mormon MollyGoLightly They wear special underpants. 000521 ... the schleiffen man i tried being mormon once and it didn't work. that's what usually happens when you don't try. i think i'd better get off my ass this time. 000521 ... lisa_is_bionic Isn't Pepsi owned by Mormons? 000526 ... kaskarkaminski I was too afraid those rubber bands would cut off the circulation to my feet 000803 ... typhoid a common misspelling. only one r is needed. 000804 ... typhoid a common misspelling. only one m is needed. okay. point taken. 000804 ... kitty when i was 13 i went to girls camp with all the other bitches in my ward. one night we sat around a campfire and passed a rose around that everyone was aloud to touch and look at. they asked us "BIG" questions, like, "If you were 16 and on a date (if you're mormon you have to be 16 to date) with a boy you really really liked, and he leans over to kiss you, but open mouthed, how would you avoid it?" well, duh, if you're 16 and you really really like the guy you're gonna fucking kiss him. but this is bad bad bad... the rose example was to show us what happens if a girl is "passed around" and "felt" and "opened up" by many people: it wilts. i do not like being told that science is completely fallible and carbon dating is wrong because the bible says the earth is only 6000 yrs old. a sunday school teacher preached this upon me a few times. i don't go to church any more cuz they don't have satisfactory explanations for things. 000806 ... MaryJane i met a seemingly decent guy last july. he wasn't quite mormon then. he was a liberal little punk boy. then he had a revelation and decided he had to revert to his religion. this wouldn't have bothered me so much had he not tried to drag me into his converted state so that he could leave me waiting for him through his two year mission. 001105 ... starlette i tried it once... ...like most things that come by way of peer pressure...it wasn't so great. 010209 ... silentbob i think they believe that they have conversations with god, like actual ones through prayer, not just left satisfied with strength and empowerment, but actual mental conversations, i think. i read this somewhere. Orson Scott Card is a mormon. the guy on orgazmo is, Elder Joe Young. such a great movie. 010209 ... chanaka an interesting, almost infamous religion. one that i would like to read more about....a rarity in itself (since i am athiest). 010210 ... peyton I have lots of family who are mormon. I once considered being one myself. I've been to all the mormon holy places.. I've felt the ground in which the holiest of the mormon relics was found. I think there is a lot of truth in it. They are very nice people, and have the right ideals concerning morality, virtue, and honesty. My only problem was they spent too much time convincing each other that their religion was the true one. I couldn't join because I felt like they doubted the truth themselves. That, and I don't want to go on a mission, simply because I'm not the missonary type. They shouldn't be persecuted. People shouldn't make jokes like, 'Only one 'M' is needed.' Those people are ignorant, and know little about the religion. And the rose analogy was a true one. Get past your own hormones and try not to screw every penis that will allow you to mount it. People should know more facts about things, before they pass judgement. 010210 ... unhinged there are a lot of mormons in my town. most of them are nice friendly people. but the religion itself scares me. my brother would always go to wednesday night church thingie with my neighbor down the street who was mormon at the time and they kept trying to convert him and my family. i find religious conversion very abhorrent. most of the teenage mormons in my town are alcoholic drug addicts. an angel came down to him and told him where to find the golden tablets that he needed magic glasses to translate? i don't know about that one....but then again i think all organized religion is superfluous. 010210 ... deflowered or perhaps, peyton, the penis should try not needing to fuck every flower it sees. mr. penis needs to learn more restraint if you ask me. 010210 ... tulip or maybe, just maybe, the flower should be a bit more choosy about just which penis, exactly, she lets in don't worry. if you're like me, you'll bloom again 010214 ... peyton ::reads the line from Tulip, stands.. applauds..:: Tis the nature of a penis to run amok. Tis the duty of the flower to stay somewhat pure. Yeah.. it's a double standard. But it's what we must deal with. 010215 ... *Ziima* I believe when I was very young I was taught that Mormons believed in having more than one wife. Is this true? Also...I think Mormons are more tolerated because they're not as annoying as jahovas. 010220 ... j_blue my mother told me to beleive what feels right. growing up mormon, i heard alot of shit from alot of people. when i went to college i heard even more. people suck. i wish people didnt talk shit so much about things they dont know about. it sucks. i went to this christian school for a while, and that was the first time i heard religious jokes. before then i didnt know that there were clicks that made fun of other churches. we lied and told everyone we were christian (actually we didnt lie, but we did deceive them), and they totally talked shit about catholics (my grandmother's religion) and latter_day_saints they sucked i always look to my grams and my moms for an example. they were both completely cool with each other's religion, and were totally cool to me about it. there was respect. when i stayed at grams sat night, sunday morning was at catholic church. otherwise i went to mormon church. that was it, no biggy. they never talked shit, and nobody in my family ever talked shit. they expected us to go to church on sunday, but never asked us to do anything else. we took the other church goers with a grain of salt; catholic, mormon, or any of the standard christians. they were all people, subject to being normal or weird, but never an authority on what i should beleive. there is just too much shit on this god damned planet 010220 ... unhinged mormons at one time did practice polygamy. there are two different schools of thought as to why. but, when utah was a candidate for statehood the federal government made them outlaw the practice in order to become a state. mormons haven't practiced polygamy for over 100 years i'm pretty sure. 010220 ... grendel i have nothing against the religion, per se, i just wish they weren't just like every other conservative christian group when it came to the political candidates that pollute this state's legislature. I just hope that the planned redistricting breaks up those insular little zones where the same far-right wingnuts (Mormons and otherwise, i'm not just blaming them) keep sending the same kind of far right jackasses to DC if i could afford to leave arizona i would 010221 ... Aimee my dad became mormon to get a chick... fucking prick. 010729 ... mulder mormons? you call somebody a mormon and all they do is stand there grinning mormonally.... god homer simpson rules 010729 ... Mushroomman god damnit..they come into my work... about 5 minutes to closing and they want ice cream... after i just wiped down the glass in the front.... and... they put their dirty little fingers on it.... you know a moron..opps heh heh.. i mean mormon when you see one... especially if you were once one yourself... 010810 ... . : * p s y b o r g * : . A sexist religion. Guys can have five wives, but women can only have one husband. Fuck you sexist pigs. 011029 ... girl_jane --direct descendent of Joseph Smith 020518 ... reitoei according to the new yorker, mormon's will be one of the dominant economic influences in five years. 020518 ... Jacer he's a mormon, but to fully understand who he is, you'd have to read my vacation journal 020518 ... nametag: billnotbillalmostbillsometimes fuck, they mustabeen right all along 020519 ... Bruce Interesting web site... anyway, I am Morman myself but I am still not a full believer. I try to keep my lack of faith private because if my people in my church knew I would be lectured like a 5 yr old who just broke a window with a baseball. For the most part I like the church but I don't see or feel anything special, maybe it's the wrong time in life or maybe it's all wrong for me. I do believe in some kind of "higher power" but the Morman church may not or may hold the answers. Also one more thing to those people who say things like "sacred underwear" and other stuff, know your facts before you start to judge. If you have any questions ask a Morman, I found my faith more if some asked the big questions. 020701 ... god mormons rock ass, dude 020701 ... paste! i am the caffeine and i sound like this (naoao, naoao) 020701 ... A Mormon 1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. 3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. 4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. 5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. 6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. 7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. 8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. 9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. 10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon this the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory. 11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may. 12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law. 13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul. We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. ----- There were no magic glasses used for the translation of the gold plates, God gave Joseph Smith the ability to read the plates and helped him translate them. The polygamy was very important for the survival of people. The men were being killed and persecuted and there were not enough of them to take care of the women one on one so the wealthier men took on multiple wives to provide for them. And by the way, they talk to the penises too, not just the flowers. It is a two sided battle for purity. 020713 ... yep on the standard mormon explanation of polygamy: isn't it possible to provide for (clothe, feed) a widow without *marrying* her? 020714 ... sonic just to clear this up for you all...mormons do not practice pologamy anymore. they used to a long long time ago but it was outlawed from the church
