Quote from chuck.ells:
Really?
You must be one of those mormons that swallow the whole shebang.
I for one have had the privilege of being excommunicated from the cult. I've witnessed the brain washing of juvenile's and the encouragement of same to leave their blood family's to be adopted by upstanding members of the mormon church.
I've also witnessed first hand the teaching that catholicism is a cult and catholicism needs to be destroyed.
The best part about mormonism is the belief that american natives (indians) are decedents of jews. Can you believe that? They still teach that crap to this day.
Interesting.
Sounds like you were a mormon who swallowed the big one and
got kicked out for some odd reason?... Why did they kick you out?
I am not mormon, but I know a few. Seem to be normal people to me.
All religions work on the young to bring them into the church, whatever
church it is. Not only mormons. You know that.
Maybe you live in Utah and people actually are brainwashed into
leaving their families and "adopted" by "upstanding" members of
the mormon church. There must be a reason why anyone would
leave their family for a church. Maybe the church is better than the
family they came from. A lot of families are dysfunctional to say the least.
Child abuse, incest, drug abuse, alcoholic parents and
siblings are things that will drive anyone away from a rotten family.
Just because you are born into a family doesn't mean you are owned
by your parents. You don't owe them anything either. At age 18 you
become an adult who can make up your own mind as to how you
want to live your life. We call this "freedom" in America. You are
free to believe in gOD, in ghosts, in aliens or be an atheist, ect,...
Show me some evidence where mormons teach that Catholicism
is a cult and needs to be destroyed. And tell me why they would
teach such a thing? You must know right?
As far as teaching that Native Americans are descendants of Jews,
I just read at wikipedia.com that some mormon scholars "view
Lamanites as (1) small tribe among many in the ancient Americas".
Also, it says that "nothing in the Book of Mormon precludes migration
into the Americas by peoples of Asiatic origin".
Also I just read that mormons teach that the families of Lehi, ect...
traveled from the Middle East circa 600 B.C. to the America's by boat.
Maybe it was one big gigantic canoe...
