Reasons given?

The gal is drug-free, respectful and hard-working from what I can tell but I haven't known her very long. The reason given for kicking the 16 year old out is that the mom just remarried (the mom is mormon, no idea whether the girls' dad was and he's no longer in the country) and is pregnant again and doesn't want to have a teenager messing up her new family.

Good luck with that situation. Hopefully the girls will realize what a POS the mother is assuming those are all the facts.

If any of you have read my previous threads about my mother in law you'd know that not all Mormons are responsible, caring, and hard working people.

Congrats.

To be honest, it's fairly alarming that you have to do anything more than simply stop having anything to do with the church by your own free will. Having to write a letter and threaten legal intervention if otherwise? Exactly what kind of religion is Mormonism, anyway? :eek:

I don't get why you'd even care to write them and have your name removed from their records. Doesn't that just give them more credibility as a legitimate religion?

Because had we not done that they would have continued to harass us. We'd get Mormons knocking on our door, writing us letters, and calling about once a month.

How does any of that give them credibility? Are you saying that if I formed my own religion and wouldn't leave you alone unless you threatened to sue, that somehow gives my religion credibility?

slaves don't get paid dumbass. it's called being business smart.

We were talking about his wife . He worked for the bishop. Money is the root of all evil . We all need it . It comes easy for some hard for others . Being a phony over money is way to live. Saying things to ones face and than backstabbing is noway to live but you will have all those other phoney friends to keep you company . Money not evil . IF aquired correctly. As for some remarks in here about the mormons religion . You really have no idea . Joey and mohammed have much in common .

Both were said to have special dealings with the most high . But it was other men who actually set up the religion . It took over 400 years for the muslim scripture to be written . Its all so very interesting . Same as Christ . 12 apostle but only 4 gosphels . It to was compiled only after ROME made it so . Mother earth /father sun . The universe God almighty . were nothing special only in our solar system and only in the mind of man is man superior. The earth is more intelligent and older and wiser than man but she is our mother. The sun even older than earth and much more inteligent than man . our father . God almighty created our mother and father. Be very carefull about what you say about this reply. or be stupid it really doesn't matter to me . But it will to you.

Out of all the scripture stories Joey smiths makes the most sense in so far as the history of man . Look at the south american indian than the north american indian . Than tell me who was slave and master . Look at north american indian way of life . In tune with nature . Mother earth /Father Sun . Look at what happened to south american indian before the spanish . What Happened? Joey smith story is very interesting . What that other clown did with this story , Young I believe was his name and the religion he spawned from smiths revelation. First comes the good news by good men in 2 out of 3 of the people I mentioned. But they were followed by evil men with evil agendas that did create false religion

Money is the root of all evil? You sure about that? I suggest you go read your good book again. 1 Timothy 6:10 IIRC from church long ago. You are such a dumbass you can't even quote your own beliefs correctly.

Ok, I can't wait for you to go browse the holy book, so here goes. The quote you were going for is: The love of money is the root of all evil. Realistically, the meaning of this verse is simple: Love for anything to the point that in infects your thoughts and actions to the detriment of your self or others is poison to your mind, body, and soul. It's not just money that's the culprit, it could be anything.

He is not guilty of "whoring" anymore than any religion is of "whoring" they're beliefs to line their own pockets with money and power.

To further quote the bible, Matthew 7:5 states that you should remove the plank from your own eye before removing the spec from your neighbors eye. Translated for your weak mind, it equals: Examine yourself and your own actions before passing judgement on others. So, in essence, your original post of damnation towards the OP is hypocritical. You are guilty of not even knowing WTF you're talking about and passing judgement on others when that should be left up to God. But really, this doesn't surprise me.

UPDATE 10/9/11:

I'm sitting downstairs watching football when the doorbell rings. Who do I find standing at the door but the local bishop. He told me that my wife's name has been removed from the church but wanted to know why she was leaving the church. I informed him that our letter stated very clearly that we wanted no further contact from anyone associated with the church. He asked again why she left and wondered if anything appropriate had happened. I assured him that wasn't the case, that we expect our wishes to be respected, and told him to have a great day.

Hopefully that's the last we ever hear of them or we'll have to do something about it.
