BITE model and Mormon missionaries

"I am now a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I wont be on Facebook again for two years so please don't message me, poke me, or write on my wall while I'm gone. Also don't bother trying to call my cellphone either, I wont have it. If you have something important to tell me my email will be xxx

Also feel free to write me. My address will be:

Elder xxxx"

I just saw this on FB. "Elder" X was a best friend of our whole family since he was 3 or 4. He completely ditched all of us this whole summer, after he had been made an elder, and was preparing for his mission. I saw his mother before he dropped us, and she told me how he will not be allowed to phone her except at Christmas! Steven Hassan is right about the BITE model applied to Mormon missionaries, wow.

Wow, indeed.

Same song, different verse.

Ooooh, yeah....

The Mormon religion is even MORE of a cult than the Jehovah's Witnesses....

After all, their religion was started by a near-illiterate con-artist....

The Watchtower Corporation was started by a clothing-store magnate - who THEN became a con-artist...

See the difference??

The Mormon religion use to ask to see your Federal Tax Forms to make sure you were paying your ten percent. Mormon doctrine is clear, if you are not paying your ten percent, you won't be in the top level heaven and receive your planet (Universe, now with the Multi-verse theory.). The JWs never taught you could acheive the same status as Jehovah, the Mormons do. The Mormon religion is a topic, I have studied for years, my sister is a mormon who pays her ten percent, has been to their Mecca (The Temple in Salt Lake.) while performing the ceremony that is creepy. The Mormons I have met are very kind, promised me I would be their servant when they die and call me out of Hades. Mormons do carry just as much guilt as we learned to carry, they are a works driven religion as well. Bumper Sticker I saw today "Screw Guilt!!" I like it.

I recently was approached by a MM when getting off the train. I mentioned how I was raised in a cult and then listed all these things about JWs that aligned perfectly with Mormons. He just did not get the point. So then I discussed how he is only a Mormon because he was raised one. He disagreed, and was adamant his spirit had spoken with Jesus' and that when that happens there is no doubting Mormons alone have the truth. It was very eye opening to see a person whose reasoning was as illogical as a JW.

I like the idea that you get your own planet :) If I make a religion that you get your entire solar system how many will join? So sad that there is so many suckers that believe the stupidity. So sad that we believed this BS that we would inherit earth with the fools that led us. I hope that one day governments have enough courage to ban cults that suppress self advancement.

I'll give you a full breakdown of how cult like a mission is but I've got to go to work now..

If you join my religion, you get two planets. And a cute puppy.

Now, give me all your money.
