Hi:

I am curious as to why you posted your story about leaving the church? Was it just to make your bishop look bad? Had he been your buddy over the years, would you had stayed a member? It sounded that way. You came across to me as a whining little baby. Someone has to hang out with you all of the time to be your friend? A neighbor can't be a friend? Did you guys wave to each other in passing? I suppose this bishop was suppose to chase you around and wipe your butt all the time, huh?

You're as pathetic as the jerks who degrade my religion at General Conference. I watch conference on television because I'd have no problem kicking the crap out of someone degrading what I hold as sacred.

I will give you this, I appreciate your warning on your site. Knowing what people are getting into is helpful and respectful.

Good luck in your search for truth.

What Is Wrong With Teaching Values Of Parents In The Ensign

What is wrong with teaching values of parents in the ENSIGN? With all the sickness in the world, you turn around with your sick mind, and cut down a faith that teach strong families. You need some serious help, Bubba.

You need to find something better to do with your time. You are rehashing things that have been rehashed, and rehashed, and you need to get a life. Your analysis of my faith is totally wrong--based on erroneous assumptions, hearsay and numerous other fallacies and name calling.

By the way, as many cities, downtown core areas are loosing business due to malls out in the outlying area. There is goodness in the LDS coming forth to help build downtown Salt Lake City. You may want to check, but the LDS Church already owns the land in question. For your information, most stores in Salt Lake that are LDS owned (by members) are closed on Sunday. So, what! The Bible teaches to rest on Sunday -- so we are practicing Biblical standards. I see nothing wrong with that. For the LDS church to bring in businesses to help the core area develop, bring in new businesses, students (as with a BYU-Salt Lake Center) is a "good thing." Your attitude is a "sicko" bad thing...and you ought to chill out man. And Bubba, it is common for an organization to give to various causes. You're opinions are wrong that the LDS is not helping people, by building the downtown core area. Another erroneous assumption by your deluded mind. 1. If the church helps business (even NON-LDS businesses) it is helping the poor in Utah, providing jobs, taxes, etc. 2. The LDS Church sends out millions to various relief funds throughout the] world, and not just LDS members. 3. LDS members themselves donate money, time and talents to their communities, and they freely give of their tithing for the church to use (and if the church provides money for the downtown area from tithing -- so what? Big deal. It is helping downtown Salt Lake City get back on its feet. 4. LDS members in need are given church help, which keeps them off of Federal aid. I could go on and on....

Subject: Holy Crap!

Holy Crap!!!

What a bunch of whining, childish, stupidity. Oh, and dishonest too.

To all you mormon hating whiners:

One: You?re not special or new; mormon haters have been around since 1820.

Two: You are not modern day gnostics You don?t have any special knowledge. Most of the your "anti" crap has been around for 150 years; disproved and debunked and exposed as lies over and over again but it doesn?t stop mormon haters from recycling it over and over again. The kinderhook plates? The golden pot? Give us a break! It seems that nothing stops a mormon hater from believing anything that supports his hatred.

Three: Condemning members of the church for their faults is like condemning the patients in the hospital for being sick or injured. If you don?t understand the metaphor, never mind.

Four: "Mormonhaters.net" is available. Why don?t you show a little honesty and change your site name? Unfortunately, the more self-descriptive "Morons.com" is not available to you?pity.

Five: As far as coming back: don?t bother. You will never be able to undo the damage you have done and you will never be able to take back the help you have given Satan in his efforts to destroy this work. You belong to him now. File this Email under "stuff to read while I?m lifting up my eyes in hell"

I hope it?s refreshing to find out that, although most mormons are always ready to offer you the proverbial hand of friendship (which I know you find annoying), there are a few of us who will only offer you a proverbial hand clenched into a proverbial fist and aimed at your proverbial nose. Here?s the math: it?s OK to hate evil; traitors and persecutors of the truth are evil; therefore I hate you.

Bye now.

From: Mm

Blogging the Ex-Mormon and Mormon World?

That's a laugh. Blogging of idiots, maybe.

The subhead should be "Aimlessly Bashing the Mormon World".

Recovery?? That's an even bigger joke. You mean recovery from a moral life back to a do whatever you want one? To a let's hate the Mormons one? I doubt you were ever a serious member. The main articles on the site show no indication of real knowledge of how the church works or what it's members believe.

I mean really. What's with totally unfounded malarky like this?:

Maybe he was laughing so hard at the easy life, he wasn't paying attention? It must be that damn nepotism biting him in the ass or the eye!! Interesting isn't it?!! At least we know that the Church will take care of the bills and surgeries, so no worries there!! At least the Mormon God looks after his anointed in that regard!!

Nepotism is a ridiculous term to use, since no position in the church heirarchy goes to descendants or relations except where earned by longstanding service in the organization, as every member knows.

All that garbage about the easy life?

The Prophet is 95 years old and travels thousands of miles a year in order to keep the church running and to address followers, as well as the umpteen thousand other things he and the other top General Authorities have to accomplish. These guys are all getting on in years and working very hard. I'd like to see you manage that kind of schedule at 95 with the limited amenities of even a 1st class comercial jet, and having to go through all those security checks and everything else involved with world travel. In yer dreams.

And what leader of an organization so large doesn't have perks to simplify his life and work.

I can't believe the completely wrongheaded idiocy of all the nonsense on this site. It's not even an effective anti-mormon site. It seems like an anti-mormon site for really superficial simple minded goobers. Taking literal what's not, vice versa, and both where obvious. It nit picks every little detail as if the church and Prophet are supposed to be flawless. It's sludge.

Take this bit of slop, for instance: I know this is like shooting fish in a barrel, but I just ran across another of Hinkley's statements that just strike me as so obvious he doesn't prophesy, "see," or reveal anything:

(April 2001 General Conference) "I am so grateful that we live in an era of comparative peace. There are no great wars raging across the world. There is trouble here and there but not a great worldwide conflict. We are able to carry the gospel to so many nations of the earth and bless the lives of the people wherever it goes." (Given only 5 months before September 11th)

Just like when he was on Larry King the day before the tsunami struck Southeast Asia, he is oblivious. He should be embarrassed for himself. I can imagine him thinking "Come ON Lord! Just ONCE couldn't you give me a heads up on something?"

Utter BS*. All this proves is that you are either ignoring, or just plain don't know some of the very most basic concepts of church doctrine. I suspect you are intentionally leaving your knowledge or brain behind, because it would show up what stupidity this post was.

According to doctrine of the church, the purpose of a mortal life is partially to be tested. Because of that, it would be antithetical to the purpose of a Prophet to warn everybody of everything bad that was to happen. Not to mention, it would be utterly ridiculous for him to waste all his time prophesying the zillions of bad things coming. It would be more than all the members of the church could do. A thousand, ten thousand, or a hundred thousand prophets couldn't do it.

He is only charged with prophesying, seeing, and revealing those things which are necessary for members to know in order to do God's will and get to heaven.

Nothing and no one is expecting him to foresee everything that's to come. It's obvious when you read what church authorities write, including Joseph Smith himself, that he often only receives knowledge when he first asks God a question. Revelations come in response, as is quite evident from umpteen parts of the Doctrine and Covenants.

As far as the direct quote, note the word comparatively. There truly are no large scale wars going on at this time. You mention 9/11. That's NOT a war. That's an act of terrorism. As for the "war" in Iraq and that in Afghanistan, as you point out, the statement was prior to them. If you weren't just another ticked off dipstick with your head up your ass*, you'd also be pointing out that its very fundamental from prophecy and scripture that the "last days" will be a time of "wars and rumors of wars".

Comparatively, the "wars" in the Middle East are very small. Tens of thousands perhaps being killed in a population of over 6 billion on the planet! Nothing compared to the scale or numbers of WWII with 57,000,000 losing their lives; or in comparison to Viet Nam, or Korea. It's all exactly what he says. "not a great worldwide conflict." Additionally, his statement about the gospel is correct. Many nations have begun allowing missionaries to at least do humanitarian work, if not proselyte.

Your final comment on the quote is utterly assinine, because you are deigning to speak for God. I didn't see where you claim to be a prophet yourself. Yet you imply that either God wants people to know about big bad events to come, or that it's the place of a prophet to reaveal them. Both just WRONG! And any further knowledge, you can't know without knowing the mind of God.

This site is really an utter waste of time and effort. All these "articles" are nothing but one pissed persons' rants and contain nothing of any substance. They don't even remotely show any knowledge whatever of what the LDS church actually believes or what it's members are taught.

What a major-league asshole* you are, sir!

Likewise for the rest of the dimwits who contribute their bullshit* to the pile!

*(ooh, i said bad word. I may be a lousy, innactive church member, but i've been among and around members all my life. It doesn't even take significant inside knowledge to know 90% of this sites content is just flat out bullshit ranting. Even among anti-mormon sites this has got to be the most pathetic i've ever visited.)

I like your title "hatemail". It's pretty close to how I feel but "contempt" might be a little more accurate.

When I deal with those who attack MY church I am often reminded of a not very Christian bumper sticker I once had.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I DRIVE, GET THE HELL OFF MY SIDEWALK.

That's how I sometimes look at those who attack from the outside. If you don't like what we believe and how we govern ourselves then stay away from us. If you don't like the church influence in Salt Lake or Utah then go someplace else or quit chur bitchin. Remember we settled it, we improved it and to a great degree we own it. That includes not only what the church owns but its observant members.

The LDS church is not one filled entirely with gentle souls who would let others walk over them. In fact the majority of them are rather forward and even agressive. A couple of anti-Mormon demonstrators at conference got roughed up a while back and I see the reason for trying to control the demonstrators is to keep even more of them from running into some big, tough crapped off farm boy.

I have found over the years (I'm no kid) that those who leave the church and then attack it are usually (not always) covering fro some real or perceived failure of their own. They are simply losers.

I think of the criticism of the present prophet. I have even on occaision disagreed with some of the policies - I grumble and go along. But I am constantly amazed at a man of his age doing what he does - even with help and resources.

I am absolutely convinced of the truth and divine mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have lived for it, served it and I have always felt the confirmation of the spirit when I am doing what I should be doing and the cold feeling of loss and failure when I don't do what I should.

Is the church perfect? Yes. Will it change? Yes. Why does something perfect need to change from time to time? Because the needs of its imperfect members change and must be met by a loving God and living prophets.

Am I perfect? Not even close, but I'm working on it.

One thing is certain. When those who hate or have rejected the church and I stand before the judgment of God, and we will, I will tell them "I told you so!"

I don't hate for having this site, actually it made me laugh because of all the misinformation and sillyness. I am a former journalist for CNN Headline and WINS network, I am lds (coverted age 12 from NY). My husband as I state below, is a descendant of Joseph Smith. With that said I have access to documents, journals and insights that the average mo doesnt have. But even before this I knew he was a prophet God and the real deal .After viewing and studying for years these journals etc. I believe without an iota of doubt he is a Prophet. A lot of what you say is out of context and very limited thinking. Open your mind, and really research science, math, history and atronomy. Do you really think it is that far fetched to believe in the plan of salvation, visitation from angels etc. eternal progression...If you understood ancient and modern history, you would come to the same conclusion that its all real and true as I have years ago. Instead of pushing it all aside because of the human aspect of the institutional church. I mean the everyday mo's with warts and all~we are all part of the human family and all of us suffer, have joy, get sick, have faults sin etc. I hope that you eventually find what you are looking for. I am surprised at anyone writing with such hate and disdain. I do dislike ignorance, so I'll simply state that ignorance is dangerous. blind ignorance can be a high price to pay. below is my original post as seen on latter day lampoon addressing a poster who was complaining about "and it came to pass."

I certainly don't hate you and feel strange sending this under the banner of hate mail, but feel the need to protest the assertion that my dad, Kim Clark, left Harvard for BYU Idaho because of greed. You put forward the opinion that my dad did this because he hopes some day to rise to higher levels of LDS leadership and be on easy street. Easy street? You are misinformed. The life of the Dean of HBS is much more luxurious than that of President of BYU Idaho, of even a member of the First Presidency. But that aside, I know my father and he is not a man motivated by greed, nor is he a brainwashed fool. I am familiar with the many issues that your site has with Mormonism and am not bothered at all by your airing of those issues. However, I feel that to seek to smear the integrity of someone you do not know because of their religious beliefs is wrong. There are ways to put forward your complaints with Mormon doctrine and how the church is run, I would simply suggest that you refrain from personal attacks unless you have firsthand experience with the individual.

Best Regards,

Bryce Clark

Love Letters From Daniel C. Peterson

Dear Brother Infymus:

Our exchange is now up on the SHIELDS web site. The public can see how mean, vicious, dishonest, and unreasonable I am, and, by contrast, how committed to truth, kindness, painstaking research, and reasonable discussion you are.

With best wishes,

Dan Peterson

Dear Infymus:

I was just pointed to your blog, and found it interesting. When I get some time, I'll read through all of the stuff that you have there about me.

However, in the meanwhile I would like to correct a misstatement at your site: "Daniel C. Peterson," you say, "is paid directly by the Mormon Church to contradict, counteract, suppress, withhold and dismiss any claims made by persons outside the LDS Church."

This is not true.

First, I'm not paid "directly by the Mormon Church" at all. I'm paid by Brigham Young University, as are all other professors and staff at the University (including those who are not Latter-day Saints). Thus, at best, I'm indirectly paid by the Mormon Church. This is less dramatic than your formulation, but it’s more accurate.

Second, no part of my salary -- absolutely none, not a dime -- comes from my apologetic undertakings. I am a professor of Islamic studies and Arabic at Brigham Young University, situated in the Department of Asian and Near Eastern Languages:

http://asiane.byu.edu/arabic/index.ph...

Additionally, I am the founder, editor-in-chief, and director of the University's Middle Eastern Texts Initiative:

http://meti.byu.edu/

Formerly, I was also the director of the Center for the Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts, overseeing projects to digitize manuscripts in the Vatican Apostolic Library, in various monastic libraries in Lebanon, and elsewhere, as well as our on-going work on creating electronic databases for the Dead Sea Scrolls. I have, however, now turned that responsibility over to another.

My salary comes from these activities. I receive no salary whatsoever from dealing with critics of Mormonism.

I trust that you will correct your misstatement soon. I’m sure that you’re committed to truth and accuracy.

With best wishes,

Daniel Peterson

I suppose I will have to put it here...

Why are you so utterly clueless about translation (or literature) to think that "Adieu" is an inappropriate word for the BofM?

"Adieu" appears frequently in 19th century American literature. The BofM is translated into 19th century American English. Therefore, it is OK to use "adieu" in the book!

This is not complicated people. It doesn't require Dan Peterson's erudite abilities in Mideastern languages to tell you this. Whatever the term was in Jacob, if it meant, God be With You Till We Meet Again (in the afterlife), then "adieu" is perfect. (At least when FARMS waves its Webster's Dictionary, it is using real logic, unlike your logic-free objection that "adieu" is stupid, because, well, its stupid.)

If you want to slam Joseph Smith and the Mormons, and everyone else of us for being idiots, that's fine with me. BUT USE A REAL ARGUMENT! Please!

Idiot

Yours sincerely,
David Farnsworth

I saw your site. You're quite a warped little perv aren't you. I'm almost ashamed that you were born Canadian. To bad you couldn't get rid of some your skousenism type thinking and stick to doctrine and truth.

Editor Note: Sorry James, but I'm not Canadian. I was born and raised in the heart of Mormonism, Salt Lake City. I was a Mormon in the heart of Mormonism for 15 years. I currently live and work in Salt Lake City - just a block away from the COB. Thanks for your comments.

You weren't taught racism in your youth.
You were taught it in the world.
The world teaches racism and even blacks are reverse
taught it. Take a look at the black side of racism.
Look for the good in all people.
The difference from you being black or white is a dot
on the passage of time.
When you return to your higher power you won't be
white or black and this is all going to NOT matter.
So don't waste your precious time worrying about it.
I'm a Mormon and I love you

Editor Note: Doesn't it creep you out when Mormons say they love you?

I cant believe that you put these things on your website. Did you used to be a mormon? Couldnt live up to the standards of the church? Now you want to expose the falsehoods so you can feel justified for your weaknesses? The only people who try to fight against the church are those who at one time knew the church was true but somehow become incensed. well, thats too bad. Stop trying to justify your sins by trying to prove the church wrong, youll never feel truly good about what you are doing. thanks for your time.

Read your hate mail about the mormons...I don't agree with you. In my perspective they are the most correct church in what they teach,

I have met several of them and they are clean upright people that don't find time in their lives to bash anyone. If you are so unhappy...get professional help.

I am sure they didn't put a gun to your head to join in their beliefs. Seems to me you need to demean someone to feel good about yourself. If you are a secure person in what you belief, there is no need to belittle others of their beliefs. Again, you need professional help in whatever really ails you, it's not the mormons and their beliefs...it might be something deeper.

The only think you are gaining here is the curiosity of people who are seeking the true church and you are driving them to investigate the mormon church. Hooray for you on that. If you don't respond to this email could it be because, "you don't have the b_ _ _s?

Get a LIFE.

You will have a heavy price to pay at judgement day...boy.

Why would anyone patronize your site when it's painfully obvious that you don't have the capacity to figure out who the posters are much less what their affiliation is before you lash out at "all of these Mormons"? Do you expect people to be interested in anything you produce?

You aren't interested in discussion, truth or issues. You are simply a loose cannon looking for an LDS target to hit, even those that you manufacture in your own mind.

Do you honestly expect those who wish to contribute to the mutually shared goal of this forum to sit idly by while you post adolescent prank images without protesting them?

Perhaps you take pleasure in posting "soft porn graphics" on internet forums while you count your beers however, there are those who will not lend their screen name nor be affiliated with a board that is being presented to LDS as carrying "soft porn graphics" and that includes me.

Keep the garbage on your own site where it belongs.

"Hello Again Loser" From Christopher Brown

Hello again

Did you enjoy your holiday? Go anywhere nice with your placard like Salt Lake City did you? Pick up any fresh new converts? No...what a shame!

Maybe you will see them in hell along with Cain and Judas Iscariot.

What really rankles (sorry do you know what that word means) with me is that all of your so-called evidence against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is either old or just plain stupid. The Spaulding Manuscript is as old as time itself. If you ever read the thing (which I have out of curiosity) you would know that it bears no resemblance to the Book Of Mormon. Just another ignorant, stupid, BRAINWASHED Mormon, huh.

What problem do you have with the Church? What gives you the right to give people WRONG advice? Do you get a kick out of kicking the Church?

All of the false doctrine you use is either out-of-date or nonsensical. All of it is used in Anti-Mormon Doctrine which I have seen plenty of in my time as full-time missionary. For your information I AM NOT BRAINWASHED!!! Neither am I deluded. I am a perfectly rational human being who thinks that this website is crap and should be kicked off the net. I suppose that would be out of the question due to the amount of people that need your 'help'and the profit you get from setting up this site. You are just as bad as the Pharisees in Jesus' time if not worse because you knew the truth and turned away from it. Not only that but you have decided to take it upon yourself to turn on the Church as if it is either evil or confused in its doctrine. The point is that it is neither of those things. You are not the original critic of the Church and you certainly would not be the last.

At the end of the day, mate, you will be the one on the losing side. Not us. So why don't you just give up the fight.

Chris

p.s. I have actually seen your profile on the web and you are just the type I thought you'd be. By the way, if you want to teach your children correct principles get back to Church

Reply with an intelligent answer this time, if you can

Yours insincerely

Chris Brown

Very convenient. Especially since you are helping the obviously emotionally sick and deluded members of The Church Of Jesus Christ get over themselves and see the light (or not as the case might be). Someone once said on your website that if they didn't believe in The Gospel they wouldn't believe in God at all.

Yeah, that's great logic, that is. Back in the 30's a group of European intellectuals came to the same conclusion (including Sartre and Salvador Dali). They wanted to find the true meaning of life but excluded God from the start. As a result, these 'learned' men got a bit confused. Some of them killed themselves trying to find the meaning of life.

SO what does that tell me. There were no well meaning bishops 'harrassing' them. No home teachers trying to do what's right by reaching out. Only themselves and nothing else.

I am a returned missionary who has been through a lot in my life. My faith and testimony has been tried like anybody else's. What I can't understand is why any returned missionary or long-standing member can get so emotionally hung up over little insignificant points of doctrine.

It annoys me to think that somebody like you has the audacity to claim that you are helping people with struggling testimonies when in reality you are nursing an old hurt and want to strike out at the Church of Jesus Christ. You will come off loser. This is the last you will hear from me so post this on your hate mail if you want. I don't care!!!!

All the best

I'll be happy to add to your hatemail. You're a fucking idiot. I enjoyed browsing your site and strengthening my testimony though. Was a great way to end my sabbath after coming home from a mission homecoming. At what point in your life did you commit adultery and deny the truth???? The scriptures tell me that that is most likely exactly what you did.
