BLAINE: I gave away over four
K to the poor, helping them get on their feet. I fast at least once a month in order to save up part
of that money (see Luke 18:12). I
pay more than that into the coffers of the LDS Church for a
tithe. I served for two years as a
missionary to the poor of Salt Lake City
Yes LUKE 18 does sound like you. In addition to being a False Witness
are you claiming to be a PHARISEE? Do you pray to yourself telling god how
much you do? Do you tell him how wonderful you are? You tell us all about
"I" do this I do that, just like the Pharisee. This man was NOT Justified
before God. The publican who cried out to God "give me mercy" was Just
before God!
Blaine: I have been
listening to you, and some of the other street preachers,
lauding your many virtues and telling us all how wonderful you are
and how much sacrifice you all make of time and etc., and at the same time
telling DaveH and I that we just sit around committing sins of ommission
despite the fact we know better, that I am surprised you have the gaul to
make the above accusation, without first including yourself and these
other street preachers as prime examples. Lets get this
straight Mr. Perfect Judge of the Mormons, we all know you are the
hypocrite here. We all know you love to dish out personal insults,
but apparently have a difficult time taking it. We all
know you are the only one on this list who continues to hand out
insulting, inflammatory remarks, after many requests by DaveM and others
to tone it down.
All I have to say is that if
you guys are going to brag brag brag about all of the wonderful works you
do in the Lord's name, maybe we ought to hear from the other side
too.
Pleeeeese,
do not give me any more of your self-righteous, "I am holier than thou"
crap. We are all sick of it.
LUKE 18 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publican The Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am
not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
publican. I fast twice in the week, I give
tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar
off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his
breast, saying, God be merciful to
me a sinner. I tell you, this man went
down to his house justified rather than the other:
for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and
he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
TITUS 3:4 Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the
washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on
us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life.

But I think Ruben wants me to go out on the
street with him. In all due respect to Ruben, I hope he
enjoys his work (he seems to), and do not begrudge him his dues.
We will all be justly rewarded, Ruben and co. included. Each to
his own, I would say. Let God judge, not me. But just for
the record, last year, I gave away over four K to the
poor, helping them get on their feet. I fast at least once a month
in order to save up part of that money (see Luke 18:12). I
pay more than that into the coffers of the LDS Church for a tithe.
I served for two years as a missionary to the poor of Salt Lake City,
and was greatly impressed with the vast resources the LDS Church has
built up for the sake of serving other's needs since it was organized in
1830. It owns farms and ranches (it owns the largest cattle ranch
in the US, in Florida) throughout the world, it has food and clothing
warehouses and employment centers all over the world, for the poor and
the needy. It has manufacturing centers, canning centers, food
outlets comparable to modern supermarkets--you name it, the Church has
it. All it asks is that if you are physically and mentally
capable, you donate some time and labor for what you receive. A
lot of people just go get the stuff and never bother to work it off, of
course--seems to be par for the course for people who are either fringe
LDS or non members. They seem to have that "take-take-take"
mentality inculcated into them by the world. They need to learn
that by giving, we receive.
Well, let Ruben and his boys, who are young
and full of vim and vigor, go out and picket the Massachusetts Courts.
More power to them. The only thing I despise is when they waste
their time picketting the LDS confines--we don't need it, although
it does seem to focus a lot of attention on us which we otherwise might
not get. I am sure more than one person has joined the LDS Church
after being introduced to it by the Steet Preachers Inc.
LOL.

IF THESE MORMONS
BELIEVED IN THE BIBLE, I WOULD GIVE THEM A VERSE LIKE THIS;
"Therefore to him that KNOWETH to DO GOOD, and DOETH IT NOT, to

SIN" James 4:17
WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT US TO
DO SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO??
"For they bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's

==============================
Seems to me the gay pride
parade went right by the temple last year.
Where were the
LDS? MIA !
Street preachers were there. SP's preach
at diverse events. (No pun
intended)
Sports, religious,
festivals, concerts, parades, political, did I miss any?
Talk is
cheap Blaine. What are you going to do about gay
"marriage"?
DAVEH: Hey Blaine......These guys are
right.....best that you not perform any!
