Ahh ... there's nothing like a little Mormon "love" to lighten up your day!I just thought that for your personal amusement, I would share some of the comments that Mormons have felt the need to write me ...
A fine display of how a "Christ-like" attitude can warm the hearts of those evil, shallow apostates!
I'll continue to add to this post, as time goes on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------" ... you stupid faget ass prick ... asswipes like you you piece of shit ... wow u are pathetic you go and make up the crap to try and make a good people loom bad. wel let me tell you something YOU SUCK ..."
" 'Galatian23': Why are you such a bitter person. Had you committed a sin to be cast out of the Church... like your brother Satan did. Sounds like you've joined his cause, and forgotten about Christ. What made you this way?"
"what i think is we need danites in this day and time.porter rockwell and stilman we could use some more like them."
"My guess is that your are bitter against Mormons because they don't except your homosexuality. It is often the case with ex-Mormons anyway."
"G23 Is a liar look up all her references thye are full of holes. Do as the suggest use youre brains and you will see that she isnt about the truth its about hate and bigotry."
"your sick"
" "Galatian23"Youre not only sick. You're disturbed"
"You are being selfish. These children will get to grow up in strong member families! Think of the blessings they will get, their future testimonies. A single parent (and no offense, but you were disobeying the word of God) would not be able to give that to these children. Think of the people that child might convert as a missionary, the children of those converts! One soul raised correctly is an important matter to the Church."
"You are so full of hate I really feel sorry for you and anybody who has to put up with you. I will pray for your salvation as every wright thinking Mormon would. "
"You're lies will haunt you spiritually in this life and in the life to come, unless you Come unto Christ. That is just a friendly warning from one brother to another."
"Mormons are being shot at targeted by hate groups because of these LIES. You need to STOP! THEIR BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will go to Hell for your lying bigotry"
"...and all you are is a closed minded oppressive tryranical miserable totalitarian A-hole. just your pissed because your mommy didn't hold you enough (or someother Cliché) don't take it out on us just to make you feel more important"
"I only regret that there are no Dannites around to take care of the likes of you now. Maybe we could revive it huh?"
"You are just a sorry and angry loser who got kicked out of the church for your stupid, unfounded, baseless ideas. I know you anti Mormon types cannot stomach the truth and it is a real waste of time to argue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't help but wonder why so many of these Mormons cannot spell properly and have no sense of punctuation. The only logical conclusion is that the majority of them are under 17 years old, or not terribly bright ... and I swear I have not made any of this up, nor have I changed any of the wording at all.
Stay tuned for more heart-warming displays of Mormon love in the future.
(What's most hilarious about this is they all probably give talks on Sunday about forgiveness, love, Christ-like attitudes, but then behind the anonymity of the web they swear, threaten, condemn, harrass and let their true colors show.)

These comments aren't any different than the ones you would get from a Catholic, Jew, Muslim, Agnostic - whatever. Picking and chosing the ignorant and funny musings of children(we hope), isn't difficult and isn't solely Mormon idiocracy.
One thing about your blog that just simply annoys me - you argue the same thing everyone else does. If it was relevant, it would have some impact on what Mormons believe. By reading your blog they would simply say "Wow I never thought of that! So true!" You don't think that we understand the churches history? Everything you have tried to "enlighten" us with has already been rebutted, so I won't even waste time writing it all down. If you have a specific question though, let me know.
Of course too, you wouldn't post anything by a Mormon that actually made sense, that would make us look too good. (Don't bother with the reply "I would post it if any of them made sense.")

Well I'm aware that these comments would come from any person of any faith - who felt their faith was being criticized. I simply found it humorous and thought I'd share.
Now, if you truly know all about the history of the LDS church and wish to stay a member, that is your own problem ... err ... choice.
But there are a large majority of LDS members who know little (to none) of this, especially converts.
I consistently get accused of lying about the issues of Blood Atonement, MMM, peepstones, Smith shooting 2 men to death, etc., which is all quite well documented and proven. It's simply that the members do NOT KNOW, and have been told such a Disney-version of reality that they believe anything else is 'satan-inspired-lies'.
You know all of it? Fine. But I will continue to share the facts with those who don't, and they are free to make up their own minds to leave - like I did, once I learned the facts.
I get people thanking me all the time for sharing the truth with them - good enough incentive for me!
"Everything you have tried to "enlighten" us with has already been rebutted, so I won't even waste time writing it all down. If you have a specific question though, let me know." --
As per the usual M.O. of Mormon apologists, you say things like this, yet do not state one issue that you think is incorrect, etc. You, like the rest, "don't have time" to argue whatever issues I am wrong about (that you never point out), yet have time to come to this blog and rant. Go figure.
And no, I won't be asking you a specific question because I can already go to the Mormon apologist websites and read them whenever I want to. I don't need your brainwashed (I mean, 'enlightened') answers to Mormon corruption.
Exposing Mormonism ... woot yeah!
Galatian keep up the good work! It's always refreshing to read how you are standing up for the truth.
I love to hear the comments that TBM's send to bloggers such as you and Samuel the Utahnite (also a favorite of mine). It just shows the ignorance and "holier than thou" attitudes of some church members. They are outraged that you would make such comments about their precious church, yet they feel the need to stoop to swearing (which I'm not against, but I know the church is), name calling, and unfounded accusations. It never ceases to amaze me that people think the only reasons you could leave the church are that you are secretly gay and "in the closet" or that you have been reprimanded by the church for sins you have committed and are lashing out in guilt and resentment.
I completely agree with you that church members just aren't aware of church history. The History Channel documentary on the MMM was the first time I had even heard of the horrific event. Not only are church members not aware of the true facts of their history, but once they become aware of them, many are satisfied to sweep them under the rug (such as the MMM, which many TBM's said was focused on too much in the PBS "The Mormons" documentary) or to ignore them completely. The most disheartening moment in my questioning years was when I was just beginning to question what I had been taught. My dad had left the church and told me some interesting facts (which I researched and verified for myself) and one thing that I found out was about the murder of Parley P Pratt, who was killed, not by the family of his 9th wife, but by her legal husband. A religion teacher of mine at the church college I was attending taught a class on Parley P Pratt and mentioned that her family had murdered Pratt because they were angry with him for forcing her to marry him and convert to the church. I brought him writings that stated that Pratt had been killed by the woman's husband, and even made sure they were from Mormon sources (a current BYU professor) so he couldn't accuse me of bringing him Ex-Mormon "lies". I was extremely disappointed when I heard him mention the murder in a lecture later in the semester, once again mentioning that it was the woman's family that murdered him, casting a sympathetic light on Pratt who was killed merely for converting and marrying an available woman, ignoring the facts that I had presented to him.
I'd just like to say, since Amber is obviously deluded enough to believe that what you and others have to say has no impact on what Mormons believe, that I have been impressed by your knowledge and candor. There are people leaving the church every day who are beginning to think for themselves and find support in blogs just like yours. Keep it up!
When I was growing up in the 1970's "out west," my father was approached by elders of the Mormon church and told him his business would become more profitable if he joined the Mormon Church. He was a Baptist and declined. Because of that, those same elders said he would be put out of business by the predominately Mormon constituency of our town. He was driven out of business and that is why I find myself living in the eastern half of the United States today.
Do you think that Mormons publicize this facet of their religion very much? Apparently not. I'd like to see some deny that it actually takes place, though.
I prefer to remain anonymous.
Context. Context almost always makes or breaks the comment. Most of what has been listed in this comment section are matters of context. Make sure you are certain your sources are complete, accurate, and unbiased. In other words, the official church histories cannot be trusted as being unbiased, but neither can the carefully snippings offered on an admittedly anti-mormon web site. Also, recognize that much of the "history" we read from that time, as with most all histories, are written by the victors. How unbiased will they be in their assessment or potential twisting of facts to suit their view of the outcomes.
Galatian-
Mormons can be mean. I am so sorry that they take it out on you. I personally believe that men and women should be able to speak freely without fear of being attacked. I am Mormon myself, but I hold no hard feelings towards you. I may not agree with you, but that is no reason to attack you personally. Ever!

Hi angry Lesbian...mad much?
Why is it that the craziest people in the "Christian" world, who are at the extreme end of the wacky stick, are controlling the freedoms of innocent people who simply want to marry?

Mormons suck plain and simple.
What other religion or sect locks up important historical documents from the historians or their own members
Mormons what are they hiding? They are hiding LIES FRAUD and DECEIT.
I know all about the history of the church and all the prophets and other church leaders. Do you honestly think that by setting up these posts you will make me leave the church?
One thing you seem to forget is that these reponses are from people who are human. We all make mistakes and allow persons comments to cause upset. Like in one of the above reponses you would get similar posts from any other religion.
You show me one religion that does not have some sort of dark history where a memebr of that religion has taken it upon themselves to act 'IN THE NAME OF GOD'. The problem is that God allows us to make our own choices and gives us the freedom to act however we want. This will ofcourse cause a problem when someone else uses their free agency to harm another.
God is real!! He lives and has set up his church here on earth. Whether you believe it or not makes no difference to the fact that God is there.
I hope that one day you realise that your wasting your time and move on, you have obviously had some sort of falling out with the church and that is why you are so bitter. It is like anything, if someone falls out with a religious group or goverenment group or any other group than you become personal against that group and your feelings and opinions are distaughted by the hatred you feel.
You make comments like you want to help others, what a joke that is! We are clever enough to ask our own questions and look into the teachings and lives of the church leaders. You do this because you hope that someone gets upset by it! Its all right we can look after ourselves and make our own decisions!
Good luck with you other post!
I think this is great. My husband is an ex-Mormon, and despite what some of these ho-dunk hillbillies say, there are a LOT of ex-Mormons and ACTUAL Christians who believe Mormonism is a big cult. People can say all they want about how if you were right then wouldn't Mormons realize it and stop believeing it, but the case isn't about the facts you show them, it's about how small minded they are. if they were raised to believe that if we follow all the rules in the Book of Mormon (which btw has been revised, NOT TRANSLATED, REVISED, several times since its publishing) then we will become Gods of another world... well then that sucks but there's nothing you can do. People are still racist, and hell, look at the Holocaust. People knew that was wrong and there were and STILL are Nazi's to this day. so whatever. I think this blog is great and I say you have every right to show your writing and other peoples stories. Just know, a lot of Mormons don't know all the dumb crap of their religion. a lot of "new age" mormon churches, like the one my husband went to, didn't tell him about all the wierd stuff they believe, and in fact even hid it. they have a strong feeling that if they reel the kids in with all the good stuff and all the love doctrines that by the time they find out about the racism and polygamy and TOTAL judgement this church is REALLY about, they will have already found faith in the religion and will just accept it. My husband struggled when he first re-nounced being a Mormon because they had made him feel like it's all about faith and who are we to judge what God had commanded. Well I showed him where in the bible it states that it is THE book and the ONLY book God had a hand in writing his word and he finally stopped feeling so bad.
Look it up wierdos. Revelations 22:19.
Suck on that.
