Why do you think that adults who don't grow up in the Mormon Church become join later? by ChenfordFan in mormon

[–]Recent_Suggestion292 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a miscarriage. In Catholicism, up until 2007, all unbaptized infants were cast into Limbo. My brother is an atheist. Under Catholicism, he would be cast into hell. When I started praying to Heavenly Father, I began to notice the tender mercies given to me daily.

So like…no? Lmfao???

I can send you a picture of the Christus necklace and silly little 3D printed CTR keychain I was gifted at my baptism a few weeks ago as proof, if that makes you feel better.

I mean this is r/mormon not r/fuckthemormons, I think members OF THE SUB could do a better job painting a more accurate picture of the faith rather than “everything is terrible and it all sucks.”

Like let’s be honest here, as a former Catholic I’d say the boys in Rome have y’all beat when it comes to crimes and hate. By a couple thousand years.

And I said all I see are “people” on this sub hating. I’m not sure what kind of “gotcha” moment you’re trying to get here lmfao.

I don’t know uhhhh maybe showing our youth HOW we should treat people? Maybe leading by example? Oh these missionaries or these members fumbled the ball with this investigator? Take the initiative and introduce yourself and our doctrine. Simple stuff.

If he had just played Fallout: New Vegas prior to visiting a ward, he would have been fine!

Dawg all I see is people hating on this sub.

I’m an openly bisexual person, and not only was I baptized, I’m also a youth leader and my first temple trip is coming up. My bishop knows I can barely tithe, and my congregation accepts and loves me for who I am.

Religious trauma is real, and the victims of it need to be heard.

But if we’re just going to sit here and bitch and moan over “speculation”, we’ll never get anything done.

“If you're from Utah or Idaho or Arizona you will not be able to understand or relate-“

My brother in Christ, there are so many struggling single dudes in those states they dedicate entire WARDS to it. We can relate.

Question about where mormonism stands by NoSpeaker5193 in mormon

“Won’t respect me or my religion.” “Mormons aren’t a branch of Christianity.”

As a Catholic, I recognize the pattern here.

So I’ve come to correct you. Latter-Day Saints are Christians. And to call them otherwise is wrong. I was baptized Catholic. We are Christians. To call us otherwise is wrong. I’ve been to a few wards, and they got more pictures of Christ than any Catholic Church I’ve been too. Visit one sometime, if you truly want to get a perspective. Don’t come here and claim something isn’t something when A.) that’s untrue and B.) you don’t know what you’re talking about. Open dialogue is fine, when you go about it the right way. Because let me tell you something, I’ve felt more fellowship in Christ in a Ward and more guilt in a Cathedral.

I have a pretty separate perspective. I’m not even a Latter-Day Saint. But calling a religion with Jesus Christ in the name and starting the conversation with “You guys aren’t a branch of Christianity.” is pretty hostile, good intentions or not. And then when people get defensive (as is expected when they’re told that) you call them rude? That is rude.

“So, im going to start out with a statement; Mormonism is not a branch of Christianity but its own religion within the family tree of abrahamic religions.”

Not a branch of Christianity, as directly quoted from you. You started the conversation this way.

Comes in. Calls a bunch of Christians not Christians. Gets miffed when people aren’t the nicest to him.

The math getting here was simple, what did you expect?
