@suzianne saidWho has said all Mormons are “whackos” and/or “dishonest”?
I never said that.
I have slammed the JWs myself for their "beliefs" they indoctrinate their followers with. Same with the LDS church.
But holding up the followers of these religions as whackos or dishonest or calculating is not entirely justified. The leaders that inculcate the followers with these beliefs, yeah, but not the victims of the church leadership.
The OP is about the Mormon organisations doctrines and beliefs.
@divegeester saidI never said anything was "off-limits"
Are you ok to discuss this, or is it off limits?
It's one thing to criticize the stated beliefs of an organization, or the leaders who promote and propagate these fringe ideas, but to slam those who have been indoctrinated by the leaders of these groups is simply blaming the victims.
@divegeester saidNo, he's slamming a post one member made, and slapping that member around for it.

We have no understanding if this is the standard teaching of the group, but it is clear he's attacking the person for the post and not the church for the beliefs.
@divegeester saidHis attacks on me typically refer to me in the third person. This indicates the tenor and purpose of his post, and classically exposes his holier-than-thou rhetoric.
“Attacking”?
@divegeester saidYep. He is probably gathering information from the other elders. They have a structure similar to the JWs. The elders are like God, and get their own planet, galaxy or universe to rule over. This is why he told me he is going to torture / punish me in hell [whatever that meant]. He is a sick deluded brainwashed Mormon who thinks he is God. You can deduce that from his arrogant posts. The idiot thinks he is in charge of planet Earth.
Interesting how PettyTalk is avoiding your thread.
Here is another comment from Reddit
Mormons do not believe they get their own planet. That’s small potatoes. Mormons believe they become Gods and create galaxies and universes as a God. They populate these galaxies with the spirit children they created with the massive amounts of celestial sex the worthy males have with their polygamous harem of wives. Anyone who says this isn’t true – never studied church history or is in denial.
Mormons lean heavily on plastic surgery because their teachings are all surface level about outside appearances, and prosperity = worthiness. There is pressure to look ideal because if your appearance is ideal – you must be pretty special and worthy. Always put your best foot forward. Never complain and make it appear that you are favored by God. We also have a lot of suicides in UT because of this attitude.
