Obligatory Violence and the Book of Mormon

I’m Anti-Mormon? Really??!?

January 28, 2008January 15, 2011

I believe this “anti-mormon” label is thrown around haphazardly and without merit. This post by chanson (and the ensuing comments) show a little of what I’m talking about.

    Can you imagine if you had to baptize your kid before the transfused blood had left your system? Your kid would never have the real ordinance, and would probably be stuck in spirit prison until the millenium!!!
