No offense meant.

I was responding to this quote from Ashleybelle:

"**Good grief!!!

This is exactly why I hesitate when missionaries come to the door… I mean, my husband and I ussually invite them in to dialogue and share beliefs. We like to ask them questions and share our faith with them… But at the same time…I hesitate to even answer the door…because of the terrible stories such as these! "**

It looked like this was the direction the discussion was headed. As I said, no offense meant.

Yeah, well, I don’t answer my door if I don’t know the person. Too many weirdos and just because the two or three strange men standing on my doorstep are in ties with a goofy tag pinned to their pocket doesn’t mean I trust them.

Maybe people living in Mayberry are all ok with opening their doors and letting complete strangers into their house. I’m not.

Of course the Italian Mafia are not Catholics either…?

I think we all have our share of good and bad. Ever heard of someone shot with a rosary around their neck? Man, you gotta watch those Catholics.

Don’t let them in your house! Who knows what they would do?

Maybe molest your kids too!

Give me a break you guys! 😛 😃

I was actually poking fun at the report, not at Mormons on the whole. Mormons have done no wrong to us here in Singapore, even though i vehemently object to their doctrines.

But i forgive you for saying such things; especially when i have a kid of my own.

Yeah, I get that just fine, being from LA where we have REAL Crips and Bloods. I remember during the Rodney King riots driving across the city on the freeway with dozens of fires burning out of control on both sides of the freeway – and the phones were down and the police wouldn’t come even if you COULD get through. Very scary stuff. Total breakdown of civil order.

A few Polynesians with shotguns seems pretty tame from this perspective!
 
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Mormon Crip Gang hahaha

Do they do an “M” walk instead of a “C” walk? haha

They probably call themselves by the term “El” for Elder instead of Cuz.

This is just crazy. They aren’t true Mormons. Probably just cultural Mormons.
 
Well, we have gang members around here that wear Rosaries around their necks, and have big tattoos of Our Lady of Guadalupe. :mad:

They’re about as Catholic as Marx and Lenin. Here’s hoping Our Lady intercedes for them so that their hearts are converted.

Ditto for the so-called “Mormon” gangs. They, too, are about as Mormon as Marx and Lenin.

God bless us all,

Ruthie
 
Polynesian immigrants sometimes have a very hard time with their kids when they move to the mainland U.S.

Back in Polynesia, if your kid gets out of line, you smack them upside the head. If you get mad at someone, it would be perfectly normal to smack them. A relative of mine worked in Samoa for a while, where he was in charge of managing a bunch of buildings. A Samoan guy wanted to schedule one of the buildings for some purpose, but there was no room in the schedule. The guy got so mad that he punched out my relative. In general, people from those parts are very friendly, relaxed, and loving, but they are HUGE, and they play ROUGH.

So when they move to the mainland U.S., the kids can get into a lot of trouble, and it is no longer culturally acceptable to smack them back into line. That’s why a few of these kids end up in gangs when they come to someplace like LA or SLC.

Just saw something last night on the History Channel that the LDS Church in Salt Lake City has a huge problem of a Mormon version of the gang Crip.

They carry the Book of Mormon around with them and they shoot each other.

They have a Street Law that prevents them from killings or fighting each other when their wives/kids are with them because Family is held so highly in the LDS religion.

There is gang graffeti everywhere in SLC.

They have fights, drug dealing, killings, rape, robbery, etc. They call it their “Work”. They also force people to join their gang - they even have a name for it which I don’t recall.

I am from SLC and I saw the same show so you can’t get away with making stuff up.

Bloods and Crips (not Momon) moved into Utah was virgin territory. Since Salt Lake is 50-60 percent LDS, many of the gang recruits were LDS - that’s no different than with other religions. The show talked about some who maintained active Sunday participation in Church but banged during the week with a Book of Mormon in their pocket.

How many? Was that 500? Was to 2? Come on and tell us.
They the gang members also go on LDS Missions - so be very careful about opening your door to LDS Missionaries!

Not a very bright thing to say - is it.
 
i disagree with this thread. this appears no different than talking about the mafia being catholic. gang members regardless of their stated religious denomination are by their actions proving they don’t adhere to either faith.

The posters intent was simply to bash The Church of Jesus Christ.

I wonder why some people are so insecure in their own faith that they think they need to do so.

Mate, we are laughing at how preposterous it is that they claim to be Mormon while being in gangs. Nobody is suggesting that Joseph Smith commanded his followers to get strapped and represent their hood.

Exactly. 👍 You can’t judge a religion by those who don’t live its teachings.

The problem with a lot of Christians is that they don’t want to admit that Mormons are also Christians. I admit that it is very possible that there are Mormons who are members of gangs just as there are members of other religions who are gang members. That does not mean that all Mormons are in gangs. It does show that those who are in gangs are not following the teachings of their church , whether it’s Mormon or another religion.
It would be nice if people would stop trying to find fault with the LDS Church and instead embrace the good teachings of the church.

The problem is not that we do not want to admit it, the problem is that we do not see any evidence of it.
