Wow, when you look at it that way, that is exactly what they are doing, basically leading its members "carefully down to hell".

Try the frog trick and watch it jump out as the water temperature rises. Nothing but a lie just like "eye of the needle" entrance to Jerusalem. Religion thrives on lies.

Why wouldn't L-d$,inc follow Satan's plan. The Temple teaches us he is the God of This World - and since no one can possibly live up to every promise made in "this temple, this day" we are in his power.

L-d$,inc firmly believes the first principal of the Gospel is "You can buy anything in this world for money" - and they actively practice it.

Moreover; the Frog in Boiling Water analogy is a Myth and has been debunked several times.

And this is a good catch on your part.

The thing about Masonic based groups like this who believe in subverting free will, there are universal laws that they believe can't be broken, those laws require them to disclose their plans in "plain sight" but obscure and vague enough that they are able to fool the sheep, while telling their game plan. They believe that's how their "Magic" works.

No seer stone--->Yeah Ok, there was a seer stone--->The seer stone is like this thing you use every day--->Seer stones are better than iphones

Checks out

Not only that, but Mormons are taught that Satan's plan limited free will to the point where we would always choose "good." Sounds a lot like how the Church operates.

On October 25, 1966, Ezra Benson gave a BYU devotional entitled "Our Immediate Responsibility". In that speech he related and experience where he spent a half day hosting Khrushchev when he visited the U.S. He said Khrushchev, "in substance", made the following statement:

You Americans are so gullible. No you won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and you find you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you fall like over-ripe fruit into our hands.

The irony of this statement is that is exactly the same approach the church is trying to take with the whole "innoculation" effort. Look what happens when you replace "Communism" with "Joe Smith's Con":

"You Mormons are so gullible. No you won’t accept Joseph Smith's Con outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Joseph Smith's Con until you’ll finally wake up and you find you already have Joseph Smith's Con. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you fall like over-ripe fruit into our hands."

I think the real question here is: Why does Satan want a boiled frog?

I will repeat what I just wrote on another thread:

Milk before meat? Fuck that. I'm a carnivore for truth and frankly, I'm lactose intolerant, especially for dairy full of bullshit.

Inoculation works the same way.

Here, read some very apologetic and carefully worded essays. "Thanks, These really assuaged my doubts". Oh, here's a tidbit about a seer stone. "I've always known about that".

By giving little bits of information slowly over time, the shock of finding all of it out at once reduces greatly.

He does know this is complete bullshit right? A frog will jump out of the water when it reaches an uncomfortable level - 100% of the time.

SOOOOOOOOOO, what he is saying is that Mormons are not as bright as frogs?

I said it once and I'll say it again. It sounds exactly like the temple video when Satan talks to the audience about receiving the message and he says very well except for these people don't want to believe what is being said. That really got me. And the fact that I saw that so clearly and yet most TBM won't, is what kind of amazes me.

Good catch!

Well, why mess up a perfectly good and effective plan?

Mental gymnastics - God came up with it first, Satan just borrowed and twisted it (even though the model is exactly the same).

Another example that is rather prevalent here in Utah: preach free will, but legislate morals. It constantly amazes me that the TBMs can't see the blatant hypocrisy.

Last time I heard the missionary discussions (not all that long ago), they were still teaching that the stifling of free will was part of Satan's plan.

Can't believe this hasn't been said BUT:

Not pertinent to my salvation

Btw for anyone into science, you actually cannot boil a frog like this and it has been proven wrong many times. The frog will jump out just like any other animal.

Glenn Beck did this trick on TV once. You see him throw the frog in the water and later floating. You never see them swimming though. Many offended viewers wrote or called in to complain. Glenn had to retract his theatrics by explaining it was...

a plastic frog.

I love the opening line "if Satan wanted to boil a frog..."

I've never understood that analogy. Obviously, if the pan is shallow enough for the frog to jump out of, he's going to jump out of it (probably long before the water changes temperature)! If the water it too deep, then there's nothing it can do. The idea that the rate of temperature change has anything to do with it is absurd.

What a creepy analogy to use

If Satan had a plan to destroy the agency of man, he would have refused to tempt anyone from day one. Once our heads are clear of possible actions that would oppose God's will, man has no choice and God becomes King of the dictatorship similar to the Celestial Kingdom he's trying so hard to sell us on.

Solid perspective. Thank you.
