Why are Latter Day Saints so Charming and friendly?

[AmeerX]

So, I came across this Later Day saints sister and she was so excited and friendly to me. I can't believe people call them crazy and so on the internet. Why do people think so negative of Latter Day Saints? They are not bad people at all 😃🥰.

Is there a Latter Day Saint on this website?

So, I am reading the book of Mormon. It's really long and 795 pages long. And though I am Muslim I think Nephi and Lephi were actually prophets since they came before the Last Prophet. They are a little misguided in that they have Prophets but honestly I love their ideology and simplicity and hard work and everything 😃

[NamerOfStars]

It's what their culture encourages. I understand full well that a big portion of the reason for their mandatory missions in youth is to show them the dark outer world, away from their social fortresses, and how much it despises them (it doesn't, really; it just dislikes their lack of misery and the constant attempts at changing other people's religions, but of course, the young don't know that), but I've liked every Mormon I've ever met. There are positive consequences to positivity, after all.

I would point out, though, that a person who's still on Earth, subject to all human frailties and vulnerabilities, has not yet attained union with God, and is, therefore, not a saint. Saint aspirant? Sure. Future saint? Well, hopefully. But you're not there yet. Also, the "latter-day" part is going to seem VERY silly in seven or eight thousand years, but I don't blame them for that one.

Honestly I haven't met a Latter Day Saint till yesterday. They are so amazing, polite. I thought they were going to be weird 😅but believe it or not they were really really appreciative in comparison to other branches like Catholics and to a lesser extent Catholics 😊

[AmeerX]

Latter Day Saint's have a very polite demeanor, why are they so innocent when you talk to them man 😞.

[NamerOfStars]

Because they're kept largely isolated from the wider world, unlike other sects. The logical point of comparison isn't to the Catholics, but to the Jehovah's Witnesses, who ALSO do door-to-door proselytizing, and aren't as withdrawn.

[AmeerX]

What do you mean they are kept away from wider world?

[AmeerX]

Jehovah's witnesses don't appeal me like the LDS did 😃

[msc545]

Having spent time in Utah, I found them to be friendly and charming people.

[AmeerX]

Yeah, but the other gager said she must be doing it as a tactic

[purplepoppy]

They're friendly as a tactic to recruit you into their cult.

[AmeerX]

Really? Ohh man and I thought she really genuinely respected me 😞.

[msc545]

Nobody ever tried that with me.

[AmeerX]

I told her how I respect Jesus. I am actually Muslim but I have been curious about Christian faith.. and I came across her and she said she has a lot of Muslim friends and found us very high morals. I hope she isn't faking her interest 😞

[AmeerX]

@msc545 I wish. You know she didn't try to sell me anything. I just found her really charming. And it was just first time and she felt like genuinely interested in talking. ..😞now I am upset and paranoid. I mean she said she respect Muslims. Catholics talk to me like so bad, Protestants are okay, Orthodox are the best ones and friendly to me

[RebelinSteel]

They use that as sales tactics, they are selling a product and are happy to exploit that sales tactic as much as they can. If they were selling a product, they would be breaking so many selling and marketing rules.

[AmeerX]

How do you know this?

She didn't try to sell me anything?

[RebelinSteel]

Because it happens in the real world

[AmeerX]

😔 ah and here I thought she was genuinely happy to talk to me

[RebelinSteel]

They would talk to anyone if they can convert them and get their money

[AmeerX]

Now it's starting to sound like a Scam 😕

[AmeerX]

How do you know it to be true? Have you met Mormons? They call themselves as Latter Day Saints

[RebelinSteel]

Ffs you do know the real world don’t you? We have plenty in the UK. I know exactly who they are and how they operate

[AmeerX]

Can you please tell me? I thought this girl really liked me. It was so good feeling and she made it like she really likes me 😑.

[RebelinSteel]

Yeah fair enough you are gullible, have fun losing your cash.

[strateguy632]

probably to "lure you in" like tempting the fish with a worm on the hook. i do not think they are crazy but some call them that for believing some "weird" stuff like further from realistic than miracles.

[AmeerX]

Nah, they won't lure me in lol. But if I had a Saint wife 😅, I think life would be pretty great. All I see is people cheating in relationships and sleeping around.
But those Saints are great 😃.
I even started reading Book of Mormon. I will write an update

[sean1234]

"Nah, they won't lure me in?"

Don't be arrogant, most people including yourself are already lured into teachings that are false.

One must already know that if there is only ONE God, then he only has one set of beliefs and all others are living in sin in his eyes. As a Christian myself I see most Christians living in sin and seemingly think it is OK from some sort of set of traditional beliefs that are not in the bible.

[AmeerX]

@sean1234 perhaps but I don't like to call other faith people sinners. My Dearest friend is a Christian and I love her like a son.

[sean1234]

I suppose many people in general are friendly, but as for one's religious beliefs being correct, that's a whole other story.

[AmeerX]

True, but no they have a very different outlook. They speak so elegantly and positively you forget yourself to it 😅. Well, that's what happened with this one

[sean1234]

Different, like God was once a man and they will become gods themselves? That's in no bible.

As for Islam is Jesus God. The Islamic arguments I've heard are weak. One web site aboutislam.net/.../ even says that is does not state Jesus is God.

John 1:1 and John 1:14, which identify Jesus as the Word who was God and became flesh.
John 10:30, which records Jesus saying, "I and my Father are one."
Philippians 2:5-6, which describes Jesus as having the same nature as God.
John 17:21, which shows Jesus praying for his followers to be one as he and the Father are one.🤷🏻‍♂️

[sean1234]

I meant, on that site, the writer states that it is no where mentioned in the Christian Bible that Jesus says he is God.

[AmeerX]

I see

[standardguy]

I am sure that the majority of Mormons are honest and decent people. The same applies to Catholics. but false teachings are spread, there are occult practices and one is seduced into being on the wrong side of the last great conflict in this world.
