RACIST
HISTORY
Mormons
have a rich history, built upon the foundation of discriminatory
precepts, and malignant bouts with a superiority complex. The
one who reigns supreme in their world is the white, heteresexual
male. No other being can hold the keys of all things deserving,
according to the words of their prophets.
One
must judge carefully as to whether or not he or she aligns themselves
with the teachings of a church or other social group, whose
basic teachings and "gospel doctrine," reside in the
repugnant stench of racism, hatred - and even murder.
The
history of the Mormon Church is one filled with the spilling
of innocent blood. Of men who would stop at nothing - making
martyrs of one another - simply to be the Mormon King. To reign
over those people who would rather live in their ignorant convictions
this charleton was chosen by a god of his own device and creation,
rather than venture into the paths of enlightenment and real
truth, which will lead them to an understanding of the god or
Universal power which they know in their hearts must exist.
Most people born into the Church have lost all sense of objectivity.
They no longer posess any means to measure themselves against,
as a standard of normalcy. In the world, but not "of the
world, " is another way of "protecting" members
from realizing the farce they have created.
LOSING
NORMALCY
This
loss of the standard of normalcy, coupled with misguided direction
from those who claim they are as gods mouthpiece on earth -
can only lead their flock of ignorant sheep into the dark abyss
they surround themselves with. Shut out the world and you exclude
yourself from it. That is the real, "outer darkness."
I
am often told by my Father, a church leader, and by some of
the Apostles who would frequent our home to visit him, that
I should be, "...watchful, lest I be carefully led by Satan
towards the depths of hell, " - or my favorite line, written
by Mark E. Peterson, who said, "...we must not feel so
sorry for negroes, that we will open our arms and embrace them.
Remember the little statement we used to say about sin, ' first
we pity, then endure, then embrace." The classic racist
comes out in him a little later on when he proclaims in all
sincerity, "I would be willing to let every negro drive
a cadillac - if they could afford it."
THE
RACIST BOOK OF MORMON
The
Book of Mormon itself, is a testament to the absolute intolerance
of black skin. In its own text, lay the stories of Lamanites,
who are the "bad guys" or sinners, who were 'cursed'
with darkened skin; and the Nephites, who are the predominant
"good guys," and who are blessed with white skin.
But it gets even better. Not only are these stories replete
with racism, but they actually teach that when these Lamanites
became righteous, their skin became white!
Wow!
I never realized that if black people acted white, their skin
would change color! Sounds more like a mood ring to me.
I
apologize for my sarcasm, but it is absolute drivel, which fills
the minds and gospel of the Mormon Church. This is only one
of the many thousands of issues the Church has failed to deal
with adequately. But then, you may hear a church member say,
"Well, the people aren't perfect, but the Gospel sure is!"
That
can only come from the mouth of a mindless idiot who has given
up control of his or her own mind to those who will gladly control
it for them.
LACK
OF INTELLIGENCE & WISDOM
Mormons
always claim that the glory of their god, is intelligence. Yet,
for those of us who understand, this is not enough. Anyone can
posess intelligence. It is the application of that intelligence
which fosters wisdom. Yet, Mormons haven't even allowed themselves
to get this far. Most intelligent people come to the realization
that we are all very different from one another, in race, custom
and religion, and basically in every way possible. What another
may consider a holy practice, another may perceived as such
abhorrent sin, that they convince themselves the other individual
is surely invoking the wrath of eternal hellfire and damnation,
and I must save his soul.
I
don't remember when this happened, but somewhere along the way,
Mormons, (among others), got the idea they should not only dictate
their hatred through gospel mandates for their own followers,
but actually push legislation for the nationwide practice of
intolerance, discrimination and punishment for those who fell
outside the lines of privaleged, white heterosexuality.
Which
leads me to this book. I discovered this book a few years ago.
Many church members will know who the Tanners are. Yes they
are related to N. Eldon Tanner, the Church Apostle of way back
when.
These
incredibly courageous people undertook the huge effort of compiling
actual church documents, pamphlets, oratory discourses and church
historical archive materials, which are infested with this gospel
of hatred.
Many
of my gay mormon brothers and sisters who may read this, are
only at the stage of trying to understand their homosexual issues
with the church, and still seek to align themselves with the
gospel as "gay mormons."
THE
MORMON GOD IS A STRAIGHT WHITE MALE
Unfortunately,
you cannot be both gay and mormon, or black and mormon or anything
but white and mormon, when you consider the basic principles
of this organization, rest upon a history of hate, a history
of murder in the name of god, and a bastardization of Christ's
ministry on the earth.
I
only ask you read with one thing in your mind - that which Jesus
Christ himself said, "By their fruits ye shall know them."
In other words, their actions will speak louder than words about
what truly lurks within their hearts and within their unholy
doctrines.
WHEN
IT ISN'T GOOD TO BE A SHEEP
Some
of this material may be extremely offensive to you. It may anger
you, cause you disbelief and make you question yourself, your
beliefs. Everything.
GOOD!
That's what growth is all about - shaking it up, making you
think. Don't be the among the mindless "sheep" out
there.
Ever
wonder why church members are referred to ask "the flock"
and Jesus, (or in this case, the church) is the Shepherd? Do
you know how ignorant sheep are?
Ever
wonder what really happens to sheep when they are no longer
useful?
Read
and discover what I have, and realize you are an amazing, wonderful
human being. Independent. YOU posess all of the answers to life's
secrets within you. They are there for you, simply by asking
the Universe to provide you the answers.
Are
you really ready to make that journey into understanding yourself
and your life's mission and purpose? You already know it deep
inside, but you've locked it up, because you were told you couldn't
be this, or do that. And you believed them. That's okay, but
now you are on the road to discovering why they are wrong. You
have been brought here for a reason - a thirst for knowledge
and truth.
This
is what I am offering to you because I have been down this road
and have discovered something is amiss in the land of Zion.
Like many other "squeaky clean" appearances, they
hide the ugly truths away from view.
Here
