Like the rage and confusion that occurred after innocent Egyptian women woke up and found their firstborn sons dead at the hand of Jehovah's murderous angel.
Screw you, Midgley.

And the prophecy of Jesus coming back and ruling over the Mormon Church is NEVER going to happen. It's been 200 years since Elohim appeared in the grove of trees and pissed on a 14 year old boy -- so far nothing else has happened. 200 years! The last days are counting down you fool! How about another 200 years? And 200 after that? And so on.

Had they lived in the days of Noah they would not have tossed a life preserver to anyone, especially a black man. Let him drown! Had they lived in the days of Moses they would have rejoiced that all the firstborn sons of Egypt were dead and counted it a blessing on their heads. Mormons today continue to honor the Old Testament and the murderous god Jehovah by refusing to recant or dismiss evil stories found in that unholy writ.
Basically, it boils down to the House of Israel (covenant people) and the Gentiles (bitter fruit).
That's it in a nutshell, folks. If you don't agree with me, fine, Screw you.
Christofferson explained the new Church policy on same-sex marriage and children.
Are children of gay people sweet fruits or bitter fruits? They must be bitter because they are not worthy of baptism and the sins of the parents be upon the heads of the children, the bitter fruits. President Monson so ordered it by revelation as confirmed by evil NelSatan, himself.
We will baptize the kids of murderers and rapists and even child molesters. But gays? No need to apply. Those be bitter fruits.
Sounds like it is taken a little out of context to me. If not, I am one of those bitter fruits.

Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but all men (except for children of gays) are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden.
He denieth none(except for children of gays) that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.
What exactly is it that makes being born to an out-of-wedlock couple a "bitter fruit?"
We know divorce rate is something like 50%, no better in the church.
Would D. Todd agree that half of all married-couple births also destined to become bitter fruits, too?
And I wonder what the data says about out-of-wedlock couples who give birth to a baby before marriage. How many of those couples stay together?
And also... which is more bitter, to be in the 50% of kids raised by married couples who divorce, or be in the group where the parental home situation starts separated and stays that way?
Speaking from experience, having my home split up through divorce as a child was pretty damn "bitter."
I maintain that the "bitter fruit" comment is nothing but a fear tactic, unsupported by data.
