No, truth is what it is, even if nobody believes it or admits to it. We don’t have the power to invent it or change it or make it go away, even by lashing out at the messenger.

I can see that you are going nuts. Congradulatons! That was my reply to Paul, not to you.

I have only posted once in a Mormon discussion due to the harsh attitudes given towards the posters and church in general. In a break from what seems to be an endless amount of anti-Mormon experiences, here is mine.
I have lived amongst Mormons for some time now, and I can attest to being treated badly by individuals. Yet who am I to judge an entire church based on the flagrant actions (actions that are against their own church I might add) of individuals I have unfortunately had to encounter. Yet on what you Americans call “the flip-side” I have experienced genuine friendship and have great relationships whom I am proud to be friends with. I have two Mormon Bishops as close friends, one of whom calls me his “Catholic Brother from another mother” and the other who reminds me every time I see him that CTR stands for, “Catholics Totally Rock.” Granted, the LDS church is very different than my own, I do not understand nor am I capable of such, yet I have been treated better by some Mormons than members of the dominant rite in my church. And yes, I am Catholic, a Maronite, but Catholic nonetheless. Before you go judging the entire Mormon population (all 12 million of them) realize that we are all sinners, no matter the church, for that is what church is for! Recognize the love of God within everybody, and recognize that you yourself are a sinner, and see where you can go from there.
To all the Mormons who have been civil on these boards, I congratulate you for being able to put up with what my people call things “below the belt.” We Lebanese have a saying, “Love truth, even when it harms you.” I am not saying Mormonism is truth, that would be against my beliefs
, but I am saying keep up against those of my fellow Catholics on these boards who do not represent what their own Church teaches in regards to tolerance and mutual respect; God Bless them nonetheless.
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on us sinners.
Peace and God Bless

So Amgid, is this how you would address SAHMs when you would go knocking on their doors? :nope: You’re starting to sound desperate to prove yourself right about something.
