And this is ironic, since this forum touts "the principles of Liberty." Yeah, you can talk about the principles, but you can't act according to them - and this contradiction goes un-remarked upon.
"- No profanity. No inappropriate sexual content." There goes Isaiah, Ezekiel, and the Lord. "Oh, save us, scripture translators, from the language of the prophets and the Lord! Our fragile minds and intolerant, self-righteous, judgemental egos cannot take it! Give us smooth things!"
For as I, and Marc, have shown, their language is sufficient to get them banned from LDS"F"F.
And you wonder why you don't get "Thus Saith The Lord."
It's always other people the scriptures are talking about. "I'm not like them! I don't do what they do!" You do. Your rules are the same as theirs were. You produce the same outcome.Isaiah 30
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
You say you revere the Book of Mormon. But you don't recognize yourselves in its pages.
And ye say "- No Trolling, flaming, spamming, baiting." Thus there is no possibility a functional call to repentance can be made to these froward, lying children. "You're making me mad!" "You're not nice!" "You're not kind!" "You don't fit in!" "You make me uncomfortable!" "You're on the wrong team!"Helaman 13
24 Yea, wo unto this people, because of this time which has arrived, that ye do cast out the prophets, and do mock them, and cast stones at them, and do slay them, and do all manner of iniquity unto them, even as they did of old time.
25 And now when ye talk, ye say: If our days had been in the days of our fathers of old, we would not have slain the prophets; we would not have stoned them, and cast them out.
26 Behold ye are worse than they; for as the Lord liveth, if a prophet come among you and declareth unto you the word of the Lord, which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, ye are angry with him, and cast him out and seek all manner of ways to destroy him; yea, you will say that he is a false prophet, and that he is a sinner, and of the devil, because he testifieth that your deeds are evil.
27 But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall say: Do this, and there is no iniquity; do that and ye shall not suffer; yea, he will say: Walk after the pride of your own hearts; yea, walk after the pride of your eyes, and do whatsoever your heart desireth—and if a man shall come among you and say this, ye will receive him, and say that he is a prophet.
28 Yea, ye will lift him up, and ye will give unto him of your substance; ye will give unto him of your gold, and of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly apparel; and because he speaketh flattering words unto you, and he saith that all is well, then ye will not find fault with him.
29 O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened and ye stiffnecked people, how long will ye suppose that the Lord will suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather than light?
Ye are they of whom the prophet spake.
UH OH! The Lord is intending to shake people up, to troll them, to bait them, to wake them up to a knowledge of their awful situation - and the moderators of the world, who also have a "Thou Shalt Not Make Us Uncomfortable Nor Shall You Challenge US, But Ye Shall Know Your Place!" rule will cast them out, stone them, and kill them.2 Nephi 28
16 Wo unto them that turn aside the just for a thing of naught and revile against that which is good, and say that it is of no worth! For the day shall come that the Lord God will speedily visit the inhabitants of the earth; and in that day that they are fully ripe in iniquity they shall perish.
17 But behold, if the inhabitants of the earth shall repent of their wickedness and abominations they shall not be destroyed, saith the Lord of Hosts.
18 But behold, that great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth, must tumble to the earth, and great must be the fall thereof.
19 For the kingdom of the devil must shake, and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the devil will grasp them with his everlasting chains, and they be stirred up to anger, and perish;
20 For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good.
Hey, I hear the Church is also ex'ing people for expressing themselves in disfavored ways, and for irritating the moderators thereof, too! It's like the intolerance meme is going around.
You don't recognize yourselves, you don't notice that those whom you esteem your enemies are just like you, you don't recognize the consequences with the rules you've adopted, and you feel justified in casting out them who cry repentance. Repentance from what? From exercising tyranny over the minds and words and thoughts of the children of men, from your intolerance, from your insufferable self-righteous pride that justifies you in casting out of your society anything that could discomfort you.
You can't handle the truth.
LDSFF is only one step removed from the real world. What you do and say here is what you are on the outside world too, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Your hypocrisy may be greater there, but you are what you are.
