These are just good marketing principles. All good sales representatives use these - especially those on commission!
If you find withholding information when you know that information might make someone not buy your product, acceptable, then you are very “honest” indeed.
When Jesus The Christ told his disciples that they would have life if they eat his body and drink his blood, many of his disciples LEFT Him!
I guess YOU would prefer that Jesus The Christ KEPT those “hard sayings” to HIMSELF so he could keep and get more followers.
John 6:56
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
John 6:57
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
John 6:60
Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This SAYING is HARD; who can ACCEPT it?”
John 6:61
Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this SHOCK you?
John 6:66
As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and NO LONGER accompanied him.
Answers,
People go to great lengths to provide misinformation, as you demonstrate repeatedly.
That was not a personal attack.
If you don’t think that saying that “I repeatedly go to great lengths to provide misinformation” is a personal attack, then you are naive, or intentionally trying to make me look bad bacause I said you like to stalk Zundrah and may possibly have caused some Catholics to fall away.
I notice that you waited until now to stick up for ParkerD, probably because of the “wolves preying on sheep” statement, ask ParkerD if he was not talking about the Great Apostasy and that the flock was not spared meaning that there was no true Church until the LDS Restoration, guess who those “wolves” are.
You are just mad becaue of my post about you STALKING Zundrah, and about you criticizing Catholics and defending mormons, thats why you are “engaging” the mormons now, because of my post, since you admitted that you “don’t engage the mormons on the forums”.
All that was said is that what you posted was misinformation. What did you expect? I do the same thing when people post anti-Catholic misinformation. It is nothing personal.
Prove that what I posted is misinformation.
Why do you get to DECIDE what is personal and what is not, are you the next best thing since God?
You posted articles with no message. How was anyone to know that was what you wanted? You posted no question, no query, no statement.
I thought the quotes were self explanatory and people would figure out the connection with the thread title like RC_Matt below with the “milk before meat”, but I guess you could’nt figure it out. Maybe I’ll try to make my posts easier for someone of your level of intelligence to understand.
As far as “preying” is concerned, I think that is a valid comment. Missionaries attempt to sell Mormonism as a Christian faith, which it absolutely is NOT. The “milk before meat” practice, i.e., baptizing converts before they are fully informed of CORE doctrine, results in people being baptized before they are made aware of some of the more peculiar Mormon tenets. This is exactly same tactic employed by Scientology.
I did’nt know you were the MASTER of the internet.
You’ll excuse me if I don’t bow down to your supremacy of the internet.
I find such a position just as offensive as the topic of the thread.
I find you STALKING Zundrah around just so you can be her “holier than thou” corrector OFFENSIVE.
How many other people do you STALK?
If you are so overly sensitive, what are you doing on this thread,
I guess I’m sensitive to “holier than thou” STALKERS and people who may have been responsible for Catholics falling away.
Whether I’m sensitive or not, judge the sin not the sinner.
I ask again (same question but DIFFERENT REASON) are you the next best thing since God that you can decide who is “sensitive” and who is not?
and why are you posting provocative material with no discussion on the content?
As I said, I thought the quotes were self explanatory, RC_Matt figured the connection between the thread title and the “milk before meat”.
You basically asked the same question twice in the same post, a sign of great intellect indeed.
In fact, I think he did the oppposite! I found the reply quite charitable and reasonable.
You have a history of criticizing Christians and defending mormons, that is “shill” behaviour since you declare yourself to be Catholic.
I find this position contentious,
The very nature of DEBATE is CONTENTION.
dictionary.reference.com/browse/contention
con⋅ten⋅tion [kuhn-ten-shuhn]
Use contention in a Sentence
–noun
- a struggling together in opposition; strife.
- a striving in rivalry; competition; contest.
- strife in debate; dispute; controversy.
- a point contended for or affirmed in controversy.
as I have said, the use of the word “lies” does not promote good discussion.
The term used was “misinformation”, which seems less inflammatory.
I guess Jesus The Christ should have used a “less inflammatory” description of the Pharisees when He called them “whitewashed tombs” and "“filled with hypocrisy and evildoing”, he should have said that they were “just misguided” in order to “promote good discussion”. (sarcasm)
But I gotta ask, I just can’t let this one go. How in the heck were there eary Christians before the Apostles and Jesus? Just I can not wait to hear!
