The Salt Lake Tribune published an interesting article yesterday about the public image of the LDS Church. They reported at the Mormon Media Studies held at BYU this week, Professor Terryl Givens (a Mormon) from the University of Richmond in Virgina made a very enlightening comment on how the Church is not being taken seriously in […]
I have to say it’s always an interesting day when the LDS Church builds a new temple. The link below will take you to a quick little video of how the new temple will look. One of our volunteers alerted me to look closely at the graphic when the video gets to 1:58. Take a […]
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail through the Life After Ministries website. This gentleman informed me that quoting from the LDS authorized book Mortal Messiah, written by Bruce McConkie, was proof I didn’t know the difference between Mormon doctrine and the gospel. I would respond to him privately but he’s blocked my IP […]
The GodMakers books and films have led thousands of people to the Lord. My personal experience with the series came about in 1983. While living in Oklahoma City I was asked by a co-worker if I’d come over to her home and watch it on television. Half way through the film I was so aghast […]
THE INFLUENCE OF JOSEPH SMITH To say the Mormons worship Joseph Smith in every sense of the word would be an understatement. There are many subject matters within the doctrines of Mormonism that warrant a closer look and this is definitely one of those times. The influence Joseph Smith has had on people is mind […]
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRIPLE COMBINATION There are so many subjects in this topic that people could write books about it; in fact a few of my good friends have! The contradictions within the writings of the LDS Church are vast so I am not going to go into much detail here. Suffice it […]
In the past month you may have noticed the new Mormon ads popping up during the commercial breaks of your favorite television shows. This new ad campaign is a nationwide endeavor by the Mormon Church to inform the world they’re just like everyone else. I find this very interesting considering the whole premise behind Mormonism […]
The Bible: Why Joseph Smith Hated the Word of God Throughout the annals of history we can see a number of people who have despised and maligned the word of God. They’re kind of like missionaries, but with a twist. One of the most memorable for me (Mormonism aside) is found in the Old […]
Many new ideas stemmed from the visions of Joseph Smith. As we begin our foundation series I felt it was better to begin here with testimonies. If it weren’t for the testimony of Smith, everything in Mormonism is all for naught. “No testimony is more significant to us in our time than the witness of Joseph Smith.” […]
This particular teaching of the LDS Church is one of the three main reasons I left the Mormon Church. In order to believe in Mormonism, the acceptance of man living with God before the earth was created is a must. They teach that mankind was created spiritually through a sexual union between God and one […]
