    Question 'Twas the Night Before Smithmas!

    'Twas the night before Smithmas, and all through the temple,
    Not a cumelon was creeping, or a tapir, (for ex-emple!)
    The garments were hung out to dry in the air,
    But fortunately for us, we have two extra pairs.

    The children were stashed at Gramma's homestead,
    While Mom and Pop got dunked once again for the dead!
    And Mom in her veil, and I in my old bakers' cap,
    Had just about finished another endowment wrap!

    When beyond the temple grounds I heard a big clatter
    Even sprang from my seat to see about the chatter;
    To the pentagram window I flew like an eagle,
    Peered out to see some Christians - they were legal!

    The icky tall towers cast a shadow below
    But still I could see someone I did know.
    For what to unbelieving eyes should appear,
    But my eldest daughter and hubby, my greatest fear!

    With signs held high, walking about and about
    And above the din, I could even hear them shout!
    Rapidly, quickly, their sentences came,
    And they shouted each "profit", yes even by name!

    "Now Smith, now Young, now Kimball and Monson!
    Come on Woodruff, and Taylor, and every man's son!
    To the top of the temple, to the top of the spire!
    Each man can explain why he did conspire"!

    "Joseph Lied"! They shouted as the leaves began to fly,
    We've met the Tanners, and discovered the lies!
    So come out and face us, bring the whole crew!
    Hinckley and "Fielding," and McConkie, too!

    And then in a while, I perceived on the roof!
    That Moroni was laughing, banging his hoof!
    And as I turned back to see my dear wife,
    I saw her run and cry, "getting out with my life."

    The wiggling hand dropped from the eerie veil,
    And soon the whole crowd ran out, 'cept the frail!
    Some hobbled along, they didn't look back,
    'Til there was just me, and Satan in black!

    Old Slew Foot's eyes flashed, as he called after the flee-ers
    "Ha, you fools won't escape, you can't be "believers."
    You see, you've covenanted Joe Smith to obey,
    If you don't, why then fools, I'll rule the day!

    But the stump of one sign still stood on it's pole,
    And it's words could be seen, even thru the cold!
    "Joseph has lied, no first vision , he's a boaster!
    Moronoi never existed, and Smith's an impostor!

    The Christians rejoiced as the Mormons streamed out,
    And I couldn't help hearing them put up a shout!
    With a smile and a prayer, they welcomed the lost,
    And told them the Gospel, Good News in the frost!

    And they spoke God's Word, going straight to their work,
    Filling hearts with hope, and healing the hurt!
    They p***ed out Bibles, and with tears in their eyes,
    Praised the God of the Universe, who vanquishes lies!

    And with hope's spark in my heart, I ran out to see,
    My family who cared to love, love mother and me!
    And I heard them exclaim, as they prayed so intense!
    "Good bye Joseph Smith, and to Satan, get thee hence"!

    Hey Apologette, please do yourself and the rest of the world a favor and don't ever lie again saying that you do this out of love for the LDS. By this you clearly show anybody interested enough to read through it that you really don't respect the LDS at all. No cl***.

    I have no respect at all for a cult that lies it's way into the homes of "contacts" and lies its way into peoples' minds by pretending to be something they are not....a restoration of Christianity. However, as for Mormons themselves - they are victims of Joseph Smith, and those who followed him and are in power. They are deceived, apart from God, without hope unless they repent and come to Christ.

    Nonetheless, still no common decency in your example of supposed "Christian" love. It is simply pitiful that at this glorious time of year the filth that you present for the cause of your christ just shows the state of your heart. I'm a little surprised that other "Christians" haven't recognized the sleaze and asked that you remove it.

    Anyway, for all that read this forum, look at the type of posts that come from those who really are anti-lds person. Because someone who truly loved their neighbor, LDS, would not post something like this.

    Merry Smithmas! Hopefully one day you'll be celebrating "Merry Christmas."

    Joseph Smith didn't respect orthodox Christianity, either. Did he have cl***?

    Respect of another's beliefs is not required of the LDS people.. After all ever other religion but theirs is part of the Great and Abominable Church of the Devil.. Since mormonism is the only true church, it p***es that all others are false.. After all right in their scripture we read:

    1 Nephi 14:10
    There are only two churches, one of the Lamb of God and one of the devil


    Christian insist that they are NOT part of or ***ociated with the LDS church.. That would mean that they would perceive Christians as being part of the Great and Abominable Church of the Devil..

    One of the more contemporary leaders of the LDS church has said:

    This is not just another Church. This is not just one of a family of Christian churches. This is the Church and kingdom of God, the only true Church upon the face of the earth. (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, pp. 164-165)

    Is that not evidence that they have no respect for any other religion.. They will act as through they are part of the lager ecumenical community when the facts are they look down their noses at all other churches as teaching error! Smith's history tell the whole story as his Jesus told him that all the churches are WRONG.. Even their Jesus has no cl*** according to Snow's definition that respect is required to have cl***.. The mormon Jesus must have had no love for mankind allowing more than 1700 years to p*** before repairing the damage done by men to the Church of the first century. Didn't he care about those people? Were they cursed by God? The same as to why millions of Blacks before 1978 were cursed by God because of the color of their skin? Tell me who is recorded in God's word to be the first Gentile to hear the Gospel? A BLACK MAN!

    The cheep mormon copy of the Real Jesus is a very hateful, cl***less, man made, man invented god.. The doctrines and teachings of mormonism, as well as those that invented them deserve no respect.. IHS jim

    No where in that post is there one reference to any mormon doing anything negative.. The closest I got was saying that the LDS people are not required to respect others.. I didn't say they couldn't.. Then I showed that in the LDS religion such a teaching of respect is not given.. That they are taught that all other churches are part of the Great and Abominable Church of the Devil. I believe I have separated mormons from mormonism in my post.. I am sorry that they feel personally ***aulted when the teachings of their church are attacked.. It is against mormon church that I attack.. I couldn't possible have better neighbors that the LDS people.. IHS jim

    Just because most of the LDS may not be posting at this time doesn't mean we are going to put up with blantant lies. This is so false how can you even post this with a straight face? At least your wife had the decency to acknowledge when something is unnecessarily offensive.

    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.

    You guys need to make up your mind on your criticisms because when we do work with people of other faiths we get criticized for that. An example is when LDS help a Sikh temple, was it?

    Absolutely not. Just like when you say "anyone who isn't Christian isn't saved or going to heaven" does THAT mean you don't respect any other religions.

    What a hypocrit.

    Hypocrisy? How about your idol and god, Joe Smith claiming on the one hand that he only had one wife, and on the other hand being married to over 34 women? That's fine right?

    Can't you see where I got the defense of the exclusiveness of the Church? It was all biblical.. All directly from God not from me.. Snow is calling God's word Hypocrisy.. That is calling God a liar.. That sounds like serious sin to me.. IHS jim

    Right here on this forum I have had LDS tell me that "We just have more revelation".. isn't such a statement saying that the LDS church is superior to all other churches? How many times have you said in your heart and with your lips that The LDS church is the "Only True Church"? And you tell me that this isn't calling all other churches false?

    Is that the kind of RESPECT you are offering? Superiority and out and out conceit in believing that only mormonism is right and everyone else is false.. You do say "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." Then you send tens of thousands of young missionaries into the world with the message that ONLY mormonism is TRUE, therefore every other church is FALSE"? A Christian missionary has one message that message is Jesus.. His place in the universe (He is God), and what He accomplished as God (Offering us salvation by His grace through faith in Him)..

    There is a huge difference in proclaiming that Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life that no one comes to the Father but by Him, and a church adding their baptism, their authority, their church membership, and the acceptance of their leaders to the simple qualifications Jesus gave us, "Believe in Me".. We don't believe that anyone that denies the Jesus of the Bible are His children.. If someone isn't in Jesus they are in their sin and God's wrath abides on them. Does mormonism see it as something the Church should do to help or condone the idolatry found in other religions? Those aren't my private teachings that is the word of God.. Inventing your own Jesus writing your own gospel is what is hypocritical. Supporting nonchristian religions is plain wrong.. That is something mormonism does while the Christian Church will never do.. Unless you can show that your Jesus is THE JESUS you are outside the family of God.. You hold an idol to be your god..

    The Bible say that He is God. That God alone is God.. He is One Lord.. God teaches us in His word that no other God not one formed before Him, and not one formed after Him is God.. The Jesus you call god was created after the Father was already God. Because of that God tells us that such a being can't be God.. You can do two things about that p***age (Isaiah 43:10). One is to deny it.. The other is to change it's message.. I have seen that attempt and it still doesn't explain how Jesus and the Father are both the God(s) of this world but became God(s) at different times.. I doubt you can understand that p***age in any way that makes sense to mormonism. I do wish you would try..


    Absolutely not. Just like when you say "anyone who isn't Christian isn't saved or going to heaven" does THAT mean you don't respect any other religions.

    What a hypocrit.
    No I have no respect for false teachers, or their false religions..

    This is great.. Because I believe God's word I am a hypocrite.. That sounds just like the TV Channel A&E condemning one of their channels stars for holding christian beliefs. Saying that He believed that unconfessed sin will **** the sinners to hell.. Yes you are now totally of the world, You call the teaching of God through His word, evil and the evil of the world (Accepting all men as good) good..

    Here is your verse

    Isaiah 5:20
    Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!


    That is you in the denial of God's word.. IHS jim

    Know what.. You don't matter.. I have shown where my beliefs are rooted.. You call me a hypocrite for believing those teaching what do you call the author of those words? You have made a huge step in calling Good evil.. You have now added God to your list of hypocrites.. Good ***.. Let me see.. God is not the greatest being that has ever existed because He himself has a God.. Jesus is the creation of that created God so he is even less of a God that the being He calls Father.. and now those that believe His word are hypocrites for doing so.. Yes indeed you do call Good evil.. I am the hypocrite for believing God, and you are not even though you doubt Him.. Yeah that makes sense.. But since you are LDS you know more than just a Christian.

    I call you a hypocrit for believing one thing and then ridiculing others for believing the same thing. It matters not where they get their beliefs. I can't say I believe Obama is a bad President and then make fun of you for believing Obama is a bad President for a different reason. That is being hypocritical. You can try to write this off any way you want, but still when you hold one belief and then ridicule someone else for holding that same belief then you are a hypocrit. Plain and simple.

    So you don't believe that the LDS church has more revelation than other churches? You don't believe that the LDS church is superior to all other churches? You don't believe that the LDS church is the "Only True Church"? I deny all of that.. I don't see that that the LDS church has anything more than false teachings.. So where is hypocrisy in my words?

    Does the LDS church not send tens of thousands of young missionaries into the world with the message that ONLY mormonism is TRUE, therefore all other churches are FALSE?

    I never said anything about the President, good or bad.. I never criticized mormonism for being false only to call it true.. No Christian Church believes that baptism, or membership in their church provides salvation.. That is a teaching of mormonism.. I did make one error in my post.. I missed the n't on the word are in this statement "Those are my private teaching that is the word of God" It should read "Those aren't my private teachings, that is the word of God". If that is what you are pointing out thank you for correcting my weak typing skills.. I fixed it and added a bit more to it.. Reread it if your want.. IHS jim

    The LDS may have more "revelations" than orthodox Christian church, but that doesn't mean that they come from God. In fact, they come from the devil, the father of lies.

    Hi, Ma'am. Yes, and extra-biblical revelations are certainly one of the paramount hallmarks of a cult! They all have them.
    Oath formerly taken by Mormons promising not to reveal secret Mormon temple rituals: "Should we do so, we agree to have our breasts cut open and our hearts and vitals torn from our bodies and given to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field."

    So God closed the heavens and no longer speaks to man...and this is why?

    He speaks to us all the time, Papa. Pick up your Bible, pray for protection by the Holy Spirit when you read, and God will speak to you! You should know that! I'm a charismatic, and you should understand we believe that the Holy Spirit is not "our companion," but indwells believers and leads them. By Word and Spirit, Papa. And they must agree.

    Really? Don't you believe that anyone who doesn't accept Jesus as their Savior is doomed to eternal torment? Please tell me how newborns, mentally retarded, or anyone that has lived in an area that has never heard the word Jesus have the chance to accept Christ? Doesn't He care about those people? Were they cursed by God? You religion does not allow for exceptions. Maybe you should slow down in typing your criticism of everything LDS because you are showing your hypocrisy over and over.
