View Full Version : Mormons
My husband and I decided to put up a privacy fence. He was outside working on it last night and a couple of Mormon guys stopped by and asked if he needed any help. He said "Sure!" so they brought four guys over tonight! Wow! They are making quick work of it! My husband can handle some Mormon preaching. I'm sure he'll preach right back! Anyway, I'm thankful for the help and it's good to talk to them too.

LOL! Oh, very funny!
Actually some Mormon guys came over last year and we set up an appt to meet at my house. I told them flat out that I had no interest in their church and that I would be happy to discuss the scriptures with them. They came. Only once though. ;)

They need Jesus. Help them.
It's amazing how similar their logic is in submitting to authority as apostolics. Very, very similar.

I have a very good friend who is Mormon. She was born and raised in it and is raising her family in it. We agreed long ago that we will agree to disagree and therefore, not discuss it. I understand that I am not going to change her mind. And I know for sure there is no way in the world I could fall for their malarchy! I do however enjoy using their libraries for my genealogical research.

My daughter has had a number of good Mormon friends. They are some really good people. (At least the devout ones are!) ;)

I agree. Marie and her husband would put many "Christian" people to shame when it comes to family values. I used to hire her daughter to babysit when our boys were small. Even at 13, she was the best babysitter we ever had. I've learned alot of things about parenting from Marie.

Yes, my husband told those "boys" that he respects a lot about their church. And we do and always have. They do have some great values. But, yes, there is an awful lot of hooey in their church too. I also have an uncle who has been a Mormon for years and years.

Boy, have you got that right!! Back when Marie and I did attempt to discuss her religion (on occasion), I never did figure out what in the world they believe regarding who Jesus is. To me that is fundamental. She danced all around it but never committed one way or the other.
In my book, if you don't even know who JESUS is, then the rest of whatever you believe must be hogwash.

My Aunt and Uncle came just a week ago for a short visit. While they were in this part of the country, my Aunt noticed that there were no Mormon churches and thought that to be interesting. My husband said "Hey honey, we've found our niche!" LOL

Yeah, I know that's how they evangelize. But I think they are going to get evangelized!! :D

LOL! unless you are pretty much in the club, you wont get one to tell you who Jesus is.
I have a Mormon friend that acually will discuss this stuff with me....but still he wont be forthright on the subject.
Jesus is the Son of God and the Brother of Lucifer. God the Father is a completly seperate being from Jesus. We are all Jesus's brothers.

So that makes Lucifer a son of God?? And we are ALL Jesus' brothers??? Does that mean that Jesus is not God? (I asked Marie that directly, because she had told me the same kind of stuff you just said. Her answer to me was that "Jesus was God, but not really God". huh???? That's double talk if I've ever heard it!!)
Like I said, so much of what she talked about was pure hogwash, it was ridiculous.
The other thing they believe is that they can be baptized "for" someone who has passed away and earn that person's way to heaven (or at least to a higher realm). I laughed when my dad told my cousin (who is Mormon), "If you are baptized in my place after I am dead, and then you feel yourself choking as you come up out of the water, that'll be ME! I'm coming back to get you so you can join me so I can whip your - well, let's not say what he was gonna whip". :killinme:killinme:killinme

Yes Lucifer just like you me and Jesus are sons (or in your case a daughter) of God.
Jesus is not the God of this world but you have to understand the goal of Mormonism to get it.
"As God is, so shall we be, As we are once God was"
that is mormonism summed up in a simple phrase. God the Father was once a person on some planet and He had a God. Then because he was a wonderful Mormon he got his own planet to work with. that is the goal of every Mormon. To get their own planet. As a mormon wife, your job would be to have celestial babies. Aint that special.
They also believe that everyone will eventually get to heaven. bad folk will go to the first level of heaven. good folk and not so good mormons will go to the second level of heaven. and good mormons will go to the third level of heaven. From there they get promoted to god status.
I think I have that right.

My oldest daughters' best friend in college (ASU) married and moved to VA due to her husbands job. They were young, didn't know anyone and were doing some sort of outdoor project....and some Mormons stopped by to assist.
This family ended up converting and are now mormons.
Yes, this is a clever method of getting people to talk to you. They came back to befriend them many times b4 they converted. When the relationship was just beginning they became so involved with this couple it eliminated other influences. Verry clever evangelizing!

ILG~ With all the bad flap Mormons get I must say they really do a lot good when it comes to helping their own and strange as well. Lived in UT for four years, they help the widows and old, sick, homeless on a daily base, even folks who were not member received help and were allowed to shop in their store house to pick up free food, due to being out of work or just having a hard time making ends meet. While my husband was out town on business UT was hit by record snow storm, the men folks shoveled the snow off my roof for days, and due to the high winds it blew apart some of the roof. They showed up and fixed it, would not aspect money, they asked that I help someone in their time of need. By far they have a great welfare system set in place, I think other could learn something from it!

Sounds a lot like what many preach within the Church today...Hair, dress standards, etc...So not that far off in some respects~

Yeah, they came and helped again today. Said they would come back and see if it was finished Monday. But, hey, if I wanted to be in a church that had a rather closed system....been there done that. ;)
