Thanks for the advice. Perhaps you are correct. I will check that forum out. .................................................. PS: Pease delete my membership from this forum. </span> <span style="color:#FF0000">Done. If you do go over to Mormon Apologetics, try to behave better there. They're somewhat less reluctant to bring out the knives and deal with trolls head on. Your poor manners (including the rant I just deleted) are all the proof we needed of your agenda. Honos

:) Dear LatterDaySaint, I cannot thank you enough for your genuine, intelligent feedback! I was curious of how much of the video reflected LDS doctrine, and you elaborated very specifically and articulately. So far, you are the only person who has bothered to respond genuinely to my inquiries on this thread. I highly respect your feedback, and I thank you again. How else am I to understand the message of the movie in relation to Mormon Doctrine if I am not allowed to pose my inquiries on a forum such as this? I could ask for feedback on a non-mormon site and request how Contemplations pars with Mormon doctrine there, but I highly doubt that the feedback would be accurate nor authentic. (Afterall, one doesn't go to a Chevy dealership to ask about a Ford.) As far as the other previous replies to this thread are concerned: I am NOT posting a link to CONTEMPLATIONS on this forum in order to "promote any such particular website or products." I have no need to promote CONTEMPLATIONS as its existence accrues no revenue whatsoever, and its message is already spreading by more than 700-800 views/day on google/youtube, yahoo video, AOL Video, and Myspace Video. The number of views is also increasing exponentially everyday. (At the current rate, it will be viewed over 400,000 in one year.) It seems that after only 8 weeks, the movie is doing quite well on its own without any promotion whatsoever. Furthermore, it is obvious that the other responders to this thread have not bothered to view the video, so their replies are irrelevant. Again, Thank you, LatterDaySaint. :) Mr. Cutter, As has been previously explained to you, your posting and promotion of your movie are very likely a violation of our forum rules. That's strike one. Two, your quibbling about the definition of advertising is irrelevant, since you are very clearly promoting the opus. Three, if you wish to understand LDS belief, I strongly suggest you ask specific questionsabout what we believe instead of demanding that we sit through a forty minute monologue and then correct your assertions. It's also very clear in the rules that we demand substantive, on topic responses. A forty-minute monologue that touches on LDS beliefs only lightly clearly does not qualify. And for the record, the responses you received were genuine- whether or not you liked them or considered them relevant. You don't get to redefine the term to suit your agenda. Finally, whether it is your intent or not, you come across as very condescending. I strongly suggest you clean up your tone (drop the ubiquitous references to "intelligent" and "thoughtful") and concentrate on the substance of the responses you've received. These boards do not exist so that LDS members can be sneered at or belittled. Such behavior will cause me to show you the door in very short order. And that's not "irrelevant". Honos.

Advertising implies money. This has nothing to do with money, and everything to do with a discussion of LDS doctrine. I believe I made my request very clear. I desire feedback from an LDS perspective. I personally believe that an LDS forum is a perfectly appropriate place to request LDS feedback. If your feedback is genuine then I will highly repsect it. Rob PS: Again, "Genuine" feedback mean that you took the time to actually view the movie. I could be wrong, but I don't think "loudmouthMormon" followed this prerequisite. It's easy to just key in a response, but more difficult to actually give genuine intelligent feedback.

I have created a movie entitled CONTEMPLATIONS. It embodies the mystical concepts of many ancient religions, and interestingly enough, many of the sacred doctrines that make the LDS religion unique among Christianity, are mentioned in the movie, as well.. I am posting a link to the movie below in the hopes of generating genuine feedback from members of the church concerning some of the concepts presented in relation to the church's doctrines, especially the doctrine embodied in the quote: As man is God once was. As God is man may become (and the concepts of "calling & election made sure," and the "temple sealing ordinances"). Even though some of the concepts presented in the movie may not completely align with LDS doctrines, there are many similarities that are uncanny. In just 2 months since its release on the internet, the movie has been viewed cumulatively over 7,000 times on google/youtube, AOL, and MYSPACE. The number of views is increasing exponentially everyday. Please only post genuine feedback on this thread. "Genuine" means, you have watched the movie to the very end before you respond (it's a 39 min. movie). The response from the gerneral population has been very positive, and I am eager to hear what members of the church have to say about Contemplations. I also hope that the moderators of this forum follow their own rules of "mutual respect and the tolerance of others' beliefs" by not deleting this thread just because some of the concepts in the movie may not perfectly match church doctrine. The movie is very uplifitng and worthy of watching. Thanks, Rob Cutter Here is the movie link: http://www.fairpoint.net/~contemplations I am looking forward to your feedback! :)
