more binah in her finger than in your whole body
I'm frankly shocked at the dismissal of an entire group of people simply because they have unorthodox beliefs.

Which post(s) are you referring to?
If it was the post about congregational forums, anyone who is not a member of that particular congregation is not allowed to debate in that forum.

no, it was about the general idea put forth that somehow mormons are degenerate or unchristian. Just the feeling so many posts in this thread make me feel when I read them.

LDS are not allowed to post in "Christian Only" areas whether they are posting for debate or not, unless they sport a Christian specific icon.

If you go the the main CF page, you should see that the theology forums are classified as "Christian only," but that the congregation forums are not.
The following is from the rules:
Congregation Forums
Forum members who are not a member of that denomination may not debate in that denomination's area. Questions and fellowship are allowed, proselytizing is not.
Forum members who are not a member of that denomination may not debate in that denomination's area. Questions and fellowship are allowed, proselytizing is not.
And also:
In addition, any topics which runs contrary to Christian Forums' Statement of Faith, such as Universalism and non-Trinitarianism, may only be discussed in the Unorthodox Theology Forum.
I hope that helps.

FWIW, this is also from the rules:
"Do not state or imply that another member or group of members who have identified themselves as Christian are not Christian."

If you would like to know what the Catholic Church believes regarding the destination of unbaptised infants, why aren't you asking me?

Oh good Lord, I need to read those forum rules! I have been on this website for about five days now and I still haven't learned a thing!

If you go to the Theology Form, and check out Denomination specific theology, and peruse the latest "Are Mormons Christian" thread, maybe you'll get an idea about what IreneAdler is talking about.
I think she can well recognize the disparity, especially when others can go to "Christian Only" areas, and say all manner of things about the LDS Church and people, whether true or false, yet we LDS, being Christians, are forbidden to go to "Christian Only" areas to defend ourselves and our faith against falsehoods.

You are not the only person who suffers from these things. I often have to hear protestants spread abosultly mind boggeling lies about what the Catholic Church believe. I can't even say "no we do not believe that and we never have", I get notified for doing so.
I think you need to understand that God allows things to continue and if something unjust is going on just remember that God and God alone allows it, therefore do not worry too much.

I suspect that Irene can answer for herself what she meant.
I honestly thought that you would want to know that you can post in the congreagation forums. I didn't create the rules. I am also not a moderator and am not responsible for enforcing rules nor an I at liberty to move threads. I'm not interested in arguing about this.

With that reasoning one could attempt to justify all sorts of terrible injustices and evils perpetuated throughout the centuries.
We are called by God to not only seek justice, but to act justly.

I am very aware of this. And many of those lies come from the writings of professional anti-Catholic sources, with some of those sources also authoring anti-Mormon material.

It was never my intent to be exclusionary with my question. I would be happy to receive an educated response from anyone who has the facts.

I wouldn't mind if they were complaining about something we actually did believe.
But I am only speaking in a minor sense. We should be able to accept things we cannot change Skylark, we will only be frustrated and angry otherwise.
...or from people who claim to know?

Well, since I'm woefully ignorant of Catholic theology myself, I admit that if someone claiming to know Catholic doctrine told me X and Y, I would assume it was true unless/until someone else also claiming to know Catholic doctrine told me otherwise. How would I know, for instance, if you answer my question about unbaptized babies, if you are even telling me the truth? How do I know you are a true-blue, faithful, knowledgeable, trustworthy Catholic, or just someone claiming to be one? Is that what you're saying?

According to you. Ive seen Mormons show more love and compassion and be more filled with the Spirit than I've seen from most people who tout how unchristian they are. Do I agree with them? No. But I also don't call them non christian because they don't fit in a little box.

again, they don't fit in your box. Doesn't mean they can't love Jesus, be saved, be spiritual or "shock" be closer to their savior than some "real christians"
