The Salt Lake Tribunereported on the Church’s stats for last year, and boy was it ever worthy of attention! 2018 was a dubious year for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They saw 140,868 members leave their fold. In addition to that news, the Church also set another record. There was a mere net […]
General Conference, ‘Endure to be Lifted Up,’ April 1997; “The supreme benefits of membership in the Church can only be realized only through the exalting ordinances of the temple. These blessings qualify us for “thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers” in the celestial kingdom.” – Russell M. Nelson Isaiah 42:8; “I am the LORD: that is my name: […]
Deuteronomy 28:66; “And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life”.

You can read their review here: http://mormonapologeticstudies.org/2012/10/07/a-message-some-christians-wouldnt-hear-at-general-conference/ Now one of the authors for that site is a gentleman by the name of […]
October 2012 For the past five years I’ve prayed for the salvation of those who are trapped in the Mormon religion. I’ve thought about what it would be like for the prophet to get up and deliver a message like the one below. To call all the church members to repentance, and to say that […]
General Conference April 2012 No Ordinary Blessing Every faithful Mormon waits with bated breath to hear what message the men who they view as prophets, seers, and revelators of God, might have for them that day. I can’t tell you what a thrill they get to hear these men speak, as they hang on every […]
General Conference October 2011, Part 2 Matthew 24:36; “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Twice a year the Mormon Church holds their conferences as a time for members to hear the words spoken by the General Authorities and be inspired for another […]
