DAVE I have read your comments below. You seem to think we are a bad witness.
Here is just a part of exactly what goes on at GC.
How do you feel about the LDS HIGH PRIEST who was arrested for Assualt & Battery (a Felony) He accosted a very small man. The High Priest then told on the news how he could have flattened him since he knew Karate
My Pastor never acts like that, what gives? High Priest? (striking disqaulifies see Bible)
Thugs do not make good priests.
How about all the gutter language I have to endure from Priesthood holders coming to thier special meeting? Care to see some R rated video of these "gods in Embryo"?
Now what EXACTLY is the behavior that you are talking about from SP's?
Have you ever been to Gen Conf while we were there?
If not you may be bearing False Witness.
As they say "Put up or Shut up"
Waiting for the Looooooooong list of vile behavior, lets hear it.

DAVEH: I'm not concerned for the LDS folks, as much as it troubles me how the world perceives Christians treating others who have contrasting beliefs. I wonder if the street preachers consider the impact they have on Christianity as a whole. I also ponder how Jesus would view their antics.
I suspect there are a lot of people who judge Christianity on the acts of those they know who may proclaim faith in Jesus, but act in a less than Christian manner. Have you ever heard non-church folks complain how they know Christians who are hypocrites? Sometimes we make excuses for them, saying that hypocrites belong in church. While that may be as good an excuse as we can offer in explanation of a Christian hypocrite's bad behavior, how does one explain to a non Christian the behavior of those Christians who attempt to humiliate and denigrate other human beings in an effort to promote their brand of Jesus? Does that really promote the image of Jesus' love for us that many Christians want to share with the world? Seems like a conflicting message to me.

That's why I am so curious about why some of them go to the lengths they do in decrying the LDS Church during Conference time in SLC twice a year. IF they really understood the Mormon mentality, I can't believe they would use such tactics to try to convert us away from Mormonism. What they do there only drives us closer together, rather than apart."Kevin Deegan wrote:Since it is so ineffective I would think you would be starting a SP school so you could help drive all those members together! Besides it proves the church is true!Kevin has a point here, Dave. If the Street Preachers are driving the LDS members closer together, shouldn't you be happy about that? Maybe the LDS organization should be paying the Street Preachers to come to your conferences. :-) Peace be with you.
