The meaning seems to be the same as ‘whoredaughters,’ yes. I can’t argue against that, and yes, it is embarrassing and annoying. However, whether you believe me or not on this, I was worried more about the specific wording, since she was so specific–and since I HAVE seen that specific wording several times on anti-Catholic fundamentalist websites today. She made quite a point of the word ‘whoredaughters.’ I don’t see that word/term in those quotes, do you? We are talking about the specific term in that specific book.
…and yes, I am ashamed and irritated that some of our earlier leaders used this sort of rhetoric. They were wrong.
Think so?
well, Rebecca, do you really want me to start quoting the sort of **** CATHOLICS say about Mormons and Mormonism…LAST WEEK? TODAY?
I understand that “tu quoque” is a fallacy in one way; just because it is a pot calling the kettle black does not mean that the kettle is not black.
On the other hand, you had to go back a century and a half to winnow out a few quotes in order to justify your charge that Mormons are awful bigots who go around calling Catholics whores of Babylon at every turn. We don’t.
I can, and you know it, find far worse things said about Mormonism by Catholics, and they’ve said it, not a century and a half ago, but today. Last week. Constantly. Derisively. Shoot, right HERE on this forum.
It’s a case of “War and Peace” calling “Different ways to spell ‘Bob’” a long book.
…and I’ll bet there isn’t a single Catholic or Protestant here who can claim that a Mormon attacked them physically because of their religion.
Reverse it, and I can do that.
NO Catholic or Protestant here has been handed a pamphlet that compares Mormonism to their religion–to the detriment of their religion, and then declares that they are ‘not Christian’ because they don’t march by Mormon standards.
WE get that all the time. Constantly. Incessantly.
But we’ve had this conversation before, and as before, you know that for every LDS quote you can find that criticizes another religion (pretty much all more than a century old and countable on one’s fingers…and maybe toes…) I can produce, quite literally, REAMS of quotes from Catholic and Protestants who say the most horrific things about Mormons and Mormonism. Some of those quotes will come from the books that CAF is advertising on the sidebar of this forum. I see, every single day, such insults and attacks upon Mormons and Mormonism that, if we used them on you, would result in such a self-righteous outpouring of indignation that the planet just might stop turning from the sheer force of the outrage.
So…rather admit the very obvious FACT that whatever book this poor lady picked up was NOT the Pearl of Great Price–and that the Pearl of Great Price has no such language in it…and that there is no title written by any member of the church with “Pearl of Great Price” in the title HAS such language in it, you hint, and you intimate, and do the “wink/wink, nudge/nudge…you and I know that the book had “Pearl of Great Price” in the title, even if it isn’t THAT 'Pearl of Great Price.”
…and when I tell you that no, I do NOT 'know that," you get sarcastic–as if
I am the one attempting to pull something. Well, if you know of a book by an LDS author with “Pearl of Great Price” in the title that DOES use such langauge, cough it up. I want the book, the author…the quotes and the page numbers.
If such a book exists, I can only think that you are deliberately setting me up…but OK, if it exists, it will answer the really wierd question that Kathleengee brings up. If it exists, you will have scored quite a point.
I don’t think it exists…and I’m staking quite a bit on challenging you on this issue.
