PTI stands for Papertrey Ink. This is a collective smack blog and Papertrey Ink review page. Papertrey Ink's continuously poor customer service has lead to a page dedicated to discussion of this stamp company and recommendations for alternative stamp companies. Minimal censorship here- I prefer to leave it up to posters' discretion.
The opinions posted on this blog belong to our visitors and we are not paid for our honest reviews ;)
I can't believe that you think a vote for Obama is a vote to have control over your body. Have you read anything at all about Obamacare?! That's government control to the extreme! And do you really want your wealth redistributed? Socialism doesnt work! eventually the money runs out! Obama cannot have four more years of tearing this country down.
Do I think Romney is the perfect person for the job? No. But I do believe he has the knowledge and experience to rebuild our economy. And I believe he actually cares about our country as opposed to Obama's not-so-secret disdain.
Not at all. SS funds come from an employe e's and employer' contributions and are simply saved until the persons retirement or reaches a certain age. Hardly socialism.
if you think your social security comes from your contributions you are sadly misinformed. you pay in a fraction of what the government gives out. it is socialism. so is medicare. I'm not saying you should or should not support these programs but you should see them for what they are. everyone hates taxes and loves benefits. we cannot have it both ways. all i want is an honest debate, not name calling. :)
I voted for Obama 4 years ago. He promised change. I do not like the direction our country is going. We are so much in debt thanks to him! This is not what I want for my children or my children's children. Romney has my vote this time. I too am not a fan of Romney, but to me he is the better choice.
Obama did not put us into debt. 2 wars and Bush did that. If you think Romney is going to line your pockets, think again, unless you are already a millionaire.
A Romney presidency would benefit me personally from a tax perspective, but I can't even think about who he would put on the Supreme Court or the extent to which by benefitting me he would harm pretty much everyone else. I wish Obama had been able to do more, but I certainly prefer him to Romney.
14:10 I am 13:19 and I totally agree with you. Obama needs to go. He is wrong for this country. What I was saying if anyone votes for him they are voting in socialism because that's what he's aiming for. Bigger government, more intrusion into our lives and redistribution of wealth. Not to mention he let those Americans die in Benghazi. If we are attacked on our own soil will he ignore those cries for help too. He's nothing but a Chicago punk thug.
I don't vote on social issues. I vote on economics and Romney has my vote. I think he has what it takes to do the job. Obama has put us deeper in debt, more so in 4 years than Bush did in 8 years.
I am an international, and live in a country where we have free healthcare, and a good social security system. I truly don't understand the typical disdain for these systems that I read from American's. I LOVE that I can take my children to a hospital for treatment, and not have to worry about a large invoice arriving for me. Yes, our taxes may be higher than yours, but the benefits for all outweigh that IMHO. I admit I don't know anything about Romney, but I do know that Obama & democrats fit more with my way of thinking, which is more geared towards the collective & not the individual.
I love how naive folks are to think the social issues won't A) come back to bite them or someone they are close to in the butt someday and B) affect the economy when all of our personal freedoms start disappearing.
Also another international here - 18:57 and I might live in the same country with free healthcare, and it is good healthcare too, good social security system, pension benefits etc. We have our choice of doctors and the government does not control our bodies/healthcare. And we survived the recession. Following the debates on the USA system isn't too easy from this distance, but Obama inherited a helluva lot of problems and seems to have done a reasonable job; nothing is perfect. Don't know anything about Mr Romney either but the Obama/democrats way does seem to be more for 'all the people'.

Boring. I can get this tripe anywhere. But apparently there is not enough fodder to keep it interesting. It's more fun when there is a CS issue! I am a sad, sad person for thinking that. So you don't have to blast me for being honest.
The Nordic system for socialism is pretty clear proof that socialism can work. I think not agreeing to wealth distribution is down to an individual basis, whether or not you are willing to help other people, to contribute more of yourself to the better good of everyone.
Obama has done more for US after the crap he had to deal with after Bush and he has plans for clean energy- he is thinking down the future. Romney only wants to look to the coal industry, and everyone knows one day we will just run out of that. I'd say to try to look from the other side- if you were trapped in a situation where if the world would just be a slightly nicer place and give you a foot up when you are down.. Where you don't have to die from illness because you can't even have medical care.
Life can be a little more fair if we'd share a bit more imho, and not just have the 'Me First' mentality.
I work in a system where taxpayer's money goes to trying to help others get their crap together and do better, but I see the efforts and money wasted daily as people take advantage and do nothing in return.
We need job creation. Jobs may not cure everything but more people having jobs means more taxes being paid, more money to consume goods and services, more money to buy houses (or pay for the one you are in), more people with health insurance, less reliance on governmental programs, etc.
That is the most critical need in this country. We need to encourage economic growth through tax incentives, less regulations, etc.
I'm all for helping those who cannot work (the ill, the elderly) but not those that 2:58 mentions.
I'm looking for isosceles triangle nesting dies for christmas tree cards. Anyone know where I could find these? Like the Spellbinders Nested Pennants but with more sizes.
I just wanted to clariify. There is no such thing as free heathcare. If you pay taxes, you pay for healthcare as well as other public programs. Never considered myself a socialist but maybe I am.
Who are you? Are you with the party of compassion? The party that believes each person deserves basic human rights? Or are you with the party of the individual? As long as you get what you want let the others suffer? I think this elections shows OUR personalities and our characters more than anything.
Thought I would pay my weekly visit to this blog - must have come to the wrong place. Will come back after the elections. This reminds me of the dinner party where one should never discuss religion, politics, etc. No one will agree with you so just go with your heart and vote for the one you hope will do the best they can. Good luck with your choice.
Being a Conservative and against big government doesn't mean one doesn't have compassion. We simply believe that the government should keep its nose out of certain things. I, for one, am sick of seeing my freedoms being yanked away under the guise of "compassion". It's not true compassion if you're forced to do it.
just please remember that big government gave us some good things that almost NO one wants taken away -- medicare, social security, veterans benefits, interstate transportation, satellite communications (through NASA), national institutes of health, the CDC, the military, to name a few.
I totally understand the desire to curb govt and agree with it, but Romney has proposed a 5% across the board cut. It is on his website. Don't come whining when and if your $$ is cut. Also it is impossible to cut government without cutting medicare, medicaid, social security and the military. The big 4 and the debt make up the lion's share of the budget.
Let's get real -- almost all americans (except the wackos in a cabin in the woods) are responsible for the mess we are in.
I hope if Romney wins, as I think he will, that he succeeds in making this a healthier country. But i hope he loses. I have a kid who is 24 and i need her to stay on my health insurance. She is on chemo.
Pray for her please. I will vote for Obama because I have no way of paying for her to stay on my health insurance and while she will "probably" stay on chemo, she won't be able to afford some of the many other medicines that she really needs.
In addition, romney is probably an ok guy but he is in the pocket of the right wing. no thanks.
Prayers for your daughter. Obama has YOUR back. Obama is turning things around and we cannot stop it in midstream. Romney will be worse than Bush and will take society back 30 years and every single person, except for the really rich will suffer.
No matter who is elected, government budgets will be cut and taxes will be raised. No one is saying this but it will happen. The debt burden must be dealt with.

Me thinks a lot of stampers here are republican mormons. I don't trust Mitt. If you don't mind him getting all his counsel from their prophet then go ahead and vote for him. You are kidding yourself if you think he won't be influenced by the mo mo church.
Mormonism has a very cultish basis in that they believe only Mormons are true Christians and everyone else is wrong. They also believe in some power in outer space called Kobob or something like that, not to mention the magic underwear, which is not a myth as my DIL showed it to me.
For those of us who are Americans, this election had darn well be the center of our universe right now. More than ever, this particular election is going to determine the state of this country for the next 30 years. Our state of the union will affect the world economy and world peace.
My point, 15:02, is back then "they" were saying the pope was going to be running the US, making all the decisions. Like 13:43 is saying the "profit" will be calling the shots.
I'm liking the new SSS dies and stamps as well... But they're not shipping till early November?? Cutting it too close for me I'm almost done my Christmas cards...
I am wealthy and will be voting for Romney. I don't care who he takes direction from. Just so long as he stops all these poor, lazy bitches from stealing my money at tax time. Living in this country does not entitle you to my money. Get a job.

Gotta say THIS ^ is what worries me. Living in the South pretty much makes me dislike all religion, especially those that feel the need to spread the word that they are the true believers of Jesus Christ.
I've become closer to God sitting in my craft room than I EVER did when I was going to church three times a week. (Trying to pray the gay away, needless to say, I'm still gay. *big smile*) My poor mother wants me to go to church so bad. It ain't gonna happen.
Anyway, the idea that some old white dude with a supposed "direct line" to God could be pulling the strings REALLY bothers me.
One of my former coworkers in a Mormon (Yes, they are even in Alabama.) and to see her post on FB just leaves me dumbfounded. She's twice divorced and on government assistance, yet is too stupid to realize that she's supporting a candidate whose policies would negatively affect her.
The peachycheap deal looks pretty good. However, after organizing 6x6 pads yesterday, I definitely don't need any more paper. It's a sickness, I tell ya.
I know! I organized my 6x6 pads yesterday too and was tempted, but I already have 2 take note and if I want the basics I can go buy one (got take note free from Archiver's)
One interesting point - studio calico 6x6 are smaller than MME 6x6, go figure
Also - Archiver's is doing free a free MME 6x6 this week if you buy $30 of MME products.
I heard that when Obama loses, he is going to work for Customer Service at PTI and he will fix their website, their crappy ink and make everything all pretty and nice again. Oh wait....should we trust him to do that when he couldn't do anything the past four years? Obama "don't look at what I did in the past, look at what I am going to do"...whatever - I trust him like I trust Nichole and company to clean up their act. WAKE UP YOU MORONS!
When Romney goes to work at PTI, he will double the prices so Nichole can add a swimming pool. Postage will be $50 a package and if you don't like it, he will make you have an ultrasound. He will take away your rights to stamp on Sundays, as it is against his religion, and because he is a Mormon he will be made CEO right away. Stamps will now be made in China and your discounts will be stored in the Caymans.
Us internationals are just waiting for the elections to be over. When is that November 6th? I can wait. No use getting all annoyed with it. Two peas is bombarded with it, along with CNN, and every other website I visit.
I just have one question. If either one is elected, do you think one of them really has the power to do change, to make good on their promises. I can't help think that the soon to be president is just merely a frontman for the real decision makers, whoever they may be.
International here with a dumb question. How did Romney do as governor? Did his religious beliefs influence his job performance in anyway? Why are people worried about his religious background and not have the same worry about Obama's?
I'm really annoyed today at Impress Rubber. I ordered some Fresh Inks last Wednesday and haven't heard a word from them since. Sent an email today and still no reply. This is a first-time order for me, based on recommendations from here, and I'm most NOT impressed.
Lazy international. I took it that both Dems and Repubs did not like him as governor. It was said once he was elected, he basically didn't do much. But that's my concise take on what I've read and what not. Says a lot when your own party doesn't like ya though!
7:32 If Obama wins he bails out PTI with your money. He redistributes items from the large orders to the small orders so everyone has a fair shot at getting stamps they didn't pay for. Let the rich pay for it. Then he takes billions of your money to give loans to build red rubber stamps companies owned by his cronies and supporters. Ooopps not a good idea, nobody's buying them. The companies fail. Billions of taxpayer money wasted.
This PTI smack might be a thing of the past soon - obviously no-one is complaining on the forums any more. If they have a problem it is probably whisked off to the Zen desk thingey. Maybe their orders/sales are well down and orders are arriving quicker. They are obviously not doing anything about international postage options - the internationals seem to have moved on anyway. Hard to smack something that seems to no longer exist.
I think this blog was a good service making people aware of the issues. This point going forward is redundant. People can still read of the past issues if they are new to the scene.
Me personally if I have a problem with a company and it works out satisfactorily (sp?) i consided it a private matter
There are those who aren't ordering anymore, thus no new reasons to smack
There are those who never had issues, thus not much reason to smack
and there are those who still order, cautiously, but aren't surprised when things get effed up, so why bother smacking or posting on the boards where it will get them a warning and whisked away....
So while I don't believe things are better at PTI, I think the smacking isn't such a big thing because it is par for the course now.
PTI now meets the level of expectation that everyone is used to. It is not good, but it is why people eat at McDonalds when there are better places to eat. They accept it.
and the fact that the 3 owners are willing to settle for that is pathetic and shows what immoral folks they are. What happened to America, where businesses wanted to be a part of the community and gave a crap about their reputation.
That is what is killing America, not all the other political crap.
This is a hobby. The items I buy are not life and death so I doubt they are killing America. Should it become troublesome I will move on. Again this is just my hobby
I ordered from Mama Elephant two weeks ago and I haven't received my stamps yet. I chalk it up to me living in Canada. I'll give it another week.
SSS orders are always slow no matter where you live, apparently.
My last PTI order didn't come so I followed up with the Zen Desk and the issue was resolved quickly. I opted for the refund since my desire for the order had diminished and the refund was issued quite quickly.
What does it matter when it comes to Mormon beliefs? What makes the Mormon religion any more or less valid than the Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim religions?
It is so funny to watch those of a particular faith judge those of a different faith. Do you have to put down someone else and their beliefs in order to justify your own belief system?
God is all-inclusive, never exclusive. He (or She) is there for anyone who honestly seeks God.
It is the whole mindset that they are the chosen, the only chosen, and their beliefs are the only true ones that really bother me when Romney says he will follow his religion in making all decisions in life. Too scary to risk.
Damn. I don't know what I hate reading about more, religion or politics.
At least most of us agreed on PTI's crappy customer service. Now it's just a bunch of nutjobs trying to convince the other nutjobs that they are right.
Lonely because I don't like reading about religion or politics? Um, no, sorry. I have my own beliefs and listening to everybody here bicker about their own is not entertaining to me.

A vote for Obama is a vote for socialism.
do you approve of medicare and social security? if so, you are a socialist.
a vote for Romney is a vote against coffee and alcohol in the white house.
I can't believe that you think a vote for Obama is a vote to have control over your body. Have you read anything at all about Obamacare?! That's government control to the extreme! And do you really want your wealth redistributed? Socialism doesnt work! eventually the money runs out! Obama cannot have four more years of tearing this country down.

Open your eyes, people!
Not at all. SS funds come from an employe e's and employer' contributions and are simply saved until the persons retirement or reaches a certain age. Hardly socialism.
Do your kids go to school? Do you drive on the roads? Do you go to the library? You are a socialist.
if you think your social security comes from your contributions you are sadly misinformed. you pay in a fraction of what the government gives out. it is socialism. so is medicare.

Our economy was fine until the democrats took control of Congress in 2006. Check your facts.

Thank you for not voting on what would benefit you personally. Thank you for being a part of the whole.

I am sure the stamp companies love that this has turned into a political blog. Keep it going. PTI and the others bashed here can relax for a while.
Can I ask how the poster from the last thread knows about Gina K ink?
WooHoo, Impress has 3 new colors of Fresh Ink!
I am curious what the internationals think about the candidates in the 2012 election.

^^OOps, sorry, double post; not sure how that happened.
Obama keeps passing Executive Orders that take away our constitutional rights. That's why I want him gone.
Oh yeah, and: stamping and stuff. :-)
Obama has passed about a dozen orders. Bush passed over 100.
As of today, Obama has signed 141 executive orders. Check your facts.

00:05 I am tired of Obama throwing away our tax dollars on his failed green energy companies. Billions of our hard earned money wasted.
I don't want my president controlling the internet either. This guy is dangerous.
I would rather read the the dt's fake sunshine posts. Have fun.
I went to Archivers and bought one sheet of paper and some fancy stick pins. Nothing new or exciting.
I'm looking for isosceles triangle nesting dies for christmas tree cards. Anyone know where I could find these? Like the Spellbinders Nested Pennants but with more sizes.

As long as you get what you want let the others suffer? I think this elections shows OUR personalities and our characters more than anything.
America was founded for individual rights and beliefs. To escape big government. Don't get it twisted.
Whether you're far left or far right, both are equally dangerous mind sets.
Thought I would pay my weekly visit to this blog - must have come to the wrong place. Will come back after the elections.
This reminds me of the dinner party where one should never discuss religion, politics, etc. No one will agree with you so just go with your heart and vote for the one you hope will do the best they can. Good luck with your choice.

Do you actually think that your rabid rants are going to change what other people think? Shut up already.
I have no interest in your politics.
There. How do you like reading my stupid, off topic rant?
Spam, spam, spam, you are not the center of the universe, spam, spam, shut up, you suck, spam.
Get a room already.
If stamping and PTI smacking are the most important things right now, if probably is best if you don't vote.
Where can I get Gina K ink. I went to her site and they aren't there?
Um, I'll check in after the elections too....blech
gina k ink not out yet.
love kristina werner's new holiday stamps.
Liking a lot at Simon Says Stamp, including Kristina's sets.
$5 off an order with code oct5. Not sure if you have to have a certain size of order to use the code.
Gina's ink yet unreleased. It was a troll bluffing that she had used it.
Me thinks a lot of stampers here are republican mormons. I don't trust Mitt. If you don't mind him getting all his counsel from their prophet then go ahead and vote for him. You are kidding yourself if you think he won't be influenced by the mo mo church.
I'm old enough to remember "them" saying the same thing about JFK and the pope.
I'm no fan of moronism. Read about that "religion" if you don't know anything about it.

13:54, things didn't turn out well for JFK. Not sure if that is a good comparison.
My point, 15:02, is back then "they" were saying the pope was going to be running the US, making all the decisions. Like 13:43 is saying the "profit" will be calling the shots.
I'm liking the new SSS dies and stamps as well...
But they're not shipping till early November?? Cutting it too close for me I'm almost done my Christmas cards...
There's always next year, 15:56. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
I kinda like those trees and the holiday labels. And for non-Christmas, the talk bubbles.
I am wealthy and will be voting for Romney. I don't care who he takes direction from. Just so long as he stops all these poor, lazy bitches from stealing my money at tax time. Living in this country does not entitle you to my money. Get a job.

Me thinks a lot of stampers here are republican mormons. I don't trust Mitt. If you don't mind him getting all his counsel from their prophet then go ahead and vote for him. You are kidding yourself if you think he won't be influenced by the mo mo church.

Gotta say THIS ^ is what worries me. Living in the South pretty much makes me dislike all religion, especially those that feel the need to spread the word that they are the true believers of Jesus Christ.
I've become closer to God sitting in my craft room than I EVER did when I was going to church three times a week. (Trying to pray the gay away, needless to say, I'm still gay. *big smile*) My poor mother wants me to go to church so bad. It ain't gonna happen.
Anyway, the idea that some old white dude with a supposed "direct line" to God could be pulling the strings REALLY bothers me.
One of my former coworkers in a Mormon (Yes, they are even in Alabama.) and to see her post on FB just leaves me dumbfounded. She's twice divorced and on government assistance, yet is too stupid to realize that she's supporting a candidate whose policies would negatively affect her.
22:47, what are these constitutional rights that have been taken away by Pres. Obama's executive orders? Have you even read them?
I've always considered myself a Republican, but I wouldn't even buy a used car from Romney.
This will be my first time voting for a Democrat for president.
Me, too.
Becky Higgins has big news all this week... Any guesses?
Also, studio calico on peachycheap today!
The peachycheap deal looks pretty good. However, after organizing 6x6 pads yesterday, I definitely don't need any more paper. It's a sickness, I tell ya.
'... yet is too stupid to realize that she's supporting a candidate whose policies would negatively affect her. '
True dat.
For half the country.
Obama will win though : )
@2:29 (I'm 21:14)
I know! I organized my 6x6 pads yesterday too and was tempted, but I already have 2 take note and if I want the basics I can go buy one (got take note free from Archiver's)
One interesting point - studio calico 6x6 are smaller than MME 6x6, go figure
Also - Archiver's is doing free a free MME 6x6 this week if you buy $30 of MME products.
If I quit buying paper, I could retire.
I heard that when Obama loses, he is going to work for Customer Service at PTI and he will fix their website, their crappy ink and make everything all pretty and nice again. Oh wait....should we trust him to do that when he couldn't do anything the past four years? Obama "don't look at what I did in the past, look at what I am going to do"...whatever - I trust him like I trust Nichole and company to clean up their act. WAKE UP YOU MORONS!
When Romney goes to work at PTI, he will double the prices so Nichole can add a swimming pool. Postage will be $50 a package and if you don't like it, he will make you have an ultrasound. He will take away your rights to stamp on Sundays, as it is against his religion, and because he is a Mormon he will be made CEO right away. Stamps will now be made in China and your discounts will be stored in the Caymans.
Get used to it---

Please change the name and description of this blog to election smack. Thank you.
7:32, LOL! Love it.
Wheres the grammar lady? All this political crap has to have grammatical errors.
I am sorry to the people who dont live in the USA. My apologies for inflicting this crap on you. Sincerely I am
Us internationals are just waiting for the elections to be over. When is that November 6th? I can wait. No use getting all annoyed with it. Two peas is bombarded with it, along with CNN, and every other website I visit.
I just have one question. If either one is elected, do you think one of them really has the power to do change, to make good on their promises. I can't help think that the soon to be president is just merely a frontman for the real decision makers, whoever they may be.
International here with a dumb question. How did Romney do as governor? Did his religious beliefs influence his job performance in anyway? Why are people worried about his religious background and not have the same worry about Obama's?
I'm really annoyed today at Impress Rubber. I ordered some Fresh Inks last Wednesday and haven't heard a word from them since. Sent an email today and still no reply. This is a first-time order for me, based on recommendations from here, and I'm most NOT impressed.
Oh, and my order from SSS, which I ordered two days before my PTI October release one, still hasn't arrived. PTI arrived last Wednesday.
Make It Monday this week: Ginko is not a vine, it is a tree. It drives me up the wall that she keeps calling it a vine. End of rant.
Lazy international. I took it that both Dems and Repubs did not like him as governor. It was said once he was elected, he basically didn't do much. But that's my concise take on what I've read and what not. Says a lot when your own party doesn't like ya though!
Ordered from CAS-ual Friday Stamps on 10/26, arrived today!
My order from SSS, placed 10/21, has not shown up yet. Nothing from the pre-order on it. I think my orders have been taking about 10days.
Seriously, only 3 business days later and you are made at Impress?
7:32 If Obama wins he bails out PTI with your money. He redistributes items from the large orders to the small orders so everyone has a fair shot at getting stamps they didn't pay for. Let the rich pay for it. Then he takes billions of your money to give loans to build red rubber stamps companies owned by his cronies and supporters. Ooopps not a good idea, nobody's buying them. The companies fail. Billions of taxpayer money wasted.
13:02, I agree with your rant, but you might want to spell it correctly if you're going to be nit-picky. It's ginkgo.

16:11, when you use 6 languages all day long, a little capital here and there is not important to me. I am an international.
This PTI smack might be a thing of the past soon - obviously no-one is complaining on the forums any more. If they have a problem it is probably whisked off to the Zen desk thingey. Maybe their orders/sales are well down and orders are arriving quicker.
They are obviously not doing anything about international postage options - the internationals seem to have moved on anyway.
Hard to smack something that seems to no longer exist.
Forgot to add - the ink and impression plates problems seem to have been buried somewhere too.
I agree 20:09. It seems that a lot of people have moved on.
I think this blog was a good service making people aware of the issues. This point going forward is redundant. People can still read of the past issues if they are new to the scene.
Me personally if I have a problem with a company and it works out satisfactorily (sp?) i consided it a private matter
So PTI is all good now and safe to order from and everything is solved?
Has anyone tried Alley Way Stamps?
Oh my gosh. Just watched MIM. Enough with the incessant tapping!
There are those who aren't ordering anymore, thus no new reasons to smack
There are those who never had issues, thus not much reason to smack
and there are those who still order, cautiously, but aren't surprised when things get effed up, so why bother smacking or posting on the boards where it will get them a warning and whisked away....
So while I don't believe things are better at PTI, I think the smacking isn't such a big thing because it is par for the course now.
Agree 0758
PTI now meets the level of expectation that everyone is used to. It is not good, but it is why people eat at McDonalds when there are better places to eat. They accept it.
and the fact that the 3 owners are willing to settle for that is pathetic and shows what immoral folks they are. What happened to America, where businesses wanted to be a part of the community and gave a crap about their reputation.
That is what is killing America, not all the other political crap.
This is a hobby. The items I buy are not life and death so I doubt they are killing America. Should it become troublesome I will move on. Again this is just my hobby
I ordered from Mama Elephant two weeks ago and I haven't received my stamps yet. I chalk it up to me living in Canada. I'll give it another week.
SSS orders are always slow no matter where you live, apparently.
My last PTI order didn't come so I followed up with the Zen Desk and the issue was resolved quickly. I opted for the refund since my desire for the order had diminished and the refund was issued quite quickly.
I'm in Switzerland and my Mama Elephant order came in FOUR days. Wow!
Hmmm very interesting 12:18. Maybe I should contact their customer service.

Can any of the Mormons who post here verify which parts of this are or are not true.
17:47, I am, and everything on that blog post is true.
I am, and everything on that blog post IS NOT true.
What about the planet Kolob stuff?
I am, and everything on that blog post IS NOT true.

Ditto.
What does it matter when it comes to Mormon beliefs? What makes the Mormon religion any more or less valid than the Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim religions?
It is so funny to watch those of a particular faith judge those of a different faith. Do you have to put down someone else and their beliefs in order to justify your own belief system?
God is all-inclusive, never exclusive. He (or She) is there for anyone who honestly seeks God.
Or not....
Because all religions think they are the only 'true' religion and the only ones who will be saved
Fanatics are super exclusive...surely you can see the irony in your comment
It is the whole mindset that they are the chosen, the only chosen, and their beliefs are the only true ones that really bother me when Romney says he will follow his religion in making all decisions in life. Too scary to risk.
sounds like every other religion to me. we are all chosen
Damn. I don't know what I hate reading about more, religion or politics.
At least most of us agreed on PTI's crappy customer service. Now it's just a bunch of nutjobs trying to convince the other nutjobs that they are right.
feel sorry for you. you must be so lonely.
Lonely because I don't like reading about religion or politics? Um, no, sorry. I have my own beliefs and listening to everybody here bicker about their own is not entertaining to me.
