My Cousin Angela suggested a Church to go to the Mormon Church in Lancaster, CA that would help me to relocate to another county because of an ex's abuse toward me and my children.
I attended a couple of services and partook in their communion services as well. Well it had something in the water they were giving out because it felt as though it like a tranquilizer of drug of some sort. A strange feeling came over me whenever I drank the water they were giving out to the Members. Nevertheless, My cousin Angela suggested I go in and speak with the Bishop to get help to relocate to Northern CA, Tehama County. So I did. When their Members, only men, no women, were coming to my house, they kept wanting me to say Joseph their leader was a prophet sent from God. I did not. When they helped me relocate they told me to check in with their Church in Tehama County. So I did
I attended once and got a very uncomfortable feeling. So I stopped atending, nevertheless, they continuted to come where I lived and kept harassing me into saying there Leader was a Prophet sent from GOD, well I did not, I moved to another apartment and they kept following me where ever I went or moved and continued to harass me into a saying this.
I never did, the only Prophet Joseph, was, is a profit of money from his members giving up oney from their pay checks. It was very parciular, there was never a woman sent, only men, not one woman from their Church harassed me, only the men recruiters for their Church.
They are wolves in sheep's clothing and just want members to give up money from their paychecks to support what ever purpose they want it for. This is how they make their money, the Church Heads don't work, they get money from the Members so they don't have to work.
The only prophet I see in this Church is the profit they get from Members hard earned money. It is just a scam, and they have their own Bible, they took parts of the King James Version and put it into their own version, which is plagerism.
Plagerism is against the Law, you cannot use someone else's idea for your own...
Wow, you must be a member. No I didn't use them at all. I actually welcomed them into my home and fed their members because they claimed they did not have food or other means to support their missionaries. The person being used was me, and harassed on a regualr basis and being forced into something against my will.
I don't answer to Mormon's I answer to God. Maybe you should do the same!
There are only 2 kinds of fruit, that that is good and that that is bad. Which one will you choose? I have been to many churches throughout my life beginning in Childhood. There are those that talk and there are those that walk. You either "Bare Good Fruit" or you "Bare Bad Fruit".
As you can see, there are those that bare good fruit and there are those that don't. Just read the comments...All I did was put the truth of what happened to me, and look at what has become of it. Who sounds like a "Phycho" to you? There are some in the churches that did not hurt me, but there were other's that were just ruthless, just to get what they want. No I don't Judge I just do the writing of what is true and what is not...All I was doing was visiting and this is what came of it...I am only a simple messenger...
Read the book by Jon Krakauer "Under the Banner of Heaven" for a complete and frightening history of the mormons. I started taking a detour to work so I wouldnt even have to drive by a "temple" after reading this. I especially like how you can "buy" your dead relatives a safety pass to heaven, just in case they weren't mormon...
I can't believe someone would bad mouth any organization that would help them relocate... Fyi. The mormon church does a lot to help their members in need... From paying rent, providing cloths and food. For ### sake, they helped your ### when the only reason you went to them was for help... There was a reason your friend referred you to them.
No wonder your ex beat your ignorant ###.. Probably couldn't stand how ###ing ungrateful you are.. I'm sure he took care of you in several ways including financially and you still found things to ### about.
One more thing, your surprised that people came to your house to preach their beliefs? ... I wonder where they got some crazy idea that you were interested in converting? ..., oh, you probably went and begged and pleaded for their help and told them that you wanted to be taught and join their group...
###ing ungrateful ###
you are ignorant uneducated people spreading lies about a respected church. you are the liars and deserve to go to hell like all of you will.
I have finally found the most ignorant website on the internet. Here.
First: The original poster of this thread is without a doubt the most ungrateful person I have ever heard of. Where do you think the funds came from to pay for your relocation? It came from the MEMBERS of the Church you are so intent on bad mouthing. I am not surpised that your water tasted funny at Sacrament. It probably turned to poison because your heart is so black. Maybe next time you need to move you should call Obammie. I'm sure he will help you out.
Second: The name of the Church is The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints. The reason we do not believe in the Trinity is because Christ never said anything about the Trininty. When Christ was baptized, Heavenly Father spoke saying "This is my Son with whom I am well pleased" and the Holy Spirit decended from heaven in the form of a dove. This is three distinct personages. It doesn't get much simpler than that. The concept of the Trinity came from the Council of Nicea over 300 years after Christ's death in order to solve a political delimma realting to Constantine's acceptance of Christianity for the entire Roman Empire. From this we get the great "[censored] of Babylon" aka the Roman Catholic Church.
It sounds like to me that the original poster is just a user and wanted to use the Church for her own purposes. This is the same as the people that come to Church once a month when they need food (which the Church distributes for free) but who basically can't be bothered any time they don't need something. In the LDS Church, about 10% of the members account for about 90% of the Church welfare all the time. This lady just takes the cake, IMHFO.
First off, before you bash someone or something, do the research FROM THE SOURCE. If you want to buy a Chevy, do you go to a Ford Dealership and ask them about the Chevy trucks? No. I am a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are not crazy and quite frankly, when you learn everything that the Church REALLY teaches, you will want it for yourself! Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God. The Book of Mormon expounds and testifies of what the Bible teaches! If you would ACTUALLY read it, you would find this out for yourself! I have! I'm not stupid, I'm not blind, no one held a gun to my head and made me believe this. I did the research, asked God the Eternal Father in the name of Christ if it was true, and I got an answer! I feel sorry for you people who hate something so amazing. But DO NOT bash on something that you do not know.
I feel very sorry for you having fallen prey to a religious cult like the Mormons. They are not a nice lot, at least they are extremely nice until you become a member and then they start showing their teeth. Come into my web said the spider to the fly – that sort of thing! They will harass you to say that Joseph Smith is a true prophet, that the Mormon church is the one true church, that you give your testimony, that you pay the tithe, that you give them one tenth of your time whether you are terribly ill and in a deep coma or not, if you do not go to church they will keep on coming to your house even if you ask them not to and even if you tell them that you have left the church they will send you upsetting letters and keep on coming as if you are still a member, etc. ! Welcome to the Mormons!
You say that something happened to you when you took the sacramental water. I am not sure whether you think that there was something in the water or whether you had a religious experience. If you think that it was a religious experience, this is all right. Jesus takes anyone who comes in contact with him and you would have had this experience in which ever church you happened to be when you were asking the questions that you were asking or whatever it was that was going on in your head at the time. People have these experiences in whatever church they happen to be in and is nothing new. There are a lot of very faithful people in the Mormon church who are innocent lambs just like you. However it is not a good church and its teachings are false. Regarding their law of tithing, it is a universal religious practice, in what ever of the worlds major religions one belongs to give alms (ie charity) as part of their devotional practice. The Jews used to give a tenth of their income to the temple. Jesus did away with the burdensome Jewish religious laws. The Bible is open to your interpretation. It becomes burdensome if they insist that people pay this amount. However, the Mormons and other evil cults go after this idea with a great deal of enthusiasm and efficiency. They keep a record of how much each member has given and pursue people who have not paid. They want you to pay to pray and miss the spirit of this act of devotion. They promise untold blessings if you do, but you need to pay for each blessing that you get! There is something definitely demonic in the way that they go after people who do not pay the Tithe. I think that it is partly jealousy, if they have to do it everyone else must do this as well. Perhaps they should also shave their heads and prostrate themselves before the alter or hang themselves from meat hooks to further their religious devotion, why should it stop at paying Tithes? Many people give everything they have to the church. If they are not doing this they are not doing enough! You should give what you feel like giving to whomever, whatever charity and whenever you want to. No one should feel that they have to pay to pray and the better churches do not force people to donate, but the churches do need support to survive. It is free to pray and you will be blessed whatever you choose to do. If you feel that you do not want to, do not do it, because this is a big spiritual tease. I hope that you do not start feeling peculiar if you don’t.
I mean no one has to pay Tithes anymore, Jesus sets us free!
Jesus freed us from the curse of not paying the Tithe. The Jewish Tithe was 10% of income plus charitable donations plus a curse if you don’t pay. Some churches now refer to the church donations and collections as “tithes” (ie giving but not tithing), it can be of any amount, but this must be strictly voluntary, in secret and it is unchristian to demand it. The poor are excused as the money partly goes to help them. This is all in the New Testament from the Apostles.See - http://bible-truths-revealed.info/adv15.html
I attended one of the Tongan Young Adult Ward. Basically, the Branch President and the whole entire ward are related to the young woman I've been dating for 6 months. Her and I broke the Law of Chasity and that is when things got worse. Basically I caught her talking to another guy on the phone. I got so angry that I punched her and I was arrested. Stayed in county jail for five days but I prayed she wouldn't press charges. My prayer was answered and I made it out. Then I went to church on Sunday to confess and apologize to all her family and ward. Basically, one of the cousins punched me in the face on the Oakland Temple church. I was trying to make peace but I'm no longer going to church because all of that.
I was punched on the jaw on Temple grounds by another church member. The Young Adult Tongan ward in Oakland, California. I'm not going back because I don't trust that member anymore. I feel threatened.
I use to a Mormon. To be worthy enough to enter the Temple. They ask if you have kept the law of chastity and kept the word of wisdom. And if you have any issues with other family members and I still didn't receive my Temple Recommend. Who are this so called men of God to say you are worthy to enter the Temple? You don't live in my shoes! Don't judge me. You don't need Gold ceiling to speak to God. You don't need a big spacious building full of Gold graving to speak to God. Only God can judge me. all brain wash. Only God knows my heart if there is a God.
I don't believe in the Mormon church. Doesn't mean I'm with Satan now. It means that Mormons are a cult and don't get caught up in it.
There have been murders of inmates at Washington County Jail in Washington County, Utah. The mormon leadership, at the very least, knew this was happening. They had witnesses in the jail and most of the employees are probably mormon. I also witnessed satan worship at that jail in full view of the guards. I consider this an attack on my spiritual salvation. They wanted me to surrender my soul to that. Also, a group of male guards taunted me with sadistic threats of a sexual nature for hours. The only reason I survived that jail is because God saved me to tell the truth about what that church has really been about. They arrested me because i was trying to protect my 16 year old daughter from them. They are worse than the fundamentalist polygs who marry and impregnant children. Brigham Young was a vile man who ordered the massacre of hundreds of innocent people including children. When the vilest men are exalted the wicked walk on every side. No one in this states leadership has stood up for the truth. Washington County attorney office said they did an investigation but they did not ask me for the description of even one employee or interview the witnesses that I told them about. Utah is a part of America and is answerable to the laws of the land and our constitution.
No one should defend or serve that church because it is being condemned by the truth.
Joseph Smith says Bring’em Young. (And if you did, he’d just pull Old Testament King David’s trick and get you sent off to your death in the name of mission work so he could have them all for himself). Between the inbreading from polygamy and down wonder syndrome from nuclear testing, it’s no wonder Mormons are total [censored].
