Is it true they wear white at funerals? if so, why?
-
Latter Day Saints are buried in White, their temple garments. It's a sign of the beauty of the deceased returning home, white and pure to their father.

I've seen Muslims coming into a funeral at the mosque before, and they weren't all in white. Just regular dress suits, black sport coats, that kind of thing.
-
Same with Sikhs, we wear white at funerals too..

the leader of the Latter Day Saints (Joseph Smith?)
was a free mason,
so Pansopussy might actually have a point here ::)
-
Yeah, a lot of our rituals are similar to FreeMason rituals, and Joseph Smith was a freemason, so people use it to detract from us all the time.
-
who says freemasonry is bad?
from what i've heard recently it aint evil or anything
compared to how i thought of it before i knew nothing about it.

Pansophy is Infinite isn't he?

Freemasons have 'secret ceremonys' so it freaks people out. There's nothing wrong with being a freemason, that's why I don't mind when people call Joseph Smith one, he was. I saw a billboard down the street from my house last week that said "Freemasons... There's no secret to our Charities" LOL. They do a lot of charity work, they're similar to the Shriners, etc. It's like a lodge. People (conspiracy theorists) think they're all plotting world takeover, or something.
The reasons Latter day saints get crap is this: Joseph Smith restored the church of christ to the earth, and a lot of the rituals and things we do in our temples, as well as our garments we wear are similar to Freemasonry. Detractors say he wasn't instructed by god to enact these rituals and things, but that he just copied freemason rituals. I say buck em. Maybe freemasons had it right long before Joseph Smith, lol.

Ah, who cares. I'll take all of 'em on, and still come out on top. He can post as 10 people, I'll still eat him like cornflakes.

Genuinely superior persons don't think of themselves as such, and refuse any attempt to describe themselves as so. It is only those who are insecure who feel compelled to announce their superiority to the world. This is the well-known inferiority complex that you have displayed so virulently on this thread.
An inferiority complex is defined as the repressed fear and resentment of being inferior. You have made a grossly disgusting error in your statements about me. For there are, in fact, no such entities as being on "top or bottom", "superior or inferior." Such terms represent the expression of myths the function of which is to keep people, as the expression goes, "in their proper place."
If one person has became culturally more advanced than another it is because their opportunities have been greater, and not because of some supposed innate superiority. No group of human beings is of less value in the scale of humanity than any other. For all groups of human beings possess the potentialities for development which under the proper environmental stimulation would enable them to contribute maximally to the achievement of humanity.
That's one to grow on. I wish I didn't have to lecture you like you were my son, because I believe you are my equal.

Jack the ripper was a freemason and practiced freemason rituals i believe.
-
^^ Nice. Comparing the prophet of my religion to jack the ripper, lol. I don't think I've ever heard that one.
