Because it happened to her family.
LOL!!! Magdalena--I don't believe that's what is called convincing evidence. It seems to be the proof most often provided, but isn't anything but a claim, until proved otherwise.

I said it was Dider’s policy. That’s true. I said missions held mass sports baptisms. And that was started by a general authority. That’s true. I said there was massive pressure to increase baptism numbers, and they tried a lot of things. That’s true.Let's hold the judgment until Magdelena's proof that is a church policy. Otherwise--it's just an unsubstantiated claim.
So far--it's just a claim. She has provided nothing to show it's a church policy.
They were talking about her family. Do try to pay attention.LOL!!! Magdalena--I don't believe that's what is called convincing evidence. It seems to be the proof most often provided, but isn't anything but a claim, until proved otherwise.
The funny thing is, our critics can't give any reasons. They aren't here to offer reasons. They are here to mock and sling mud. They can't even defend their beliefs or explain to us why ours are not what the Bible teaches.and Peter said "always be ready to give a reason for the hope that you have in you
Was she there in the interview where they said "I don't believe any of that"? Her claim doesn't even make sense. Why would anyone bring others into their group who claimed they didn't believe it?Because it happened to her family.
This doesn't make any sense either. We aren't going to baptize anyone who says they don't believe the church is true.I said it was Dider’s policy. That’s true.

You think you’re backing me into some kind of corner by claiming I said it’s church policy. That’s your claim. Nice try.
you don’t think families talk to each other?Was she there in the interview where they said "I don't believe any of that"?
Statistics. How often has the Mormon church bragged about being the fastest growing religion? you guys have done that here. They're always bragging about how many missions, new temples, members, etc., there are. The pressure to be that gets funneled out to missionaries to bring in more baptisms.Her claim doesn't even make sense.

I was asked to prove Mormonism, I will do that when you can prove Jesus is the Christ...It’s not the topic. You’re trying to divert again.
Christ didn’t tell them to stick their foot in the door so the person couldn’t close it.
1960s | Film becomes the standard medium for presenting the endowment. Filmed endowments take on a theatrical quality (with costumes, scenery, music, etc.) and are dubbed from English into other languages. As the filmed endowment makes congregational singing awkward, the preacher's hymn is discontinued. |
1970s | Revisions are made to the portion of the ceremony involving Lucifer's preacher: Lucifer no longer specifies the amount of the preacher's salary, and a reference to Satan's having black skin is omitted. |
1975 | The long, pre-1923 garment becomes optional in the temple and is eventually discontinued. |
1978 | The lifting of the priesthood ban on blacks makes the endowment available to all Latter-day Saints, regardless of race. |
1990 | Following surveys of Church members' feelings about the endowment, major revisions are made:
|
2005 | Procedures for the initiatory are revised such that initiates clothes themselves in the garment before entering the washing room, thus eliminating the final vestiges of ritual nudity (which had been curtailed by introduction of the shield, probably during the 1920s). Water and oil are applied to the head only, not to multiple parts of the body. |
2008 | Possibly out of consideration for the elderly and disabled, initiates are no longer instructed to stand while making covenants. |
No you weren’t. I was speaking to someone else.I was asked to prove Mormonism, I will do that when you can prove Jesus is the Christ...
Nice backpedal.... chuckle. I also notice you deflected the question by dberrie2020.... hmmNo you weren’t. I was speaking to someone else.
Hop on off to priesthood meeting now, Ralf. Where can act all sanctimonious, and laugh and brag about how you put down Christians.Nice backpedal.... chuckle. I also notice you deflected the question by dberrie2020.... hmm

Cite, please. Give us information which states this is a LDS church policy or doctrine.
Notice friends and visitors... nothing but crickets and deflection... does she answer deberrie, nope she has to change the discussion... a ploy used regularly here at the Mormon Forum...Hop on off to priesthood meeting now, Ralf.

You mean like you just did on another thread about providing reference links.Notice friends and visitors... nothing but crickets and deflection... does she answer deberrie, nope she has to change the discussion... a ploy used regularly here at the Mormon Forum...
I just sent it to you.... have you ever left out a reference...seems your quiet on that...You mean like you just did on another thread about providing reference links.
Probably, but not on purpose. And I didn’t sit there and make excuses, mock other posters, and refuse to give one.I just sent it to you.... have you ever left out a reference...seems your quiet on that...
