Does this mean they have "The Truth?" And if not, how is one persecution more truthworthy than another?

my fault. according to quite a few who post on these boards, a religion is shown to be The Truth when it's persecuted. so, is Catholicism and Trinitarian-ism the truth? if not, what makes your religious persecution more Truthworthy than the persecution heaped on catholics and those who believe the trinity?

seems people think their religion is being persecuted when in fact the religion is just plain not liked. Hurt feelings don't equal persecution.

You said "according to quite a few who post on these boards, a religion is shown to be The Truth when it's persecuted."
Every religion has been persecuted at times, and we know that not every religion is the truth.
Believing in anything (Protestantism, Catholicism, Atheism, Patriotism, Capitalism, Unitarianism, Socialism, etc) will get you some persecution - sometimes just, sometimes idiotic.
If you want to know the TRUTH, pray for G-D to show you the TRUTH.

Although I am going to pick one over other here, I believe no persecution is more than just that, a persecution.
Its not just the magnitude of what you suffer, but the consistency with which you would suffer that is great in the Eyes of God.
Trinitarian persecution is definitely greater in suffering than Catholic persecution, for the simple reason that when someone is rejecting or persecuting Trinity, that person is rejecting God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. This means, none of God's beautiful and loving forms are being accepted by the persecutionist.
Anyone who rejects the Trinity is living in complete darkness and is spiritually dead. Believe me, I have been there, done that and been forgiven by God's mercy.
There is a lot of injustice in the world. That does not mean that we should harden our hearts. We must submit and surrender to the Will of our Father. The "Prayer of Serenity" teaches exactly this point - give me the courage to face and accept what I cannot change.
Because it is not in this life on earth (which is God's footstool) that we need to save up, but we MUST save up enough wealth to enter the Gates of His Residence which is Heaven.

Uhhh It's Persecution? It's not something you can put "Trust" in?
EDIT: "a religion is shown to be The Truth when it's persecuted"
Bullsh*t and nonsense
Just because somone doesn't like something doesn't mean that something "is shown to be the truth"
How about I beat people who believe in leprechauns with a stick. Do leprechauns exist now?

Persecution? no the true is revealing cause you can´t support a lie for a long time and now is the time, if that is peresution then the evildoers can claim the same thing in the judgement day.
Persecution was the inquisition, the crusades , the holocaust supported by the catholic bishop of Germany that helps Hitler reach the power, Von Papen.

Hi, Pedi:
Your definition of persecution means thinking people are insulted by Muslims and Catholics that deny their murderous history, and their delusion that they must save the world for Allah or Mary; and Muslims think they must save the world from the Godhead.

Answers can bad mouth and criticize but one is able to "persecute" anyone else on Yahoo Answers. Please look up the meaning of persecution.

Interestingly, those that have the most of persecution, and not prejudiced upon, holds more truth. Catholics are the truth. We do not say other denominations are wrong, but they ought not to give themselves too much power, for such will lead to Devil's act - one thinking highly of himself and others (including God/Bible) wrong. Also, We don't pray to Mother Mary (Don't be fooled), but we Invite Her to pray with us to God, Our Lord.
