Haven’t seen that yet, but will certainly let you know when I have.

Bobby any comment on the new DVD coming from the Mormons. We have had it from 2 sources so far. It is very subtle. Plenty about Christ & resurrection, but no mrntion of Their prophet.Joseoh Smith. Aimed at Christians and non christians. Revd. Iain Stewart

A sweet little old lady is walking to Sunday morning services at her church. A young man approaches her and slaps her in the face. Does it even matter why he did it? Does anyone care why he did it? And what would hurt the old girl most … a slap to her face, or telling her that her religion is false, born of Satan?

It is the affront I object to, not the reason for it.

Nobody can prove the existence or non-existence of God or of the legitimacy of a particular church or denomination. Why not let each believer to their own beliefs, from which they get meaning and purpose and comfort and hope, so long as they aren’t strapping on bombs?

What… Joseph Smith was a fraud, and Benny Hinn represents the real Christ? :)) Beam me up. guv.

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate if you are new to sites like this it may seem a little strange or even offensive that such a site should exist. I hope you will hang around long enough to at least see why, from my perspective why this site exists.

Sadly from your opening comment I am not sure you are really paying attention to what we are saying. Mormons seem to very commonly commit the “Ad hominem” fallacy, which is to ignore the point being made, and simply criticise the person making it, your comment here seems to be a textbook one of those. Did you not read the article, or did it actually make a fair point?

With regards to the giving we get about £40 a month, none of which supplements my income.

In the interest of good future discussion, might you consider asking why I do this, rather than assuming bad intentions.

I hope you will comment again bud, good to have you here.

A product of bad upbringing.

Of course, you’re living off the land (“Please Support Us”) so I doubt considerate behavior means anything to you.
