Mormons: What was your favorite General Conference talk?

Elder Bednar is fast becoming my favorite.  His talk "And Nothing Shall Offend Them" really hit home.

My favorite is Hebrews 4:16:  "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."  This verse is my favorite, because it is so comforting.  It reminds me that even during hard times, I'm not alone, and that God is always there.

Who says mormons will be there?

Wow - Brother Jed - there's a blast from the past.  (The alt.brother-jed usenet group FAQ is linked below.)\n\nI was sitting in the sun on the quad one day, studying for a freshman physics midterm, when I overhead the start to my favorite BroJed sermon.  It began something like:\n\n"You do not eat pizza through your ear.  Similarly, you do not drink through your nose..."\n\nJed had quite a few brilliant insights into the proper, natural uses of orifices.  They were all part of his anti-gay sermon.  I was, of course, intrigued, because I had seen many examples of nose-drinking during my grade school days.\n\nIf I remember correctly, the sermon broke down within a few minutes, with Jed just shouting, "you are all fornicators!" at everyone.  Sigh - my engineering friends and I wished we were so lucky.

Mormon isn't true because the Holy Bible was the only book that contained God's words. Jesus said that no one should make any changes to God's words.

Hi there!  It's me again!  \nYou know, I think the thing to look at in the Mormon religion is again, the verifiable concrete stuff. (no pun intended ha ha ha)\nDid you know that while archeologists use the bible to find places and things (Rockefeller used the bible to locate OIL, remember Noah and the PITCH he used on the inside and outside of the ark?  DING?!?!? ) they have been QUOTED saying that they have tried finding the places mentioned in the Book of Mormon and THEY CAN'T FIND any of the sites.  And Joseph Smith said that the new Jerusalem would be built in the midwest and, like it never happened.  ANd he said that Native americans were a lost tribe of the Hebrews.  And thanks to DNA testing it was like completely shot down too.\nNOW do Mormons suck?  NO WAY!!!??!!! Not at all but are they deceived?  YES  The reason I say this is again.  DUDE if you are a Prophet of GOD.  YOU don't get ANY prophecies wrong.  You don't have gramatical errors in your text.  And DUDE you are not MORE HOLY because of the special underwear bro.  \nNOW Joseph Smith mentioned stuff about concrete, COOL.  I'm glad he got that right but sad that it would bring someone to believe that he would have the answer of how to get closer to God.  Mormons are very wonderful thoughtful people.    But so are Christians and NO Mormons are NOT Christians.  They do not believe that Jesus did the redemptive work at the Cross. And that it's WORKS that gets you to your own planet when you die.  WHAT?!?!?\nYes, that's right I said it. PLA-NET. Here's the thing Texas Toast.  I don't know what church you have been attending, but you know what it looks like they havent been teaching you the TRUTH.  That Jesus LOVED PROSTITUTES AND MURDERERS and SINNERS, His Apostles DISSED HIM until AFTER He was resurrected and appeared to them.  He's not the JERRY FALWELL loving-tie wearing- O'Reilly watching-Republican.  He loves me a SINNER and YOU and the MORMONS too!!!!, and by His death I am able to come before a HOLY GOD and say WHASSSS-UPPPP!!!  \nThis is sooooo cool that you want to ask questions and think about who it is that you are Worshipping and praying to.  RIGHT ON!  Don't give up and keep asking questions and the REAL GOD will stand up!

When my Mormon father passed away, we had a wonderful cerimony in our Ward's/Stake chapel.  Please consult with your Bishop or Stake President to find out what the practices are in your area.  A non-demoninational church would most likely welcome your group as well, especially when it affects the student community.

I actually had a conversation with him the other day.  He's a close personal friend of mine.  He's really a lot more talkative than they make him out to be in the Bible and he doesn't always talk in parables.

So what!  I saw something from the Mormon church that shows President Bush is related to their founder.  I don't think he's a Mormon.  One of my great grandfathers was an official in the Soviet Government but my mom isn't a Communist.  Well sometimes the way she acts towards me Maybe just Maybe she is!!.  lol lol just joking.  Also what's the Skull and Crossbones club.  It sounds like a club my younger brother might be interested in joining (my boyfriend Jamie too).  They both act real juvenile sometimes (oops they are juvenile lol lol).

My favorite quote ever, "if good old fashioned American English was good enough for Jesus and the apostles it's good enough for me" \n\nMy history prof was traveling to Russia and his buddy asked him to pick up a KJV in Russian for him-- there are so many problems with that request, I don't know where to start- HA!

Please read. \n\nI am a convert to the Church, having joined my senior year of high school. It has now been 16 years of blessing after blessing from the Lord for that decision. During all of those 16 years, I have read and re-read the Book of Mormon countless times as well as the other standard works and tried to live by their teachings. My testimony of the Book of Mormon is that it is God's word and work and it is true. You still get that burning in your bosom because despite what any critic says because the Church is true!\n\nAs far as the anti-mormon claims on this site, I agree that we should study and investigate OUR FAITH, not someone's mis-interpretation of our faith. Studying anti-mormon literature is hardly worth the effort and its sole purpose is to create doubt and lead people away from Christ. Many such sites simply isolate, twist doctrines or blatantly lie about the church. A great site for explanations to many such claims can be found at: http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/\n\nYou must remember, however, that the witness from the Holy Ghost is infinitely more valuable then any proof that man can provide. \n\nHaving said all of that, I will address some of the criticisms of the website to help you see that they are not as substantial as they appear. Nor could the Bible stand up to many of the same standards that they use to measure the Book of Mormon and the church.\n\nThere were no figs in America yet the Book of Mormon mentions figs (3 Ne 14:16). This is actually a great piece of evidence in favor of the historicity of the book of Mormon.  Since the Nephites came from Jerusalem, where they have figs, it would make perfect sense that they talk about them. The website does not mention Jacob 5 which talks about olives. The Nephites did not have olives, nor could Joseph Smith have had the knowledge he did to discuss, in accurate verifiable detail, how to care for and graft olive trees. Why mention only the things that they think will cause doubt?\n\nSince the site mentions breatplates, I will touch upon this briefly. I showed a film to my Spanish class today on the ancient Mayan civilizations. One of the first things that they discussed was how the Maya people, until recently, were seen as a peaceful people (one of archaeology’s errors). Evidence has been found of massive warfare. Cities with bunkers of dirt have been located and described as far back as Cortez himself (all of which support the Book of Mormon). The host of the video then shows a Maya carving of a warrior and points out, none other than, his breastplate. Much of the information on your anti-mormon site has long since been repudiated by current archaeologists.  \n\nThe witnesses are another good example. This website claims that the Book of Mormon is false because they apostatized from the church and may or may not have had other problems (I do not see isolated quotes, taken out of context from an anti-Mormon site as reliable). \n\nIs the Bible then also false because some of its prophets and leaders were unfaithful? The prophet Balaam disobeyed God and compromised the ancient Israelites and was killed.  Aaron allowed the Israelites to build a golden calf and worship it. Paul persecuted the Christians. Jonah failed to preach to the people of Nineveh. Peter denied Christ three times. Thomas didn't believe Christ could resurrect, even when Christ was standing right in front of him. Judas betrayed the Savior. All of these offenses seem much more serious than those of the Three Witnesses, yet we unquestioningly accept the bible. Christ was perfect, no one else. This is no reason to discredit the Book of Mormon. \n\nThis site claims that the lack of archaeological evidence as a reason to discredit the Book of Mormon. This only shows their lack of knowledge about archaeology in the ancient Americas. It is in an embryonic state when compared with the amount of time that similar research has been conducted in biblical lands. Only a very small pe

My brother is a Mormon (LDS). I've heard the strangest things about how they sacrifice animals and they have more than one wife (not true of LDS - only of fundamentalist Mormon denominations, which are few and far between), and they are so annoying and this and that on and on. When I hear people talk about them, I usually just listen and say, "Really?" every now and then until they are finished. Then I tell them that my brother is a Mormon. That usually produces a Kodak moment :) \n\nI don't agree with the Book of Mormon (see link for good reasons why) or some of the doctrines, but neither have I ever met a Mormon that I didn't like. Even Trey Parker and Matt Stone were man enough to portray them as really nice and loving people.

What is Abduladu interest in this woman?\nI notice most of his post are pro-Mormon.\n\nTell me Abduladu are you Mormon?\nHave you been on a mission trip?\nDo you know this lady?\nAre you or do you know Matthew Vanderpool?\n\nWhat she did was wrong but the brand of compassion you and other Mormons are showing her, doesn’t speak well of your church either.\n\nYou must admit it is a questionable practice to send young boys un accompanied by a female into homes of unsuspecting stay at home moms\n\n2 Tim 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,\n3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,\n4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;\n5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.\n6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,\n7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.\n\nProblems like this arise all the time as a result of that practice. You might do better to reconsider the practice than to condemn this lady. One can hardly help but imagine what Jesus would do. My suggestion is that only the Mormon who is without sin throw the first stone.\n\nAs for you joann_46er, you would do better to forget this boy, repent of what you have done, pray the forgiveness of your husband and kids even if he doesn’t take you back. If you confess your sins and ask him, God will forgive you. This will hurt for a long time but you will get over it. Be responsible and take the results of your acts as deserved outcomes. Be humble and contrite. Who knows your husband with Gods grace and power and time might be forgiving. Many who have read your post are praying for your forgiveness’, your reunification with your family if that is Gods will and His grace in your life. More importantly you should join us in praying for the best possible outcome for your children and husband.\n\n2 Tim 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,\n3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,\n4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;\n5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.\n6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,\n7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
