Gideon said:Okay we have this teacher called Mr. Bob (name changed)
Hes a pretty good teacher, but when they came on the topic of religion, and got to the mormon part, he called the religion a "cu;t" and then said saying stuff such as we worship Joseph Smith, which is completely false.
Isnt that illegal for a teacher to do?

vergiss said:Last year, I had an idiotic substitute teacher for science who somehow wandered off into a monologue about how people with bipolar disorder are dangerous and shouldn't be allowed to care for children, obviously unaware that one the students (me!) was bipolar. Needless to say, the other kids in the class just froze - I can barely think of a more humiliating moment in my life. I complained to the other staff, and what did they do? Nothing. I never even got an apology.
Some teachers are bastards. Boo freaking hoo.
It's ironic, really... how people froth at the mouth over what they see as "political correctness" (both genuine and paranoid), and then have a hissy fit when someone says something that offends them.

World religions are not cults, but cults are often based around them.Gideon said:Okay we have this teacher called Mr. Bob (name changed)

These make it a cult?shuamort said:What they won't tell you:
They believe that God is just an exalted man.
They believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers.
They believe we can become gods ourselves.
They believe that Mormon women are to be pregnant for eternity populating their own planets.
The Bible has no archeological evidence either.Absolutely no archeological evidence for the Book of Mormon has been discovered (except for the part that was copied straight from the King James Bible).
I would be very interested in some examples of this.Over 4000 changes have been made to the Book of Mormon since it was first published - a far cry from what Smith called "The most correct book on earth."
Per Cultwatch.org:-Demosthenes- said:These make it a cult?
What is a cult?
We define a cult in two ways.
Firstly, if they use Mind Control as part of their day to day practice then we define them as a cult. If we find Mind Control in use in their practices then we will examine the independent stories of ex-members. If those independent stories have the threads of Mind Control running through them then we certainly have a cult on our hands.
Secondly, when working with Christians we use the classical Christian definition of a cult. That is if a group claiming to be Christian teaches significantly different things from what the Bible teaches then we would label them a cult. For example the Mormons claim to be Christian yet teach that Jesus and Satan are brothers and that God came from a small planet near the Star base Kolob. Even a person who does not know much about Christianity would know that these beliefs are not Christian beliefs. Hinduism on the other hand is not a cult, but a world religion. Why? Because it teaches things very different from the Bible but does not claim to be Christian.
While the classical Christian definition of a cult will normally be only of interest to Christians, we find that the Mind Control definition is one almost all people agree with.
How and where is mind controlled used in the Mormon Religion?Firstly, if they use Mind Control as part of their day to day practice then we define them as a cult. If we find Mind Control in use in their practices then we will examine the independent stories of ex-members. If those independent stories have the threads of Mind Control running through them then we certainly have a cult on our hands.
