz, you haven’t got a penis which means you have no power - so get back to the kitchen where you belong and make me a sammich.
I’m waiting and I’m not interested in your excuses. :)
I think posts like this perpetuate the use of the term Anti-Mormon with those that are outspoken with their criticism of Mormonism.
I also think it crosses that delicate line between polemics and antagonism.

You are such a little boy.
Feh, your curse is ineffective. Can you try again please? I didn't even cough or sneeze with that pathetic attempt.
And you are in desperate need of help. Really. Your overly obsessive about the Church you now love to hate. GET HELP FAST!
There are members of your household who are believers, who don't go along with your program, and pray for your repentence. They are interceding on your behalf just as Lot interceded for Sodom.

Ya know, I could never really buy into this line of thinking. Are human/God interactions primarily just about who has the bigger, more powerful prayer?

While tracting, we walked up to a doorstep and before we could get to the bell this guy comes rushing out screaming obscenities about Mormons. So we just turned around and walked away. However, that morning, we had studied the New Testament section where Christ tells his disciples to do as you described. So as we approached the gate to the yard, we looked at each other, bent over to hands about knee high, made some dusting motions, said "Naw, better not.", straightened up and went on our way.
As we tracted back up the other side of the street, an ambulance pulls up lights flashing, and as we watch, this same dude is wheeled out and one of the EMTs is pounding on his chest.......
Yep. Absolutely sure. Of course since you didn't finish the ritual, you can't take the credit.
You seem cursed enough already. No need to complete the ritual on you.

My post was antagonistic?
No, really?
I'll always cross the line with Mormonism and show it no respect. I don't give a damn about being called an anti, an apostate, and whatever other names that Mormon Cult members can come up with. Nothing within Mormonism is sacred to me and never will be - and I will expose every inch of it. If I can keep people from joining this all encompassing Cult then I have done my job.

Why BC, because you and I don't agree? Because I left your Cult and became an "Apostate" ?
Don't you just wish all Ex-Mormons would just... Go away? Or as MAAD puts it... Shut up and sing?
Blixa wrote:I recently ran across an interesting incident of priesthood cursing in the Abraham H. Cannon diary where a combined group of Mormon leaders made an effort to have Robert N. Baskin made blind. (Baskin's career as a relentless foe of Utah theocracy began when his friend Dr. John King Robinson was murdered. He prosecuted John D. Lee and played a role in many of the trials associated with the violence of the Mormon reformation as well as being actively involved in anti-polygamy legislation. He later served as state supreme court chief justice and as mayor of SLC built the first modern water and sewage system, among other highlights of a long and interesting gentile life.)
23 December 1889, "this is the anniversary of the Prophet Joseph Smith's birthday and has been set apart as a day of fasting and prayer for all the Saints throughout the church...At 10 a.m. met at the Gardo House with Presidents Woodruff, Cannon and smith; Apostles John H. Smith, H.J. Grant and John W. Taylor; Counselors J.W. Young and D.H. Wells. All but the two latter dressed in their temple robes. We then kneeled down, and, commencing with Bro. Wells, each of us prayed until Pres. Woodruff had his turn. Bro. Jos. F. was strongest in his prayer and urged that Baskin should be made blind, deaf and dumb unless he would repent of his wickedness. In this prayer we all kneeled with our faces in."
LOL, this is great. I love reading REAL Mormon history from their own diaries.

Seriously, I doubt that very many priesthood holders really, totally believe in their hearts that they have that kind of power. I don't think I ever really believed it 100%, the stories and missionary legends notwithstanding (and that Primary song that said "I might be greater than a king, for I am a Mormon boy" -- wonder if they still sing that one).
