@_pipdid@VVenerabilis even if we may not agree on everything, i do appreciate you taking the time discussing this with me. also if i didnt treat you with the proper dignity, could you let me know as well, i dont want to be hateful or be mean when i try to discuss things, no one deserves that.
@redeemed_zoomer i try and talk with them and they dont seem to care about JSjr's crimes and false prophesies. they think that he's still a prophet despite all of the problems in bom, and dodge the question everytime i bring it up
@_pipdid@VVenerabilis what part of what i said isnt true? did he not abuse women? did he not claim that God would destroy congress? i understand mormons recieve undue hate but you and your beliefs are 2 very seperate things
@_pipdid@VVenerabilis so are you saying despite his false prophecies, deception, abuse of women and all other things that people have against him and bom, you still trust him?
@_pipdid@VVenerabilis but should we follow people that have false prophecies? what would you say makes his testimony worth believing in spite of his flaws?
@VVenerabilis@_pipdid then why do you choose to follow him? hes had numerous false prophecies, the book of abraham was shown to be funerary texts, not to mention the contrary archeological evidence. he was not even a moral person. the efficacy of bom rests on his testamony, so what do you see in him?
@_pipdid sure but can you learn about the outside world like i described while on mission? take it from an outsiders perspective, it comes off like they dont want the missionaries being exposed to critique, what reason is it that way? its good they let you talk with family tho
@_pipdid@MrEmilyGDawn it was also written by a 19th century treasure hunter that had 40 wives and read words in a hat off a magic rock as well as gold plates of a lost tribe of israel found in upstate new york, and you should see what it says about black people. dont compare that book to the bible
