The following are two very different things: -Actual beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints -The fiction you hear from "anti-cult" sources. I acknowledge your right to believe what you believe. But I am also human and get very tired of repeated judgements levied at me or...

Prayer Warrior, what you think I believe and what I actually believe are two different things. We've been over this.

You keep believing whatever it is you choose to believe. I acknowledge your choice there and the fact that I can't change it. I'm going to follow keep Christ the best scripture & Him lead me.

I pray my heart out to our mutual God of the Bible. I acknowledge & cherish the real faith you do have in Him. I do pray that you didn't feel the nerd to cling to falsehoods about what others believe. A disciple of Christ should always walk in light, and has no need for "anti-cult" abusive...

The praying for another's freedom from lies is mutual, Prayer Warrior.

Notice how you once again refuse to address the REALITY situation.

Your example is a hypothetical fantasy. Please address the REALITY. Ella is real person and a real captive. A spiritually stunted manipulator whom has meniscal faith development herself. Whom even weaponizes birthday cards to push her fear-based agenda. Whom is incapable of having...

Ella is captive.

I acknowledge your stance, how I find it to be that hypothetically of a cult and yielding of bad fruits like Ella. I acknowledged that you once again refuse to address this. You and every other person have the right to believe as you do, no matter how good/wicked or free/trapped it brings you.

You are literally ignoring the real life example I presented. I’m sorrry, but I find your entire stance here to be extremely hypocritical and cultish yourself. I do not remotely endorse such such tattics and all of the trapped/stunted Ella’s they create. I do acknowledge you don’t want to see...

You completely ignored everything I said.... Ella is the one truly being voluntarily held by a cult here (yes, the cult of the "anti-cult"). Not Mia. Ella has no interest in truth, change, and is driven by fear. She lives in darkness, sneaking around in darkness, manipulating others...

^ That attitude itself is trash talking, manipulative, and door-slamming to any truth. It's filled with blindness and hatred, not love of the person or Christ. Here: I'll run through a practical example to show you a case of how this only hurts. This is an example from people I know closely...

Apologetics is about being able to explain what one believes, yes. Again, with all possible respect, I find "anti-cult" to be the opposite: being focused on why they think somebody else is wrong, rather than explaining what they themselves believe to be correct. For one example: I explain why...

Howdy, nice to meet you! I'm Jane, and I love chatting about different perspectives (in a respectful manner).

Because I believe passionately in the importance of being able to explain one's own beliefs, which is proper apologetics. Pro-Christ and faith without fear.

I'm sorry, but I find "anti-cult" stuff to be everything it accuses others of: abusive, manipulative, afraid of truth, hate-filled, and enslaving. I am a disciple of Christ. I have no need to be "anti" anything or watch "warnings of how bad this group is". Instead I'm just pro-Christ. Faith...

And most of all: flee the cult of the "anti-cult", which foundationally operates on fear. Instead operate out of love of Christ, Truth, and fellow man. Trust in Him. I wanted to better know about JW teachings, so I walked into a JW kingdom hall, not with a pitch-fork, but with *listening...

We've been over this many times @theefaith : Yes, Mary was a virgin at the time of Christ's conception & birth. Such is clear in scripture. Anything virginity past then is not stated in scripture. Catholic Tradition does declare such to be so, which fine that's a Catholic belief. For all of...

The Father is male. Same with the Son and Spirit.

For the record: LDS Christians (aka "Mormons") thoroughly believe that Jesus Christ is the 100% divine Son of God.
