Ask a Mormon

[Rescued One]

That couldn't have anything to do with your behavior, could it?

No, it had to do with my not giving him my husband's military work number.

Well I don't know if it reassuring that nothing has changed since I have been away or not. I have been following the discussions for a while and even though I didn't want to come back I just can't help myself. It does my heart good to know that there are more religious people of other faiths that realize some of the negative feelings that are out there for the LDS.

Hopefully, there are no people here who have negative feelings towards LDS. Jesus told us to love everyone and common sense tells us that if there's one rotten apple in a barrel, it doesn't mean that the rest of the apples are rotten.

Hey TasteForTruth, brave thread!

I have a question; I understand you do not drink tea/coffee. Does this include fruit or herbal teas?

As Fatboys indicated, herbal or fruit teas are not proscribed in any LDS doctrine, as are coffee and "traditional?" tea (I admit that I don't know teas all that well...go figure).

What, then, did that have to do with my original hypothetical?

My rhetorical question was why "would" they?...not "do" they? IE, they shouldn't. But some do anyway.

Lots of members were understandably afraid of ex-Mormons. In order to get or renew a temple recommend, they would be asked: "Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?"

This was my original question:

Why would LDS find offensive that some people lose faith in their beliefs?
​

What you've said doesn't have anything to do with it. You're talking about fear.
