mormon's are sometimes not nice. but i had a mormon teacher in high school and he taught a survival class and we'd all go hiking for 2 weeks on the app. trail. he was really nice and one of the few teachers that liked me, he wasn't a racist. but i know that like, my friend mike goes skiing in utah every winter for a month and he said every time he goes he notices mormon people giving out brochures and he took one, and it was about how it was okay for mormon kids to use violence to protect themselves against gays. even gay people like, just talking to them. it made me think about my clients and made me sad because no one should hit them.

Hi.
I enjoyed the quick-access links to the world's many false doctrines of the world located at the very bottom of the page.

Original Mormon doctrine is totally racist, but they try to play it down and have since excised some of the texts. Sometimes they even try to deny it ever existed.
Characteristics of A Destructive Cult:
While not all groups exhibit all these traits, destructive groups will have many of these characteristics and attitudes:
Authoritarian hierarchal control;
Black and white thinking: either or, we they, us them;
Centralized power structure;
Child abuse and neglect;
Competition with other members or with outsiders;
Conflicting opinions viewed as moral assaults and disloyalty;
Control of information within group environment;
Criticism of group, system or leaders is discouraged;
Different beliefs or ideas are perceived as threatening;
Discrimination (economic, emotional and psychological): race, gender, age, religion, politics;
Effusive praise and flattery for leaders;
Enemy making, a common enemy outside the group: other business groups, other religions, other countries, other life styles, other races;
Fear (or feelings of guilt) about the prospect of leaving the group;
Feelings of superiority and exclusiveness;
Gender-based abuse in any form;
Group becomes like a family and is more important than individual's family and outside friends;
Group has the "truth" (the answers) others don't;
Group (system) mission is more important than the individual;
Group's doctrine repeated over and over, lots of repetitious lectures and meetings;
Group leader(s) are looked to for answers involving personal choices in life;
Labeling: Dissenting members, other groups, and different belief systems are given negative labels/names;
Large pay and power gaps between members and leaders;
Loaded language: the group has its own clichés, jargon and slogans that become simplistic explanations for complex situations;
Missionary consciousness: converting others to group ideology, product, beliefs, trying to persuade others to be like "us";
Need leader(s) permission for everything;
Overuse of plural pronouns: we, us, they, them;
Peer pressure: non group ideas receive icy silence, ridicule, or condemnation;
Propaganda used to persuade members and internalize group ideas;
Public humiliation or embarrassment in any form;
Public sharings, testimonials, confession, witnessing;
Scapegoating within or outside the group;
Secrecy between members or between different levels of a group's structure;
Selfishness is putting yourself above the group;
Strict dress codes, everyone looks alike;
Suppressing legitimate feelings when they do not fit the group's mind set;
The need to be like leaders or like others in the group;
There is always something to do, excessive business;
There is a group explanation for everything;
Thought control: there are "good" and "bad" thoughts;
Unquestioning obedience to authority.

I JERK OFF TO ARCTOPUS
I did once hear a Mormon earnestly say that black people were "burnt angels" once, but she said it very positively and I'm sure she meant no offense!
"endless celestial sex" is a cool phrase.

Hi.
Well, the Mormons did honestly believe that the Indians were originally a tribe from Israel who strayed from God's word and were punished by having their skin darkened and being sent to America. It just puzzles me when such claims are proven false over the years and people still take other things their religion tells them as fact.
So....... yeah.
So....... yeah.

I saw a documentary last night on one of martin luther king's main advisors who was an openly gay quaker.
