Permanently Banned from LDS.Net

[_Kishkumen]

At least your retort wasn't pretentious.

Yeah, well, being pretentious in earnest is tedious. What I do is have fun. You are free to ignore it if you like.

All I know is that I once gave a discussion in my ward about use of the internet as a Gospel tool. There was an excellent article linked through that site in some way, but to use it meant I would have to make reference to the site. I absolutely knew that some members who might have wavering testimonies in one way or another might access the site. So I did not use the article.

I feel I wasted too much time over there anyway. I was tired of getting bashed for being LDS but trying to show how science and psychology come into play when dealing with a variety of social issues. Oh, and I really still believe that obesity is a major threat to people's health today, and that it is a sign that one is not following the spirit of the Word of Wisdom -- but I guess unless someone says something in conference about it then it is not really an issue to worry about.

We don't have failed prophecy now. Now we have NO prophecy whatsoever.

Haha. Hey Thews, not sure what you mean here but the thing is, there are some issues that I guess you should not bring up to certain LDS people. I ran afoul of some there when I said the Church should address the issue of obesity more. I mean, how many members are unable to serve old-people missions when they die of heart attacks in their 50s or 60s due to obesity? What kind of image to members give off if they are carrying a year of food storage on their waistline yet will give talks on treating the body as a temple?

And while I am not a fan of pornography I got jumped on more than once trying to point out that it is a mis-use of the word "addiction" to say that all people who look at porn occasionally are addicted.

A type you all find acceptable, I imagine.

I take your continued participation as being acceptable to it as well. I noticed you haven't been banned yet, which says a lot about lack of censorship.

There have been people banned here.

What makes this place any different than the hated "other" board. There's censorship and [Mod: censored to delete personal attacks] and bannings.

Now I add that I have been repeatedly admonished over my faux moderator comments. My form of sarcasm and finger pointing at hypocrisy isn't well liked here.

However, I have also gone on record thanking the mods for their commitment and effort and interest in free speech as far as it goes here. That I don't get along with one of them, who inanely dogs me with claims of kicking my ass, doesn't change my opinion.

You have to do a lot to get banned here, unlike over at the "other" board.

I wasn't aware you hated the "other" board. :)

Bannings are the most severe form of censorship and Madb likes to do them for some insignificant infractions, and in some cases where no infractions occurred. I hardly ever see them delete personal attacks here from both sides. So if they do it must have been a bad one.

Now I add that I have been repeatedly admonished over my faux moderator comments. My form of sarcasm and finger pointing at hypocrisy isn't well liked here.

Maybe by some. I haven't noticed to many that worry about your form of sarcasm and finger pointing. When it comes to hypocrisy I see it from a few from both sides.

I'm still waiting for you to back up your claim that I'm a liar. What post was that?

Maybe you are for Thews. I haven't followed that. If you are referring to me we both know I have already provided it, and it is a derail from this thread. Try to keep on the issue at hand.

As is typical of Mormon apologists who lie, they continue to state the same things repeatedly in the hopes the opponent will give up. This is the last time I’m going to point this out to Yahoo Bot.

It really is impossible to say that there is "no" evidence for the Book of Mormon.

When you claimed it was “impossible” that there is no evidence for the Book of Mormon, you refused to state what evidence you claimed supported its historicity. You said this after Simon Belmont made this claim which he’s failed to back up.

You see, it is statements like these which confirm my already made judgement that you are nothing more than a bigot, attacking that which he does not understand in the slightest. You know absolutely nothing if you think there is no evidence to support Mormonism.

You see Yahoo Bot? Do you see in the above two statements where claims are made that evidence exists to support the historicity in Mormonism? If you had evidence, then you’d link it. You don’t have any evidence that doesn’t fall apart immediately and that’s because it doesn’t exist, which is why you and Simon can’t quote it, but resort to posting a link to Mormon-spun BS that makes claims which are not supported by actual evidence. If you'd like to back up your claims that actual evidence exists, please start a thread about it and we'll take a good hard look at it. If not, then you are making claims you can't back up, which is why I'm calling you a liar.
