repeating third hand reports is tale bearing.
Have you spoken to any eyewitness Face to Face?
Here are the "various sources" for Blaines FALSE WITNESS:
sister missionaries from the FAIR web site:
"To yell and scream terrible things about the leaders, the doctrine and
the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in this way
convince us we are wrong." Offensive to LDS doctrine yes, but Obscene,
NO.
I tell you again if you want to hear some real gutter mouths come listen
to some of the LDS Priests!
FAIR is a LDS Apologetics group. Some of the members told us personal
info. They have pics & names even listing what we do for a living, on
private web sites. They knew very intimate details of Larry's life. What
for?
Media reports from KSL the Church owned TV station
If you watched the Real Video link that I provided, notice woman (mother
of the bride) with Props in hand(wedding garments-they belong on bride)
Notice NO Bride NO Bridegroom NO Wedding party just MOM with PROPS.
How to create news:
Take picture of SP's
Take separate pic's of a wedding party on private property behind 15 foot
high fencesome 30 yards from main street(Public property)
put two in news story together.
Add MOM with prop
NOW THAT IS NEWS!
Since there is so much video and news crews on the plaza, why not just
show the part with the nasty stuff and bleep it out cover the brides face for
protection of identity.
Come on that would blow this thing wide open. ALAS there is no such
video, just lies deceit and setup news from the church crew.
Liars Decievers Seducers!
reports from members of Protestant denominations
More of the same, in reports one guy a president of a christian school in
Utah, even had the audacity to say he tried to talk to us but could not find
us! Banners hoisted high in the air and "screaming" does not lend itself to
being lost in the crowd. Come on lets get real here.
What kind of man would allow his new bride to be called a
whore?
And would not that make some great News Video of him coming after
the SP's?
This whole thing is sad, ORWELLIAN news in Utah.
Baline you are a FALSE WITNESS, repeating stories.
Prov 19:9 A false witness shall not be
unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

You have
convinced me that you do not believe in free speech. Maybe you
now need
to convince yourself. I could respect what you are saying here
much more
if you just came right out and said that you do not believe in
free
speech.
If people need to be protected from the public speech of
others, then
this is a clear statement that you do not believe in FREE
speech. You
believe in CENSURED speech. You want only that speech which
is
palatable and edifying for everyone. You believe like Dean
apparently
does, that whoever says anything that is not edifying ought to
be
silenced after a few rebukes and they still do not
listen.

Hold on there. You just
crossed a big line in my book. :-)
I know that the homosexuals want
to be called "gay." They are offended
to be called a homosexual. However,
I am offended that they have
hijacked the English language and call
themselves gay. I refuse to use
the word ga! y in reference to them, and
I rebuke those who call them gay.
In my opinion, they are playing into
the deceptive game of Satan.
Homosexuals are not gay, so we all ought to
stop calling them gay!
Now here you come along and say that if I know
that the term homosexual
offends them, then I am crossing the line if I
refer to them as
homosexual. Or, suppose I use the Biblical word
"sodomite." Now I know
they don't like the word "sodomite," so are you
saying that when I read
Deut. 23:17 in the KJV, that I need to edit the
words "whore" and
"sodomite" out of it before I read it, just because I
know that some
people will feel insulted?

LOL. What planet do you live on? If a college student tells me that
he
or she has sexual intercourse on the weekends with different
partners,
you can bet that I will refer to that student as a "fornicator"
to the
other students. It is NOT illegal to do so, and I have never been
sued
over it.
I remember a girl coming up to me crying one nigh! t
because the preacher
I was with called her a fornicator. She said he had
no right to call
her that. As I talked with her, I learned that she had
slept with three
different men that last year and had an abortion too.
She was about to
go on a missions trip as a missionary the very next
week! Well, God
brought conviction upon her and I assured her that she
WAS a fornicator
and that she needed to repent. The preacher was not her
problem. Her
problem was that she was deceiving herself because she did
not see
herself as God saw her, which was as she really was: a
fornicator.
Other Christians had deceived her into thinking that she was
a good
person.

Has it ever occurred to you that you have been lied
to? Can you imagine
what the news reports were when Paul came into town?
You Mormons are
treating street preachers the same way the Jews treated
the apostle
Paul.
I suggest you go down yourself and see what is
going on. Don't base
your opinion on glorified gossip.
Peace be
with you.
