This is what I have as my new facebook status:
"Dear LDS friends and family:
Despite my constant requests, you continue to clog up my newsfeed with your "every member a missionary" semi-annual annoy people to Mormonism campaign. Please, go clean your chapels and watch your new temple movie and focus your energies on your holy busy work that assists the world in no way whatsoever. You are all blocked until further notice."

The fact that I even have to make this a public status should show not just my FB friends, but the gaggle of septuagenarians whose stupid idea this was, that this facebook proselytizing isn't working out. Why can't they just go back to posting recipes of high-fat, high-carb casseroles?? That was far less annoying.

Did you really block them? Because if you did, they won't be able to see your status.

In fact, yes. A friend posted excerpts from "the book of Mormon" Broadway play all over my wall. :-) she knows me too well.

I got so sick of one of my nephew's FB postings publicly lambasting my sister for leaving TSCC that I cut and pasted on his preachy little FB profile the following quote from Joseph Smith:

"Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet...When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go." (History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 408, 409)

He and his bride unfriended me. All I did was post his beloved profit's own words. Was that so wrong?

;-)

I should follow in your footsteps.
I will get out my journal of discourses!! That is a compendium of stupidity if ever there was one! And how can they disagree or argue? After all, it is the "prophet"!!

No offense but that's freakin stupid! It's so ridiculous how they get offended when you post direct quotes of what their FOUNDER and PROPHET said!!

We just need to say "Don't get offended at the person that posted it. Get offended at the prophet!" It's the strangest logic I've ever seen!

Logic has nothing to do with it. It's loyalty.

It's tempting to re-friend my TBM friends and family so I can reoffend them. My initial offense was to post my five favorite Book of Mormon racist scriptures with no commentary. I guess the Book of Mormon qualifies as anti-Mormon literature. According to my former friend, "Those scriptures are not taught, and you know it!"

Hold your nose...
1Nephi 13:15 And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles, and they did prosper and obtain the land for their inheritance; and I beheld that they were white, and exceedingly fair and beautiful, like unto my people before they were slain.
2Nephi 5:21 And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.
Alma 3:6 And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren, who consisted of Nephi, Jacob, and Joseph, and Sam, who were just and holy men.
Jacob 3:8 O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours, when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God.
Jacob 3:9 Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, which is the word of God, that ye revile no more against them because of the darkness of their skins; neither shall ye revile against them because of their filthiness; but ye shall remember your own filthiness, and remember that their filthiness came because of their fathers.
3 Nephi 2:15
And their curse was taken from them, and their skin became white like unto the Nephites.

So.... it wouldn't be considered politically correct in Utah to call my mormon native american neighbor: "my former white-skinned brother"?
