iāve read your posts on MADB and you DONāT defend the catholic church. you have made it obvious there that you are mormon.When the mormon church is attacked, I can perhaps sound like a mormon. But when the catholic church is attacked, I can certainly sound like a catholic. Both faiths are close to my heart. Nothing wrong with that, right?
Notice Why Me says he was āborn Catholicā. He doesnāt say he was ever baptized Catholic or confirmed Catholic. That, and setting himself up as a Mormon Apologist, pretty much tells the story. Heās Mormon. So why say heās Catholic when heās not?
with multiple underage girls pregnant I donāt think Texas will be unable to prove their case. there is also reason to believe that there may be marriage records found there in the ātempleā that could show polygamy. Thatās still a crime in Texas as is underage marriage.
same reason he tells us the nuns at the convent he attends adoration at ask him to read at mass and that his priests that he hangs out with are opus dei. itās an attempt to gain catholic cred to trot out the old āwow look at these mormons maybe theyāre onto somethingā approach. he makes sure to tell his mormon friends on MADB how he tells the nuns and priests the way things are if they ever say anything negative about the LDS church. that and his JS icon and fave JS quotes on his signature make his religion pretty obvious.
Is underage marriage a crime if the parents give their consent? Because if so, thatās likely not going to be part of the case, at least not all of them. Now, that will ONLY help men whose FIRST marriage is to an underage girlā¦ ANY bigamous/polygamous marriage will still be deemed illegal.
Under a certain age, yes. In Texas, I believe the age is 17 (I just looked it up). Several of the girls removed from the FLDS compound were under 17 when they were forced into marriage to much older men.
Yeah, and itās about time something was done. Itās tragic that so many children had to suffer before the authorities stepped in. And as this mess unwinds, there will be many more problems that come to light. Each individual child is a separate caseā¦
i have never gotten the impression that you are Catholic. you write like someone who is pretending to be Catholic, and not doing a very good job of it. iām sure iām not the only one here who has figured you out. maybe you are doing your religion a disfavor?
it dpends on what you mean by āclose to my heart.ā if you mean that you can practice both without being offensive to both, then youāre way off base there. but really, no one buys this story. youāre a morman true and blue. what are you ashamed of? most mormans seems to be are overproud and a bit haughty about being mromon. i think you are too.Both faiths are close to my heart. Nothing wrong with that, right?
You are sure pushing him hard to become a full-blooded Mormon if he isnāt one. Well, I canāt complain about that.
Looks like he will make a good Mormon aplogist when he does! nope he is about as effective as you are. you both ignore facts and turn to a subjective emotional experience in adolescence as reason to place your faith in joseph smith.You are sure pushing him hard to become a full-blooded Mormon if he isnāt one. Well, I canāt complain about that.

Majick, when you consider the origins of Mormonism and all the odd practices (including polygamy, but lots of others) the stuff that goes on in the Temple is pretty tame. (Iām talking about a regular LDS Temple, not one of those FLDS places where they have sex with children.) Supposedly there was more colorful language as part of the rituals in the past, but that has been modified now.
Iām sure the priests donāt know that you are receiving communion in a Catholic church, and taking sacrament at a mormon sacrament meeting.I was born catholic and converted to mormonism at 18. But because I was born catholic, I am catholic. The catholics around me know my story. Nothing is hidden.
We donāt yet know what happened in Texas. Maybe it was nothing, maybe it was something awful. Letās wait until the evidence comes out before we pass judgement.Yeah, and itās about time something was done. Itās tragic that so many children had to suffer before the authorities stepped in. And as this mess unwinds, there will be many more problems that come to light. Each individual child is a separate caseā¦
Religious belief is not going to protect those who preyed upon children. Warren Jeffs may have some company in jail. Maybe he can play football with them
According to people who have posted here, within this very thread, it is illegal to marry a child that is under 16 in the state of Texas. There are pregnant girls that are under 16. If they are married, that marriage is not valid. Therefore they were impregnated via statutory rape. That particular evidence speaks for itself. If you want to call that passing judgment, thatās certainly your prerogative. I call it using the brain God gave me to put 2 and 2 together.
With all due respectā¦ I have had enough of Mormonism as well as their long held beliefs of polygamy. I know what went on in that compound without some lawful evidence. I come from a polygamous background and a heritage that spans continents and back to Mormon roots.
No need to pass judgment even then. After all, thatās the courtās role. They will weigh the evidence of underaged pregnant kids and those who are already mothers. The leader who has already been convicted for facilitating this type of child molestation will also be presented. Then, once the children have been question, their own stories will be told.
Could you direct us to these attacks where you sound like a Catholic? I havenāt seen anything remotely like this from you, here or on the MAAD board.When the mormon church is attacked, I can perhaps sound like a mormon. But when the catholic church is attacked, I can certainly sound like a catholic. Both faiths are close to my heart. Nothing wrong with that, right?
