Can any Mormon here confirm this? http://www.harrington-sites.com/undies.htm

I read the title only.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhah ahahahahhaha.

Last time this came up an actual morman said that some people do indeed wear magic underwear but it is not mandatory.

They are garments, and yes most members do wear them. There's nothing "magic" about them. They aren't a physical protection like that site claims, they are a symbol like the sacrament. Reading through that site, most all of it is BS. 90% of it is completely made up, with the rest being twisted from what it actually is. I quit reading about halfway down because it was just making me mad, I really don't get why people attack the Church that way especially since all of it is made up. If I really wanted to I could go through and correct every statement there, but that would just be a waste of time.

pics?

Mormonism is a bizarre cult. How it came to be respectable is quite beyond me.

If you really want to get the Mormon robots pissed off, ask them about Colob (SP?). According to the Mormon religion, God lives on a planet that orbits a star by that name. There he has eternal sex with his spirit wives and they populate the earth with their offspring. Next to Scientology, this has got to be one of the wackiest religions ever. Unfortunately, they don't tell people all of the whack-ball portions of their religion until they have been brainwashed enough to swallow anything that is presented to them by their superiors. Mindless sheep!

I know a girl who was a Mormon, raised by a Mormon family. She married a non-Mormon and they disowned her. And I heard it from her personally, not hear-say.

Wheres HomerJay when you need him?

But yes, Ive seen lots of documentaries on this bizarre practice.

its no more of a fucked up cult than normal christianity.

i mean, "god" lives in the clouds and he sent his "son" in the form of "jesus" who was born by a woman who has never had sex and hence a "virgin" then a "burning bush" then a "parting the sea" and then a "great flood" and then a "noahs ark" +all the other far fetched or downright impossible nonesense you christians swallow

How so? And if you aren't Mormon then how do you really know?

Didn't their prophet or someone read some holy words chiseled in rock, but he was the only one who could read them because he had the magic spectacles? I don't really know about mormons. We don't have them here, 'cept maybe in zoos.

Mormons break so many laws in the Bible it isn't even funny.

You and your family should be taken out back and each get a shot in the back of the head.

they are 100% real. my ex-girlfriend's parents wore them... supposedly... i never saw them...

Other than some minor inaccuracies, it's absolutely true.

According to their doctrine, joseph smith translated these ancient writings on golden "plates using magical seers "stones" to translate them.

The plates then ascended to heaven, conveniently concealing all evidence of their existence, and all that was left was what Joseph smith wrote.

You gotta ask yourself which one makes more sense though: the guy actually translating golden plates with magic stones that conveniently conseal any and all evidence of their existence, or that he just grabbed a pen and some parchment one day and decided to start his own religion.

mormons love bikes!

OK, so name one law in the New Testament that we break.

OK, now I know what he was talking about. What you said here is true, but he wasn't the only person allowed to translate portions of it. As for just grabbing some parchment and a pen, do you really think that a 16 year old with very little education could write a 500 page piece of scripture with absolutely no inconsistancies? Not only that, but it's consistent with many things that weren't even known about at the time, such as the literary form in which it's written. It's written in Chiasmus format, which is an ancient Hebrew writing form of inverted parallels. How could he have possibly known about that, much less been able to write perfectly in that form?

So tell me this, how could a 16 year old write something like that on his own? And it's not like there was anyone near him with a decent education to help anyway.

All in all, there's nothing that I could say to prove it is true or whatever, but you just can't use reasoning like "it just makes more sense that he would have written it himself."

BWAHAhahahahahahHARHARHAR.

Very informative 5 out of 5.

Well fuck then, Mormons just shifted below johovas.

'So tell me this, how could a 16 year old write something like that on his own? And it's not like there was anyone near him with a decent education to help anyway.

'

Just the same thing Muslims say about Muhammed and the Quran. So why are we meant to believe in one and not the other?

Hey guys, I believe we have a MORMON here!!! Just a letter away from morons!

He actually used magic rocks to read them.

Urim and Thumin ( sp? ) , specifically, which have been legends in alchemical circles for a good many years ( i.e. before the 2nd Great Awakening , when Joseph Smith did this shit )

Chubbyman I am pretty sure that Joseph Smith was not 16 when he wrote the book of mormon.

14 when the angel came to him and about 22 when he wrote the book of mormon?
