2018-10-08 21:54:44 UTC  

at least you dont have a national black LDS congress yet xD

2018-10-08 21:55:11 UTC  

the spanish offered freedom to blacks who converted to catholicism way back when in Florida

2018-10-08 21:55:31 UTC  

the whole spanish situation with the catholic church and the conversos and blacks has been... not too great

2018-10-08 21:55:35 UTC  

Poor Brother Young.... he must be turning in his grave!

2018-10-08 21:59:40 UTC

Universalism is cancer

2018-10-08 22:02:01 UTC  

If some of the top church leaders did, that would be a great thing, but I doubt very many people would be ready to split off on their own

2018-10-08 22:06:53 UTC  

@TMatthews some did !! and they started the Fundamentalist Mormon splinter group which still does not allow non-whites to be baptized in their church and live in these communities where everybody is white and they don't allow other races in

2018-10-08 22:09:30 UTC  

I was under the impression that FLDS left earlier over the issue of polygamy

2018-10-08 22:10:34 UTC  

yes you are very correct; they split over the principle of polygamy and the doctrine on the blacks

2018-10-08 22:12:06 UTC  

From my understanding, they pretty much isolate themselves in remote communities. We need in between denominations that are pro-white but can still be a part of society at large. Not just for Mormons but Christians in general

2018-10-08 22:12:51 UTC  

two great schisms took place in the Mormon Church; one over the principle of Plural marriage when hundreds of members left the Church to be able to continue the practice and the second one was when the Church announced that non-whites could now be baptized and receive the priesthood.

2018-10-08 22:14:27 UTC  

Okay change of topic, ladies and gentlemen.

2018-10-08 22:16:47 UTC  

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL what is wrong with discussing this stuff? we are not arguing or being disrespectful or anything like that? this policying is uncalled for. i have seen people engaging in much dumber discussions that went on for hours.

2018-10-08 22:18:32 UTC  

R3 @Grayson , please change topic. Thank you 😃

2018-10-08 22:18:39 UTC  

@Grayson When you joined this server, you agreed to abide by its rules. Please re-read rule 3 and rest assured that each and every rule exists because we had problems without it. I realize the rules may sometimes step on toes or interrupt perfectly civil conversations, but I ask you to believe me that long experience has taught us of the need for each and every rule.

2018-10-08 22:20:11 UTC  

It's one of the unfortunate disadvantages of having a large group that we're forced to deal more with the behavior of the masses rather than that of individuals.

2018-10-08 22:22:51 UTC  

my apologies.

2018-10-08 22:24:15 UTC  

It's all good @Grayson

2018-10-08 22:25:05 UTC  

So ya, sorry for my - what probably seemed abrupt - topic change request there. My two oldest kids were fighting and I was dealing with that at the same time and I knew this was an easier thing to deal with briefly.

2018-10-08 22:26:29 UTC  

There's an unofficial server for religion discussions but I don't even know who the admin is anymore.

2018-10-08 22:26:35 UTC  

It's kinda dead.

2018-10-08 22:28:05 UTC  

There he is

2018-10-08 22:28:20 UTC  

The glorious thing about IE is that we all have a common goal, even though we really are _diverse_ in the sense that religion, politics, and that sort of stuff is all over the spectrum within the org. As Admin said, some topics just lead down a road that are distracting from the common goal and better left to discussing elsewhere.

2018-10-08 22:28:37 UTC  

I feel like these discussions are okay if you keep it civil and people who might be offended can opt out, so reviving that might work. Ultimately though, I doubt anyone will change their religious beliefs based on a discord chat and it might just be counter-productive

2018-10-08 22:28:56 UTC  

Sorry guys, i thought that as long as it did not get heated we were good... but it was a good reminder. I appreciate you reminding me of rule 3. We are all in this together, i consider you guys all family

2018-10-08 22:29:27 UTC  

You're all good, brother. Thank you for understanding @Grayson. Much respect

2018-10-08 22:29:44 UTC  

@TMatthews They are, thing is, all it takes is one person to come along with an inappropriate remark and then we're cleaning up a big mess. Easier to just not have it here.

2018-10-08 22:30:53 UTC  

I personally think such topics are fascinating, so if you wanna discuss, bug @JohnStrasser for invites.

2018-10-08 22:31:15 UTC  

How about that sports ball gents

2018-10-08 22:31:27 UTC

2018-10-08 22:32:25 UTC  

I really like how number 3 runs the sports ball

2018-10-08 22:33:06 UTC  

School is cancelled for the rest of the week here due to the hurricane coming, and ya my 2 oldest daughters decided to fight over who got to sleep downstairs tonight and watch movies on the big tv instead of the one in their room. It was a big mess there for a few minutes.
