I asked my spirit friend and he confirmed my faith!

AMEN!

I urge you all to pray to my spirit friend "Nick".

If you pray with open and honest heart, "Nick" will reveal the path of truth to you!

AMEN!

Nick and his followers lived on Easter Island about 2000 years ago as revealed to me in a vision one day.

Although there is absolutely no archeological evidence to support the fact that Nick lived there with his flock, it does not matter one bit. I am sure that everything Nick has told me is 100% truth since I prayed to Nick and he confirmed it.

Also, Nick said that white people are only white because God cursed them for drinking coffee. This way their yellow coffee teeth would show up better and reveal them for the devils they are. (on a related note he also cursed them with coffee breath!!! ewww!)

But about 50 years ago, under immense political pressure (and pressure from the Coffee Drinkers of America) the leaders of the church of Nick (me) decided it was really not what Nick had inteneded and that White people are actually just cracker eaters and it was all a big mistake.

GOD BLESS NICK!

If you doubt this story, then ask Nick for revelation!

If he does not reveal truth to you, then you must not have prayed with open mind and heart!

GO NICK!

sheesh...

On a realated note, why is it that so many of the young Mormons i meet have a less than basic education?

Is it because Mormons target the uneducated to join their ranks? Knowing that they are desparate in most cases and eager to accept anything people tell them? Knowing that these poor people have no education and background of world history makes them easy candidates for the cult of Mormonism. Then the Mormons further repress them by not allowing them to question or think freely about other religioins, or life in general. It's kind of like communism under the guise of religion. But hey, at least you are not "Radical Muslims"!

Regarding Church of Nick: OK. The Bible...which is accepted by most Christians as a book of scripture, states that by their fruits ye shall know them (meaning true followers of Jesus Christ). So which fruit indicates that we are not followers of Jesus Christ (speaking of the one in the Bible).

Because you live in Appalachia and that is typical of the population.

My experience has been nothing like you describe. As a missionary I taught a range of people at all levels of education. My experience when joining the Church of Jesus Christ was from an educated background a product of a German Jewish mom and Scottish/German/Irish Catholic
business owner father. My parents seperated and my father never joined the Church of Jesus Christ - he's still an alcoholic - and my mother did join wherein she enjoys the fruits of her conversion.

As for repression: I actually feel liberated as a member of the Church. Because as a young Catholic, I was not given answers I was simply told that's the way it is. In the Church of Jesus Christ, I can study it out, ask other members, non-members and discuss it with my Father in Heaven to seek His counsel. In the end, I have a host of ideas some of which reconcile my understanding of the things, some of which have not been answered. I also have performed necessary ordinances that I personally have felt was required in order to show my conviction to Jesus Christ. I accept Him as my personal Savior and I share that with others so that they can determine for themselves if it fits their goals in terms of eternal progression.

That of course bears no relevenace to our discussion. One would have to accept that communism (which is a form of government - not a social structure) limits personal freedoms in way that is not consistent with a set of objectives defined by an individual. Wherein the application of Communism in most forms was dictative, it does not mean the intent was such.
