My treatment on CAF was one of bashing, mocking, calling me a liar as you have done on this board etc too. And trust me it was rather vicious toward me. CAFers was certainly aggressive toward me too.


What else do you call someone who lies? You made statements and then denied them even after quotes were given showing you made those exact statements and your banning was a direct result of your lying. You know lying is the reason you were banned you just want to pretend otherwise.

I guess it is hard for someone from the catholic board to understand. The language on the catholic board toward other faiths is terrible and uncatholic. If MDD posters would use such language about the catholic church, the catholic posters on CAF would be outraged complete with accusing the Mormons of lacking love for neighbor and teaching its members to hate other faiths.


What's hard for me to understand is why it is okay for posters on MD&D to use language that is terrible, cruel, mocking and downright unchristian towards people posting on the board if they don't accept the views of say Hamblin, Schryver or Phahoran. People on MD&D are just mean and like the bumper sticker says "mean people suck" .

:lol: My point. Here you are calling me a liar here, calling me a liar on CAF....etc. etc. etc. No one wanted to believe that I have priests and nuns who are friends of mine and who I have spent time with. Now of course, the missionaries of charity get transferred to different areas, so I have met quite a few. But still I am involved with them. But café has a difficult time with this. Give it a rest café. At that time on CAF there was too much hatred toward Mormons and Mormons. It wasn't many people actually. But they controlled all Mormon discussions.

And this accusation of calling someone a liar is uncatholic when there is no proof that I do not know nuns and priests.

Try being a Mormon on CAF. :biggrin: The catholics on MDD do quite well as can be seen on the catholic thread that is now on that board. No one is calling the pope false, no one is mocking the catholic faith etc. No one is bashing their doctrine. It is very christlike actually. But on CAF well...

Here is one poster who is catholic from CAF:

I think for the most part people are baptized Mormon based on emotion, like being convinced to buy a new car for more money than you intend. A lot of people have "buyer's remorse" after such a purchase. The interesting thing about buyer's remorse, is that the psychological reaction can be to further justify the rash decision, out of embarrassment, humiliation, or other feelings surrounding being had. Convince yourself and others that it was a rational decision, rather than an emotional one.

:rolleyes:

Now I must say that some catholics are taking the more negative posters to task now. And I am very happy to see this. The Romney/Ryan ticket is very helpful in this. Catholics are seeing the Mormons in a more positive light as they see Mitt as a good family man who stands by his wife through her illnesses. And see his family life as stable. And with Ryan working with Romney in peace and harmony with no religious divisions.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it's a duck.

Same thing with liars....cough....cough.

You're still hanging out with these imaginary priests and nuns I see. Are these the same ones that tell you it is OK to received communion in a Catholic Church, and receive the "sacrament" at a Mormon church?

You've been busted with all of your lies, just put on you big boy pants, grow up and admit it.

Truth is truth. The retention rate for the mo's is abysmal. After all, they're missing 1 million or so in Brazil. Or is that another one of their math errors like BY helping the Catholics purchase that land 13 years after he died.

All the Mormon politicians in the world can't make Mormonism anything than what it is. The jabs back and forth don't mean much to me. The religion itself gives me the creeps. That's the emotion I have when I read at MD&D.

Why, because the normal expectation is that a man would not do that? How does that put Mormons, in general, in a better light? There are plenty of broken Mormon marriages, for many reasons, spouse illness among them.

Surely you don't think we all see Catholicism in a negative light because Newt Gingrich dumped his sick wife for a younger model.

As for taking CAF to task, you have never taken a Mormon poster to task for anything no matter how cruel, so your sanctimonious toning rings hollow.


Give it a rest café. It is a debating board. And debates will happen. But they do have a social forum too where people need to be sugary and kind to all.

If a Mormon poster would be critical of the catholic church, I would take them to task. But this doesn't happen very often. The catholics who post there know that I have defended the catholic church. But never have I seen the language that I have seen like on CAF.

CAF's Non-Catholic board is just as much a debating board as MD&D so debates will happen.

You would never take an LDS poster to task on MD&D, you lack the guts to do so, you are fully aware of how you would be treated by your fellow Mormons if you were ever even slightly critical of their behavior. When it comes to posting on MD&D you are an obsequious LDS toady, who delights in egging on hatred of the people on CAF. On MD&D you never miss an opportunity to turn the discussion to CAF and how awful those people are. You rejoice in finding ways to encourage hatred of those on CAF. You hate CAF and the posters who participate, your hatred is obvious in your obsessive need to direct conversation to CAF and the evils you perceive there.

As to the treatment of Mormonism on CAF. Posters on CAF may be tough on Mormonism, but they don't attack posters personally (calling you a liar doesn't count because you proved yourself a liar by denying your own words). MD&D posters are truly vicious towards individuals who post there, and banning (which you seem to find so offensive on CAF) happens even to people who don't post there. If you post here you run the risk of being banned on MD&D. That is truly Taliban behavior, and one only finds it on MD&D.

CFR you say "The catholics who post there know that I have defended the catholic church" please provide quotes showing your defense of the Catholic Church, and the Catholics who know you have defended the church. It should be easy to do a search and provide the required proof, but many have asked for this and you have always failed to provide the references, I'm sure you will be unable to prove you have actually done what you claim.
