I have never seen missionaries pass out pamphlets and newsletters though, the JW's always have them... I really think it was the JW's but obviously I wasn't there.

Do you know of LDS missionaries passing out pamphlets?

This is nothing new, Al Sharpton has made comments for years without any repercussions- what he would call "bigoted" stated by anyone else than him he has already said and more. He is a joke and has been for years but there are many blacks and whites that refuse to see him as he is (and still don't) he attempts to set himself up as a leader, but the platform he sets himself up on is a platform based on racism, God, and hate, but always the "who me?". White, black, yellow, red, other? it doesn't make any difference to me, if you use the same ruses, the same replies, wev'e seen and heard it all before. The point is if you want to set yourself up as a "holy" man, make sure you are "holy" to begin with, he is nothing more than some Imam striving for attention, he should thank his "god" that someone is still giving him his fifteen minutes of fame, but I think "fame" might really be his.

I hope his "god" destroys and abandons him, it will if it is deemed not politically or monetarily feasible to continue to support his ideas or claims, it will all fall in on itself and then what is left- the truth? We make ours, thank you.

What do you think the word "tracting" refers to? It is handing out "tracts". It's not done as much nowadays though.

There were times on my mission where I left pamphlets with people when I was tracting.

sheesh, just because that is the origin of the word doesn't mean it is done today, I had not ever seen it done by LDS missionaries but always from JW's.

I know we did it a long time ago (like 100 years ago) but I didn't know it was done today.

Look at my post again - I edited it.

Also, ever hear of "pass along cards"? Similar concept.

The only "tracts " I have seen have been Jack Chicks (one left on my doorstep and one at a Borders store by the flush handle of the the urinal I chose to use) quite honestly they are pretty funny and belonged in the toilet which they were by

I know this doesn't make up the bulk of the Christian voice but they are part of you.

Basically, if someone knocks on your door and hands you a religious pamphlet it is more likely that it is a JW than it is a Mormon, but the probability of it being a Mormon is still significantly greater than 0, although not as much greater than 0 as it would be if they hadn't handed you a pamphlet.

Is that better?

That's another thing entirely. I'm not sure there are many people handing those out door to door - but if you go to a large gathering of Mormons you may find some protestors handing them out. (I know, chick does more than stuff on Mormons, but they are the only one's I've had handed to me).

Exactly, we have been going off track here, the focus was on Al Sharpton and his remarks. I see him as a man who has made a pretty good career out of wrapping himself first in his color which perverts the faith he pretends or actually believes and that belief eventually dissolves into politics and the limelight intensifies it, this is the truth from where I sit.

He is just another Imam striving for power using race and religion to further his goals, if it weren't for racism would we have ever heard from him? Probably not, that is exactly why he has chosen to champion and propagate it- even invent it where it doesn't exist! But we will see how much power the American public will afford them while believing they are fighting the same in the name of freedom abroad,we have a fight right here.
