Pookies

Thanks, all, I do feel better now. I guess what really, really, upset me more than anything else was not that what they were saying wasn't true....it was that, even after I posted unbiased sites with correct information about whatever aspect they were bashing, they still bashed it...it was as if they either didn't care or didn't bother to read it...I just don't get people like that. I mean....they can still disagree with the concept...just disagree with the right one, you know what I mean?

Awww, Breezy, thanks for defending the church, even though you aren't a member. I wish everyone would make an effort, like you have, to understand the doctrines of the church, and not believe falsehoods. You are very kind. :)

The thought of Jesus being married doesn't particularly bother me, and it wouldn't make me change my viewpoint about Mormonism, even if it did become "doctrine". It does make sense that He would be, given our beliefs. I brought it up in this thread because I've just never heard of it before, but it would be fine with me.

I don't know what the person was referring to in mentioning seven veils. The person bashing Mormons mentioned it.

Thank you, I will go to the site(s) you suggest. :)

As I mentioned in another thread, I was on another forum that discusses news and current events. Of course the issue in Texas brought out all the bashers on the planet I think. People confusing the mainstream Church with the FLDS, saying all the beliefs are the same, posting falsehoods, rumors, lies, etc. Anything you can imagine negative, they posted it. I did my best to set things straight in a non-argumentive way, posting sites, information, facts, statistics, etc...and still they argued. I didn't expect people to shout "Hallelujah" and run out and join the Church, but it would have been nice if at least one person would have said, "Oh, I was mistaken....", or "Oh, I didn't know that.." The hatred out there for the Church is frightening. Now I just need some kind words and reassurance.

Hello, all, I am hoping these questions can be resolved for me. I was recently subjected to some severe "bashing", and one of the things they said was that Mormons believe that Jesus was a polygamist. I have been a member of the Church for 30 years and have never heard such a thing. Is it true, or are they just misinformed, as bashers usually are? Also, someone mentioned something about "seven veils"...I've never heard of that either....can someone explain what they could have been referring to?
