Lost a lot of respect for mormons since I've been in Korea.
I don't really care about what they believe. Who knows what is true and what is not anyway.
But, mormons use "I will teach you Engrish for free" as a way to recruit Koreans into their religion. That's just f--ked up. One time I caught a couple of mormons outside of my hagwon. They were talking to ELEMENTARY school aged children. These bastards were telling them (in Korean) to tell their moms they could get free English with them. So, I roll up, and they expect to be my best friend and sheyat, just because we're both white.
Dude, you're trying to poach my students AT MY PLACE OF WORK. You are trying to manipulate small children. You know I had to ask him to leave.
I've seen flyers around my area for "free English" as well. A few times I've seen the whitebread standing on the corner trying to hustle Koreans waiting at a red light. Makes me embarrassed to be a foreigner really. |

| What I don't understand about Mormon I've seen on TV, is that the men that practice polygamy seem to always choose proper munters. Surely if you went wrong the first time round and chose a heffer, you'd think it through clearly second or third time around. |

The missionaries are not supposed to preach to children with out approval from the childs parents. The missionaries specifically trys to teach familys. I used to talk to kids all the time, its a good way to practice Korean. I don't really think any English teachers have to worry about the missionaries taking your jobs. I taught free English the entire time i was a missionary and I don't think that anyone ever had their kids stop attending a hagkown to just study English with the missionaries. (And you know the missionaries don't really like teaching english and don't do that good of a job at it. I taught horrible English ... but that was just me).
That is just how I remember it. |

Well, the guys you've seen on television aren't Mormons. |

| My friend was saying in Bundang the Mother of God people are giving school kids candy outside their school and telling them to bring their parents to church on Sunday. |

Joseph Smith. |
Adam Smith is much funnier when it comes down to it.
I taught a kid named Adam Smith last summer. Adam had two mommies: one white and one brown.
Huh? Mormons?  Is that what we were talking about? |

Do you suppose many hot women sign up for such a wacked-out deal?
Those guys just have to be satisfied getting the young ones. |

The LDS Church has changed a word in the introduction in The Book of Mormon that alters the description of Lamanites, one of several ancient American civilizations chronicled in LDS scripture.
The introduction, written by Bruce R. McConkie in 1981, will be changed to say that Lamanites are "among the ancestors" of American Indians, instead of McConkie's version, which refers to them as the "principal ancestors" of American Indians.
"After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians," McConkie's version reads.
The new version says, "After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are among the ancestors of the American Indians."
"The current Introduction page in the Book of Mormon was not part of the original text translated by Joseph Smith Jr.," said Mark Tuttle, a church spokesman, in a Salt Lake Tribune article published on Thursday.
"The introduction was written and published at the same time additional materials including footnotes and cross references were added in 1981. A one-word change was made to the introduction in the latest edition of the Book of Mormon published by Doubleday. That change takes into account details of Book of Mormon demography which are not known. The change will be included in the next edition of the Book of Mormon printed by the church."
Disputes over the historical accuracy of the Book of Mormon have raged since the book was first published in the early 19th century. Those disputes have been fueled by recent DNA research showing that principal lines of American Indian ancestry link to Asia, presumably by way of the Bering Strait. Mormon tradition has long held that at least some of the Indians' ancestors migrated across oceans from the Middle East.
The Tribune quoted Simon Southerton, a former Mormon and author of "Losing a Lost Tribe: Native Americans, DNA and the Mormon Church," as saying that the textual change represents a concession by the church "that mainstream scientific theories about the colonization of the Americas have significant elements of truth in them."

Interesting that the Mormon church puts more stock in what modern day science says rather than what past leaders of the Mormon church have said. There is no acknowledgement of error and they quietly make the change. Science does change religion. |

Anyone else on a mormon thread get this "canned" email?

I am concerned your critical comments about Mormons on Dave's ESL Cafe. I think you have been deceived by the mainstream Protestants. Mormonism is the most beautiful truth in the history of the world and so far beyond any existing religion! Think of it: A race of Gods sent their offspring to a mortal sphere on earth, to develop, grow and mature to become Gods!
Mormonism far superior in depth, breath and understanding to anything else found on earth. It surpasses all.
It rivals the ancient religions of the Egyptions and is deeper than protestant Christianity. You need to open your eyes and look into the depths and breath of the Universe.
This divine race of Gods reside near the great planet Kolob and help their endless creations. This is a religion for the 21 century and beyond. Mortals are in a primitive and natural state and must learn to rise above the animal kingdom and into the realm of the Gods. Temples are instituted to help mortals find the divine spark within them and to progress to higher spheres and through the exercise of discipline and control over their lower animalistic states can rise to join the race of Gods. Again, this religion is fitting for the 21st century and beyond.
Perhaps, you wish to call it the Prophet Joseph's imagination, well, than his imagination is far beyond the competing religions, whom dare not to think of a race of Gods, worlds without end and planetary spheres, rather desiring to leave such imaginations to science and learning, rather to the portals of religion. The prophet Joseph, knew how to speak and think and dream of the higher destiny of humankind and the universe beyond.
And, also, the Christian doctrine is so much greater clarified in the Book of Mormon than even the Bible, each tenet, each point of doctrine, each issue meticulusly prepared and articulated far beyond the bible, that if the Prophet Joseph wrote the Book of Mormon his intellect far surpassed, even the apostle Paul in articulating, points of justice and mercy, the atonement, Judgment the law, faith, hope and charity and issues of salvation and exaltation to such clarity that Joseph was the greatest Christian theoligian of history. Point by Point the Book of Mormon surpasses the Bible in clarity, understanding and depth of Christian doctrines of salvation, grace, works and the resurrection.
What a wonderful message! |

He seems to think the prods have gotten to me. I just had to tell him "I'm sorry I'm critical of all religions and all claims of belief in an invisible friend." |
