Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Mitt Romney's Cousin Says Mormon Church a Fraud

While GOP presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney is not known for a willingness to discuss his Mormon faith in detail, at least during his political speeches, a family member and former Mormon has come out to accuse The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of being a cult and a fraud.
"I became convinced that it's a fraud," Park Romney, an ex-Mormon high priest and Romney's cousin, shared with the BBC. "I am alienated from my family. Their doctrine, their protocol and their culture as enforced by bishops encourages the families to disassociate themselves from the apostate."

Expanding on his reasons for why he was led to believe the LDS Church is a fraud, the Republican's cousin revealed:

"There's compelling evidence that the Mormon Church leaders knowingly and willfully misrepresent the historical truth of their origins and of the church for the purpose of deceiving their members into a state of mind that renders them exploitable."

However, members of the LDS Church disagree with Park Romney's accusations, and maintain that their religion is not a cult, and does not try to divide families by shunning members who have openly disagreed with the church's teachings.

"If I had a son or a daughter who left the church or was alienated or had a problem, I can tell you I would not cut that child out of family life," LDS Church elder Jeffrey Holland told the BBC. "We don't use that word and we don't know that practice," he said when asked about "shunning" ex-members.

That is a stone-cold lie. They will even shun their own familiy members. I saw it first hand in Hawaii by a devout Mormon family. Myself and a couple others ministered to that guy for weeks, but he was so messed up he didn't know what to do with his father playing games with him and money. That was just one family, but was under the pretense that it was Mormon doctrine, not some nutcase family. Christianity itself has a policy of shunning certain people. So what. You cannot mix the wheat with the chaff.

There is nothing Christian about the LDS except the KJB they use, and I'm not sure they still use that.

It seems like some of these cults(as well as some of these false teachers) use the KJV as well - the Masons have a KJV in their lodges(right beside the Koran et al).

As for Christianity having a policy shunning certain people - to be frank, it ends up being the other way around. It's Christianity that presents the truth, but it's the other parties that you minister to that does the shunning. From my own experiences, this seems to be the case(no, not trying to brag or anything). Nothing wrong with this - but praise Jesus that he ends up doing the separating from you when all is said and done.

Indeed people flee the light...

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." John 3:19 (KJB)

however, doctrine is...

"A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;" Titus 3:10 (KJB)

Reject, shun, distance. In the end it's the same thing.

"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat." 1 Corinthians 5:11 (KJB)

I think I got it(to be honest, I have trouble letting scripture interpret scripture like this), but yeah, this is making sense.

the will shun ex-members to the point of killing the so that they can be saved by shedding their own blood. They only use the KJB as a book end, as according to Mormon teaching the book is flawed and has been changed over the years and it was Smiths job to bring back true Christianity. Thats how all cults start, Gen 3 yea hath God said.
