It is that even though I left the Cult of Mormonism 11 years ago, I am defending Mormonism at this point. Why? Because the Mormon Cult is changing doctrine yet - again.

So here I am defending the Mormonism that I knew - was converted to - and grew up with. What I was converted to in Mormonism would now have junior ass apologists like bcspace and ldsfaqs telling me that I was wrong. The missionaries that were appointed in 1986 by YOUR prophets - who converted me - were liars. They didn't know their doctrine.

Mormonism that within the last few weeks has changes so dramatically that if I were Mormon today, I would most definitely stand up and say NO. Absolutely NOT.

So really in the end, screw Mormonism. It shows that it isn't led by a true prophet. It isn't led by men in the past who communed with God. It is nothing more than an corporate institution run by a bunch of geriatric old men that are so out of touch with reality - it isn't even funny.

“F” Mormonism. It is a cult 100% through and through.



Let's not exaggerate. I'd say it's no more than 50% cult.

Exactly. Repeating over and over again that it's racist will not make it so


FIFY

Funny how no one can show how it's racist. Must be like the taste of salt or something.....

Excluding a single race of people from things isn't racist. Because bcspace says so.

Everyone has shown that it's racist. The fact that you don't see it doesn't change the fact that it is. You can argue that Rush Limbaugh is slim, and repeat over and over again that he is slim. You are free to believe that, but don't pretend like it's the truth.

He sees it. He's just trolling, as usual.

Looks like I can rest my case....again. Race wasn't a consideration for the ban. Not even the speculations posit that.

1964: Apostle urges Mormon governor to oppose African-American civil rights.

Current Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney's father, George Romney, spoke in favor of the Civil Rights movement while he was governor of Michigan. In response, Mormon apostle Delbert Stapely wrote him a letter which urged him, in an unofficial capacity, to consider "the curse upon the Negro" and the "very tragic end by drowning" met by another Mormon advocate of civil rights. The church would not allow black men to hold its priesthood until 1978.
