Top Ten Enemies of LDS church

[_beastie]

I do admit Trey Parker and Matt Stone are possibilities.

Please only list real tangible people or organizations.

#1 on my perceived list is the doctrine and history of the church which is weird and strange; and when the leaders try and get away from that weird and strangeness it makes them even less credible.

The OP creator is asking what would be on the list created by the Church or the brethren. That's the list...you can count on it. Much more likely than any of the others that people are creating here.

I'm talking about a list of real human beings, like the one the Scientologists created, which I referenced and linked. Scientologists believe that evil engrams, or whatever, are the biggest problem in the world, too, but that didn't stop them from listing human beings they view as enemies.

The Church is a lot more interested in getting into closed countries and building new temples than worrying about "enemies."

Sandra Tanner is a good example. A long-time critic of the Church who does a reasonably good job of getting her message out, yet the Church does or says little about her. It doesn't really care.

I had an interesting experience with her. I was in her old location near Derks' Field chatting with her. I had purchased a couple hundred dollars of stuff. A middle-aged man entered her store and gave her a hug and thanked her for helping him get out of Mormonism, and described what it meant to him and his family. She took the accolades gracefully. He then asked a rather silly question: "So, what should I do now? What faith should I follow?" She was taken aback and didn't really have anything to say (and that isn't her mission in life). The guy then appeared to be very confused.

Mike Quinn is another. The Church has had nothing to do with his career, one way or the other, once he decided to become a published expert on homosexual relations.

Other than the list I provided I don't think the Church would even think of such a list. Sorry, I did my best for ya.

It cared when she linked to the CHI.

Oh, baloney. How do you think they decide for whom to start a "clipping service" file?

[_stemelbow]

Oh, baloney.

I've been getting a lot of this you're lying stuff lately. Seriously, I did my best for ya.

I've leave this thread confused.

I didn't say you were lying.

What are you confused about? Are you unaware that the church has the practice of clipping articles about persons of interest, which are kept in a file?

I told you I did my best and you responded with "baloney". Apparently you don't think I tried my best. Oh well.

Well if this is what you're talking about with "clipping service" then, assuming your wiki link is accurate it tells you how they start such a file. Why are you asking? Are you saying that people who publish things critical of leaders or whathaveyou are on this list? Or is this the Church's list of enemies?
