Get them out of the club asap

[rj90]

I just googled .. Mormons Sins ... no mention of sins ... but says Alcohol, tobacco, Tea and coffee are banned, in something called the book of wisdom .... no mention of gambling ....

But seriously .... you need to pay more attention .... I don't care .

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is opposed to gambling, including lotteries sponsored by governments. Church leaders have encouraged Church members to join with others in opposing the legalization and government sponsorship of any form of gambling.

Gambling is motivated by a desire to get something for nothing. This desire is spiritually destructive. It leads participants away from the Savior’s teachings of love and service and toward the selfishness of the adversary. It undermines the virtues of work and thrift and the desire to give honest effort in all we do.

I suspect some are and I don’t know either

I know Olakau'atu is

A quick google search reveals:

Olakau'atu - Mormon
Koula - Jesus is Lord megachurch
Aloiai - Pentecostal

The same article reveals Toff Sipley has a history of posting anti-gay sentiments on his social media.

Can only say better get used to it as most of the current squad will be around for quite some time yet as a playing group and representing the club . Said it previously what is the point of trying to generate or imply some team disfunction or disharmony when i am sure they are just trying to get on with it and put the past few weeks behind them as a playing group . When i see individual players skirking or dogging it on the field or really being a disruptive or harmful influence of it , would say fair game for some well founded criticism . That is NOT the case at the present time or recent time

So you only reply when you think you can get away with a condescending & smart arse reply then play the "I don't care" card when you're made to look biscuit ersed?

I can see you're obviously a very open minded individual

The fact of the matter is .....

Every club has different cultural and religious players like we have but not every club has fcked up

With the Marketing rainbow promotional jersey like we have .

 

[47MVEagle]

LOL @BOZO dropping "facts"

 

[Woodsie]

@Woodsie care to have another go at answering my post now that it's been clarified I was talking about Mormon beliefs?

What are Mormons forbidden from?

Alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee and drugs

These are all specifically banned in the Word of Wisdom, except for drugs. The prophets have made it clear that drugs, other than for medical use, are also banned. Mormons are also strongly discouraged from drinking soft drinks containing caffeine.

So, banned, but not sins that you will rot in hell over by the look of it ... maybe for having 2 soft drinks ...

How do Mormons view gambling?

In Mormon theology, gambling is not strictly forbidden, like smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol or beverages with caffeine; it is viewed as a lesser transgression, an evil "based on the morally wrong philosophy of getting something for nothing, of taking money without giving fair value in return."

Doesn't appear that they think gambling is a sin either ....

Mate, you need to get a grip ... your starting to make Daffy Duck look well balanced ..

LOL @BOZO dropping "facts"

No one can deny the facts and the truth of the matter feathered friend

I know Olakau'atu is

Josh Aloiai is Pentecostal which is not Mormon..

 

[BOZO]

Josh Aloiai is Pentecostal which is not Mormon..

Every clubs has , Pentecostals , Athiests and Mormons but nor every club has Morons in their Marketing department

 

[rj90]

Josh Aloiai is Pentecostal which is not Mormon..

Ok? I didn't say he was though?

Wonderful ... and absolutely correct .....

Now, for your homework ... in 50 words tell us why what you have just posted with words such as "opposed to" is 100% proof that gambling is NOT considered a sin ...

In fact here is the rest of the research you didn't post ..

In Mormon theology, gambling is not strictly forbidden, like smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol or beverages with caffeine; it is viewed as a lesser transgression, an evil "based on the morally wrong philosophy of getting something for nothing, of taking money without giving fair value in return."

No you did not. But I used your post as reference point because your pointed out The Mormon sins etc. no offence intended on my part

Semantics, really.

Also, you've cherry-picked gambling because it suits your narrative, but left out the other 'sins'.

Finally, it's a bit disingenuous to suggest I 'didn't post' something that wasn't on the page I linked.

Mate, get up to speed ... I decided to actually care for a minute ... and within 2 found this ... which refutes everything you have said about mormon sins ...

In Mormon theology, gambling is not strictly forbidden, like smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol or beverages with caffeine; it is viewed as a lesser transgression, an evil "based on the morally wrong philosophy of getting something for nothing, of taking money without giving fair value in return."

I'll reiterate for you, gambling is not strictly forbidden, like smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol or beverages with caffeine; it is viewed as a lesser transgression, ....

But, i still don't give a rat's ...

No offence taken, was just unsure of the context of your comments in relation to mine.

So what's the point of your post mate?

Are you just arguing the semantics of the definition of the word "sin" compared to "forbidden" & trying to avoid the point my post made in response to yours (in which you hypothetically assumed the players shock at people not respecting their core beliefs in refusing to wear a rainbow jersey) to which I raised the point that they had in fact chosen to waive their beliefs to play in a jersey advertising gambling, at a ground advertising alcohol, while covered in tattoos, all of which are sins(or "forbidden") by the Mormon church instead?
