It's a movie quote about carnies (carnival folk) but I can't remember what it comes from. Something Mike Myers, I'm sure.

Sorry but that wasn't my question. Obviously you don't believe in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I think thats understood. :slap: Now answer my question bitch!

Austin Powers...something along the lines of:

"There's only two things I don't like. And one is intolerance!"

"And whats the other thing?"

"excuse me?"

"The other thing you don't like?"

"Carnies"

"Carnies?" :thinking:

"You know...circus folk. Nomads, you know. Small hands. Smell like cabbage."

I don't think you're understanding why I believe that LDS is a cult. It's all about control. I don't give a shit about what you believe, but the way the church controls its members is very indicitive of a cult.

Any time a church changes its name for PR reasons is a warning sign to me.

CULT:

(PRIMARY):a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object: the cult of St Olaf.

(SECONDARY [derogatory]):a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister: a network of Satan-worshipping cults.

also...why is it that when missionaries come to your door, they can't answer the following questions if you ask them:

About secret names, signs, and grips you must know to go into Godhood
About their secret Temple Ceremonies.
How they use your tithing and offerings.
How rich they are in the business world or how well their leaders are paid
How many businesses the church owns or controls.

There is no control what so ever. More importantly this shows how little you actually know about the church.

Thank you, its about time someone posted this. Obviously we don't fit with the secondary definition because we have over 12 million members, which isn't a small number.

What secrets are you talking about? Because there are no secrets, you can get answers to those questions from the Bible. Seriously your ignorance is embarrassing. Second why would missionary's want to waste their time with someone who really has no desire to learn or come closer to Christ, because if you truly wanted to learn then those wouldn't be the first and only question you would ask. Plus I did have the opportunity to be a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Only thing I really wonder about with the LDS is why they can't drink caffeaine yet they can own Coca Cola bottling company:thinking: Wouldn't that be a conflict of interest so to speak at the very least it is contributing to the downfall of many by offering a drink that is looked at with much negativity by their own church.
