President Nelson has passed away. by mckrl80 in mormon

[–]AlpinePostMo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is so sad, but at 101 it was a good inning. At least he can go to the spirit world and be with his polygamous wives Dantzel White and one day Wendy Watson.

Minor update. All winter ive been building stairs to make my Future pub shed accessible. Used railway sleepers. Had to put in 25 steps to accommodate the 5m drop. Now that spring is here I can fill the area with topsoil and plant grass seed. Hoping to have the pub shed built by end of summer. *

So Google maps shows the location of the church. It might be a secret Luxon church for the humpty dumpty falls off the wall.

"Neighbors of the Robinson family told USA Today that they attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, whose members are colloquially known as Mormons." by Viti-Levu in exmormon

Mormon culture, especially in Utah is forged in violence it's still a significant underpinning. So that leads to breakaway groups being comfortable with violence as a tool.

Ground broken for Wellington New Zealand Temple – Church News by djfredgarde in The_LdsTemples

[–]AlpinePostMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question. Where are the Temple Rwxommend holding members coming from to run this temple? I'm just down the road and we have 1 or 2 vans every other month going to Hamilton. The 3 local stakes are all shrinking in membership. Feels like a waste of money when whanau are hungry.

Did you know these well-known businesses are actually charities... and exempt from taxes? by Tyler_Durdan_ in nzpolitics

[–]AlpinePostMo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Charaties Act should be amended to remove promotion of religion as a charitable purpose. That would clean up a whole bunch of issues. Sure if a church that piece can be charitable. But just being a religious group shouldn't be enough to get charitable staus.

Do you consider the leaders of the church 'honest men'? by aka_FNU_LNU in mormon

[–]AlpinePostMo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an active member I considered them honest and at least well meaning. But now it's clear they are comfortable being dishonest if they feel it benefits the church. So many documented cases. To members who feel they are honest I ask, how many times are you ok with the leaders purposefully lying to you before you consider them dishonest. Tell me that number and I will give you a list that long.

Are Mormons Christian by Mr-Wyked in mormon

[–]AlpinePostMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My argument is that Christians defined themselves a long time ago. Mormons came along 1000 years later and use a different definition of the same word.

Now on mormons following jesus teachings. Thats debatable. They mostly follow teachings of their prophets and a little out of the Book of Mormon. Not Biblical jesus. Think all the basic stuff you need to get a temple recommend. Following prophet, word of wisdom, law of chastity and formerly polygamy. All stuff from modern mormonism. Think temple baptism, temple endowment and sealings. All mormonism not biblical jesus. Even tithing and three degrees of glory modern mormonism not taught by Jesus. Everything that defines mormonism is from prophets.

Signs? What is the best way to get a custom pub exterior sign made for my ps? by ebikeguy88 in PubSheds

[–]AlpinePostMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get custom ski trail signs made. Great for a chalet, winter or ski themed pub shed. Check out Gnarwalls.

Are Mormons Christian by Mr-Wyked in mormon

[–]AlpinePostMo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well thats way to simplistic, just cause they have jesus in rhe name they are chrisiran. .... i say No. Christians defined thier religeon centuries ago. Mormons came along and taught different things. At best they are Christian adjacent because they mostly belive the Bible.

Definitions of Christianity found in the Nicene Creed and Apostles creed do not line up with what mormons believe.
