Dru Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 forget the MORmons when is Krakauer gonna take on the SIMmons? Quote
j_b Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 The gist of the complaints is that, having climbed to the top of the world and written well about it, does an admitted agnostic really think he can take on a popular religion? Or even get it? this kind of logic has unsurprisingly not prevented the mormon church to want to regulate human activities all around the world, activities they presumably knew squat about. jon krakauer is getting better and better.

Dave_Schuldt Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Interesting, thanks for letting me know about this book, should be a good read. Quote
j_b Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 my point is that the mormon church proselytizes its religion all over the world to people holding various other creeds (which, in general, have been followed for centuries or millenia: aministic, catholic, etc ...). why should they attempt to deny someone of no religious creed the right to criticize their religion on the basis he is not of their creed? hypocrites.

Or more simply stated...the mormons suck and are a cult. Next subject... Quote
nolanr Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Yeah, but the Mormons have basketball courts IN THEIR CHURCHES and they actively encourage dancing to their youth. Growing up Baptist I thought dancing was naughtier than sex. They may be a cult and they may have some seriously wacked doctrine, but they do a pretty good job of making it seem interesting to youngsters, some other denominations should be taking notes. Quote

The most popular, Celestial Barbie, comes with 8.4 children. She wears a mid-calf flower print Laura Ashley dress with conservative flats (no heels), a bow in her flowing, shoulder-length hair with puffy bangs. Barbie wears a permanent smile, knows how to bake bread, store wheat, feed a family of 12 on less than $200 a week, make casseroles and Jell-O salads, and still find time to read her scriptures. She comes with an MAV (Dodge/Ford/Nissan/whatever mini-van, otherwise known as a Mormon Assault Vehicle). When you pull the cord in her back, she becomes emotional, teary and says things like, "You have such a special spirit Sister Jones" or "Love ya." Occasionally you can find one that says "Oh my heck!" but be warned: this is a manufacturer's defect. Celestial Barbie would never say "heck" because it's a swear word! You can buy a Celestial Ken to go with celestial Barbie, but he's hard to find. (Probably because he's off fulfilling some priesthood leadership calling, so he's rarely home.) Quote
