Conservative, Fundementalists, not afraid to die for their beliefs, assured that paradise awaits them. Who better to fight the radical muslims, than Mormons? Maybe most people do not know, but the Mormons are planning to build one of their temples in Jerusalem, and this will usher in a new millenium, when Jesus Christ will return in the flesh. So, let's encourage them to build their temple and get all the fighting over with. The new millenium is supposed to be peaceful, I hear.

A lot of christian groups travel to Israel. When something happens there, it is big news in christian world. Remember the Palestinians the sought refuge in the church in Bethlehem? That got the worlds attention. Imagine, the Mormons start building their temple, as they are planning to, what will the islamic reaction be?
You will be surprised how many Palestinian-Christians there are supporting
the Intifada and willing to die to free the lands from the Zionists.
They are Catholic, and I don't think they will be very pleased with the arrival
of the Mormon invasion you talk about...
Edit; Just admit it, you are wishing for the Mormons to do the same as the
Jews.. to leave the US and go to mess around with another nation..

I went to work in Thailand for a couple of years, working on
military microwave communications links. My mom asked me (about
as unreligious as you can get) if I would distribute 66 pounds of
bibles to the natives in Thailand. Well it turned out 66 pounds was
my entire air passage allotment for the flight to Thailand. I politely
refused. Boy was I glad.
I worked in a town called Nakomphenom, NKP. I noticed there was
this american family walking through the town, which had wooden
sidewalks, kind of like the old west. They were walking in single file
and looking around like some bug was going to jump out at them at
any moment, this clear look of distain on all their faces, none more
clear than mom and dad. They had two 17 year old boys looking
quite the same. They were Mormon missionaries, obviously
convinced they were on a mission from god to convert these lowely
heathen.
One day, they took a trip to Bangkok, and the two boys went to
see the emerald Buddha, an enormous statue. In the Buddhist
faith, the head is the holy part of the body and the butt the lowest.
So these idiots did this: When no-one was looking, they climbed
the Emerald Buddha and strattling the head, waving their hats like
cowboys on a horse. Then they swapped places.
They took pictures of this. Then they took said film to a local
film studio to develop and lo and behold, the tech who did the work
was a Buddhist, saw the pictures and got incensed, called the police
and the evidence was in hand, the two kids were thrown in jail for
6 months for defacing a cultural treasure and for defiling the religion.
THEN they were deported. I am ever thankful I was never associated
with those idiots who thought Buddhists were just another heathen
religion and they were there to re-educate those poor suffering
Buddhists in the TRUE faith, Mormonism. Yeech, Gag me with a spoon.

The Center itself is a beautiful building on Mount Scopus overlooking the Mount of Olives, the Kidron Valley, and the Old City. The 125,000 square-foot, eight-level structure is set amid five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens.
You can read more on the web... just google 'byu jerusalem'

I hope this doesn't mean we are living in 'the latter-days'?
I WILL ONLY ADMIT TO ONE THING, YOU NEED TO MATCH RELIGIOUS FERVOR WITH RELIGIOUS FERVOR. MORMONISM IS A NEW RELIGION AND IS SPREADING FAST. CATHOLISISM IS NOT SO NEW, AND IS NOT SPREADING, AS FAR AS I KNOW. ISLAMIC SECTS ARE SPREADING AGAIN AND THIS IS A CHALLENGE TO MORE ESTABLISHED RELIGIONS EVERYWHERE. 100 YEARS FROM NOW, WE WILL UNDERSTAND BETTER WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY. CHINA AND RUSSIA WILL NOT BE AS NICE ABOUT CONTAINING THE MULLAH'S INFLUENCE.
Originally posted by jkentttI know. I was a mormon missionary in texas from jan. 7, 1967 to jan 9, 1969. I converted twenty-four or so of the heathens. (snark) At last count, my 24 conversions has grown to over 22,000 new mormons. It's amazing what just two generations of active recruitment has done.

I quite admire LDS people. They are quite independent and none of them believe in killing innocent people. Most of them are willing to help take out the garbage. I quite don't admire muslims. They think that killing innocent people is an honorable profession. I can count on one hand the exceptions.
One Friday after work, I decided to take to the streets and make my tracks homewards. When I reached round the corner from my place, I was greeted by two suited gentlemen, with name tags imprinted above their hearts and right hands extended demanding the hold of my hand to shake it…!!
Done my deed, greeted the two gents, shock their hands and said my bye byes.. Its Friday, am tired, hungry and cold.
Mr. Sven shtops me; "Shir may I have two menets, I vod lyke to shpeek to you about a verry shpetial religion. hav you kherd of the Mormons?
Oh God, no. Not now, not now. Alright, be patient peachyboy, let them do their duty. And I tell you what, why not do you duty too..?
Fabulous Idea!
"Hey Sven, and errrr, Mark? why not get out of the cold and have a warm cuppa tea at mine?, we can talk as much as you like.."
The two soldiers were shocked to the ground. I could almost see the happy tears roll down their caucasian cheeks. Now flushed with joy.. I could almost read their complex minds, the thoughts and images of all those doors banged in their faces, all the "Sorry mate, am busy", "later dude", "Oh please get a job", "if you knock on my door one more time, I will KILL YOU"… *SLAM*!!.. and many countless memories.. memories speak of horror, of rejection, of pure terror..
"The Another Testament of Jesus Christ tells the truth, Sven. See, I told ya I didn't sell my ranch for nothing. Someone will listen, someone will appreciate our Holy message…" Mark boomed.
And so they joined me, and I was shown miracles. Well, at least very lovely pictures. Pictures of their words, written on golden plates, that was quoted and abridged by a prophet-historian named Mormon.
They talked and talked and drank my tea and talked and talked more. They talked as if they were speaking to all those people who rejected them and slammed the doors in their hopeful young faces. They were venting all the anger that got bottled up with rejection. Repeating; "They will all go to HELL."
I was patient. Waited and listened. Heard the legends of Mormon, his son Moroni - who added a few words of his own - and hid up the plates in the hill Cumorah. I was lectured by useless "facts" in the likes of "On September 21, 1823, the name Moroni, then a glorified, resurrected being, appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and instructed him relative to the ancient record and its destined translation into the English Language".
They repeated the same words over and over again, that later on in the evening, I surprised myself that I managed to memorise word for word the Prophet's Joseph Smith when he said:
"I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."
and…
"The Testimony of Three Witnesses" and… "The Testimony of Eight Witnesses."!!!!!
and best of all:
"He called me by name"
"He had a loose robe of most exquisite whitness"
"He held me"…
(you know where this is going&hellip😉
Truly magical. Ok, lets break the spell. "Sven, tell me, apart from your studies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, learning from teaching, have you ever read, or looked into the "other religion" and read any of the "other books"..?"
"No Mr. Peach, allow-v-me. Therg's no point in reading the other vooks. Listen, look here, take this vook, as a gift, from me and Mark and the Prophet Joseph. Read this ghere, and this there. Mark marked them.. Mark Marked them… that’s funny, Mark, don't you think Mark. Mark Marked.. hhheeehhee..and this ghere and.. yah! this one ghere....."
Mark looked at Sven with a lover's eyes..
"Sure, thanks.. for the.. book. I will read them. Why don't we meet Sunday? You know what, we can talk about Islam? You tell me something about your religion, and I tell you something..? Hows that, eh? Great idea. I'll read this and come back to you with what I think."
"Listen, Mr. Peach we haven’t come to discuss. We are here to spread the Truth!. There is NO discussion. Didn't you hear..?? "…the most correct of any book on earth…"!!!! You better believe it, you better. Now, it will be too late, now, now, NOW!!"
"Hey man, chill. How about if I tell you, you should believe in my religion, otherwise it will be "too late", would you..?"
"Oakay, Mr. Peach… You read and believe vat is rritten and on Sunday, ve vill come. That’s-a-Deal. By that time you vod see tha truth!, then ve vill discuss."
"Sure, Sunday 6pm? Look forward to our debate.. Excellent.."
The flighying carpet came in and they flew away.. and left me a copy of The Book Of Mormon. I admit and I read few paragraphs then returned to my Warhammer Gotrek & Felix… Beast Slayer novel.
Ah the mayhem.....
Sunday, 18:00...
Sunday, 18:10…
Monday, 00:01..
Monday, 18:00… and they never showed up… I was disappointed. I really wanted to have a good hearted debate. You wanna talk religion, I'll give you religion!.. But they never showed up. Did I scare them..? Bless..
But there is no need to worry… I will find you, not by the finger prints you left on your Book, but by the address stamp on the inside of it;

Well, Mr. Peach, though I am now a devout atheist, I will be more than glad to resume your conversion. What do you need to know? Sorry I don't almost speak scandenuvian err... whatever. My "gifts" didn't include the gift of "tongues". I do slobber on occasion though.
Originally posted by jkentttLanguage matters. A better thread title would have been "Religions In Conflict". If you don't want to talk about "mormons" don't use them as the subject of the thread. Fuzzy thinking causes all kind of misunderstanding. I could have sworn this thread was that "Mormons are the answer!" to which I admit that I agree. If the world was entirely Mormon, we would be out among the stars building gods kingdom by now. They are a very progressive religion. They have to be because their number one tenet is "As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become." The way they believe in becoming "god like" is through hard work, toil and suffering. I -- being an atheist -- hate to admit it, but perhaps Mormons are the answer. I have found nothing better to replace their philosophy. And it ain't from lack of searching.
THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT MORMONS. IT IS ABOUT RELIGIONS THAT ARE SPREADING AND CONFLICTING WITH EACH OTHER.
