Which branch are you referring to, the "Reformed Latter Day Saints" (the ones with multiple wives) or the more mainstream Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints?

We only get old mad ladies trying to feed us "The Witness" newspapper:rotfl:
Yhey usually wear those thick glasses (we called them bottle bottom glasses:lol:) and aren't very tall (And I'm not tall to begin with)... The mormons are almost always big tall guys very white and very blond... They look like Dutch guys white white shirts and suspendershttp://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/icons/icon10.gif

Oh and I was forgetting all those Brasilian cults like IURD (Universal Church of the Kingdom[or realm] of god) those guys are bonkershttp://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/icons/icon12.gif

Another blow to personal freedoms by the cult of Scientology. There are videos bashing every religion on youtube what gives Scientology the right to remove ones opposing them.:nope:

none of the cults being mentiponed here compares to scientology in it'S aggressiveness by which it tries to penetrate into big business and education while now hiding it's identity at the same time to evade any flak. Compared to that, JW and some local churches are dilletants. Scientology is a business corproation, and it sells people their own financial exploitation, brainwashing and psychic rape.

That so many fall for this diabolic deal tells us something about the failure of our own mainstream culture and it's real attractiveness. Some fall for scientology sect, because our societies cannot offer them what their mind is yearning for: managable salvation, a causal string of deeds that guarantees spritual freedom and happiness: the heaven in reach of your own hands, if only you reach for it motivated enough. Others see in it fulfilled the promise of living the ideals of our competition-oriented mainstream culture: to become powerful and priviliged in knowledge and by that earn more money at the end than what one has invested. Usually, the latter are few and the first are many, and the latter live from the first.

In the end, both end as fish hanging from lines.

Indeed its an active organized campaign attempting to position itself
for surreptitious domination globally for the advancement of its own
agenda. Which btw is definitely not my preference of whom should
be running things.


maybe we can get rothschild to buy them off.:rotfl:

I certainly agree with that.

Every religious cult has the right to bring suit to get videos taken off of youtube. The fact that few cults do so is not the same as saying they don't have the right.

They may have the right to take down videos that violate copyright etc.

but they don't have the moral right to use copyright law, not to fight copyright
infringement, but to cover up criticism.

is free video free speech in the law?

But neither of our houses are in the public forum Mush.

To achieve your desire for "freedom from religion in the public forum" that means no Yalmukas or Tilakas or Crucifixes or Sikh turbans allowed to be worn in public. Churches, mosques, temples, either banned out right or at very least stripped of all outside markings and closed to public access. No religious festivals like our local favorite the Feast of St. Rocco, no Christmas lights...

You just cannot erase all sign of religion from the public eye and, imo, to try to do so is to go against the wishes of the great majority of people on this planet.

Fair and granted, this has long represented an obstacle to my
totalitarian domination of earth.:rotfl:

And how's it with "the freedom of others end where they start to limit mine"?

as Sailor Steve put it some months ago so very elegantly: "I have no problem with somebody who does not raise a problem to me."

I tolerate others if they do not try, intend or press me to change myself in their favour, and if they tolerate me in all my difference to themselves.

it's a good rule of thumb to give others the level of tolerance they show towards you, and mirror their intolerance if they do not tolerate you. I love that kind of reciprocity. It does not always save you from conflict and sometimes sees you in the need to fight off the other, but that is okay. Different to the impression politicians sometimes raise, mankind is not all a great happy family, and there are people who simply wish us bad and look forward to seeing us fall, to raise themselves that way.

For everything you need to learn about tolerance try marriage.

its one half tolerating the other party and one half learning to
curb your own more noxious behaviours in good faith for good
balance.

Amen!
