Thread: Mormonism

I don't know if an oath like that exists because I haven’t yet been to the temple, but I'm sure you'll have a difficult time finding a case of someone being murdered for revealing the symbolism of temple garments.

[Edit]

Here's an article about what you're talking about. What's your next complaint against Mormonism?

And Sandform, what do you think is horrible about us?

I'm pretty sure when I die an Agnostic I don't want any church to say otherwise. People have complained about Mormons baptizing their dead loved ones. It's just something you don't want to do.

Lets put it in a different perspective. Would you want some cult to call you another religion after you die (not calling the Mormon church a cult)? I certainly wouldn't.

Mormons rarely "excomunicate" people in the sense that once you say your NOT a mormon anymore, they will go through great lengths to keep you on their roster despite your beliefs so they can say their numbers are "growing."

This is very interesting. I really find the whole "baptise the dead" thing unnecessary.

Even when a deceased person is baptized by the church it doesn't automatically mean anything. We believe that those on the other side have the opportunity to accept or reject the ordinance. All it means to us is that the deceased has had their work done, not that they are automatically made Mormons, in anyone's eyes. Besides, if you don’t believe our ordinance means anything, I don’t see any reason to be concerned about it.

And Sandform, it is rare, but I know a number of people who have been excommunicated.

Lol I trust you do, I happen to know of one myself, and it was because he went all out in his effort to force them to excommunicate him.
