I tried to be a Mormon

[_Scottie]

The sales force(a.k.a. missionary program) does not care if people actually believe in it, their main goal is baptism. Let the local ward convert them.

I hate that this is so true. Quite disgusting, in my opinion.

If the members were living the gospel, there would be no need for a missionary force. So essentially, half of B&L's comment is correct. The local ward should be doing the converting.

But... after the fresh wet converts were dumped on the ward? This is quite common.

I'm very happy to recollect that that shoe doesn't fit me!

A zero baptizing mission?

A zero baptizing mission?

No. The shoe may indeed have fit others in my mission, just not me personally.

No. Missionaries would not be needed. Converts wouldn't need to be convinced; they'd be coming to us, instead of us going to them. The ward would do the teaching and the baptising. Fellowshipping would be natural, as converts would be friends already. Of course, this would require the leadership to change their focus from the external (missionary work) to the internal (perfecting the Saints), so we know this will never happen. Because they're all about blaming the external instead of taking responsibility for their own failures.

In your opinion, is the LDS church just another christian based religion and not the ONLY divine church of god as it claims?

[_Daniel Peterson]

Self righteous little man. You look rather tall atop that Rameumtum of yours.

LOL. As usual, the hostile reaction to me on this thread is wildly disproportionate to anything I actually said here.

This is a very funny place.

Sacrament meetings with three children are too stressful. I can't say I've taken anything of value away from the meetings. I don't feel like a better person or mother.

Sounds like your a rather fragile person. I've seen moms with more kids than that handle it just fine. Often. Ever try Ritalin?

All of my so called friends I can live without.

Might this be mutual?

I could never get anyone to open up to me. I think they are afraid for anyone to know they aren't really perfect.

Yeah right...

No one gives a rats ass. They ask, "is there anything I can do for you?" in the same manner Burger king asks if you want Fries or a coke with that.

Well, its pretty bad if they won't give you a rat's ass. I've got tons on my 4.2 acres, and you can have as many as you like. See, all Mormons aren't beasts.

I don't want to wear funky underwear.

I've always thought of them as a little more Motown, but that's just me.

I don't want my peers in my financial business.

Whatever that means, I'll take your word for it.

I don't want my children to have the stress.

Ritalin Ritalin Ritalin!

I don't think there is anything evil about coffee or tea.

Could you show me a scriptural reference or GA teaching where this is taught?

I am drinking a big glass of sweet tea right now.

I'm drinking a gallon of water in a plastic jug from Wal-Mart

I am done.

For any of you who don't know, this is the LDS discussion board equivalent of what Rush Limbaugh terms a seminar caller. They come by here now and then and stir the pot. Is, or was this person ever even a LDS? Only the Shadow knows...
