LDS - Mormonism Guidelines

Theists only.

Look! It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's a bicycle built for two!

This forum is a debate area to discuss issues pertaining to the LDS - Mormons. This forum is generally for theists only, and is generaly not the area for debate between atheists and theists. Non-theists may not post here without first obtaining permission from the moderator of this forum. Granting of such permission is subject to Moderator discretion - and may be revoked if the Moderator feels that the poster is not keeping with the spirit of the World Religions Department.

Due to the sensitive nature of the LDS Temple Ceremonies to our LDS posters, we do not allow posting exact text of the temple rituals, articles describing older versions of the ceremony, or links that provide the same information. However discussion of generalities of the ceremony are not off limits. If in doubt, PM the area mod or an Admin


Non-theists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions.

    Good on you! It's like a badge of honor, isn't it?

      So, they kicked you out for wanting to be kicked out? Yay?
      If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

        After all (with apologies to Groucho) “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”

        Congrats, Janice!
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          LOL! They couldn't even find a reason, so they ASKED me to request in writing that my name be removed! And back then the only way to have your name removed was excommunication!

            So, not believing that Mormonism is the One True Churchtm wasn't a reason?

              Only if it was in writing I guess. I refused to go in and be put on trial in front of their leaders. I had told the bishop over the phone and the relief society president that I didn't believe their teachings. They didn't even offer me a tithing refund!
