dont feel bad
Quote From: queenslanderHi my name is Karen and my message is that the FLDS are a pretty bad people and how they run their religion is really bad too. I am a member of the LDS church (not the FLDS church) and when I hear about the FLDS church it puts a bad name on me and I hate that. well karen dont feel bad I am just a plain jane christian meaning I believe the teachings from scripture about Jesus christ , Im not indoctrinated past that point , I have no deranged reports of abuse being my parents actually never attended church on a regular basis . So enforcement of anything not the case with me , needless to say I myself am quite apalled to hear that some former believers and teachers of christianity would actually go so far as to say even christianity is a "cult" for the most part karen the term "cult should be understood more I gave quite a extensive post about what the term means etc..etc.. not certian where the post is but hope it shows up anyway karen the term cult today is being used very very different from the original meaning of the term cult , and you should understand that the use of the term in and of itself promotes religious intolerance period . it first appeared in english in 1617 and is derived from french word culte meaning worship which translates in english latin meaning cultivate till the soil cult is a word without much use outside religious mudslinging period , it is a word that devalues intentionally the term often creates fear and loathing among the public and contributes greatly to intolerance and carries very heavy emotional content the term alone suggests that it is something for people to detest avoid and fear , it is purely ignorant the way in which it is used today so just make certian whatever you hold to that there is enough evidence to say thats what you are if your tried for it . I can assure you that many accused of being in a cult just need their pastors to explain the word how it is being used and what it implies and then I am certian that if you believe your temporal " worship" which in most faith based groups worship is for God alone be comforted knowing if you have worshipped him alone you will be judged by him alone in the end and you need not hate the fact cult means anything you should automatically be ashamed of period . Not saying thats the case with all , but most . look into the word cult and how that specific word is used today , it wont take you long to gain a more in depth perspective about whats happening !!! your intrinsic rights is not something violatable if you learn the truth . people are free to worship whatever they wish too , stand for it , or loose it , the war on religion has began and its not politically so correct . Strastegically I hope they are scared to death to go there they all should be !! The difference between a cult and a religion is a IRS ruling . church seperate from state , dont you think they hate that being religion draws more money than poloticians LOL its not all cracked up to be what it appears if you take a look behind the scenes of the smoking mirrors , dont worry bout it karen , stand for something and fall for nothing when it comes to the trying times .
