I have just stumbled across your site about Mormonism and our supposed
rituals that we have in our temples. I am expecting that you will not post
this as it goes against everything you have been telling everybody.
Firstly, you have absolutely no idea what we actually do in our Temples -
this I know because of all the stuff you wrote about what 'you think"
happens. In no way are there any signs that denote any kind of killing or
slicing open our bodies...It is so far from reality that it is almost funny.
Our Temple is were we go to pray and be close with our Heavenly Father, is
it sacred and in no means satanic. I really don't know were you got your
information from, but someone has obviously spinned you a lot of garbage at
your expense. I am sorry that you do not believe in God, I cannot imagine
my life without Him. What purpose is there to life then?? How sad you must
be not knowing the truth. I strongly suggest that you find some
missionaries and speak to them about the church. Ask them everything you
need to know, so that you actually will know for yourself instead of hearsay
or from whatever you have read on the internet. Are you really that naive
to believe everything you read on sites like this one. I think you're
alot smarter that that! Find out for yourself!

You either have a very good imagination to come up with all this stuff that you 'supposedly' know about or you are very bad at researching. Look in the phonebook under The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Call the mission office and ask for some missionaries to come to teach you. That my friend is the only way you will really know. You need to find out for yourself, not from what ever you have heard or imagined. When you find out for yourself, which involves researching the scriptures and praying (it's really not that hard to pray!) you will find that what you have been writing up on your site is incorrect. Let me know how you go.
Regards.

REPLY:
Please have these people contact me. Thank you!

Best Wishes,

We as Christians are suppose to lead the lost to the one any only God.
Whatever it takes to help you see the truth.

There are so many things that the mormons do not see. How can you be so
blinded? Eternal marriages are not acceptable in heaven. It is til
death you do part. We are producing life in a test tube. How could
this be in heaven before earth?

Marriages sealed in the temple...there are still many mormon divorces.
There are no secrets with God, not even handshakes.
Touching of the private parts in the temple rituals. This is abuse.

Women having children to build up the numbers...is purely divorce.
There is more women on prozac in Utah than anywhere else. The more
children a woman has the greater the chance for mental illness. These
are facts.

There is more child and spouse abuse in Utah. So are these really the
chosen people and the chosen church. You all know better.

ALL I want you to do is research. The libraries in Utah do not have the
same books as other libraries.

I will pray that for your own salvation that you will do this. Do this
for your children.

Sincerely, Kathy

This is the first and last time I will ever write to you. I don't know whether to laugh at your ignorance, or cry at your viciousness, and the way you are hurting innocent people.
You should be ashamed! Is nothing sacred to you?
Mormonism is nothing like what you portray!

I don't understand why you choose to waste time and cyberspace this way. Do you really feel like you are doing anyone a favor by spreading lies, twisting truths, and doing everything in your power to destroy faith and lives?

You will be very sorry someday, maybe not in this life, but in the end, you will be held accountable.

Maybe this site is meant to be humorous, in a grotesquely twisted way. But, some unsuspecting people, including young and innocent ones, will take you seriously and will have their faith and lives destroyed. I guess that doesn't matter to you. I have the impression you really wouldn't care anyway.

I'm totally disgusted, and I won't be back. As far as I'm concerned you are polluting cyberspace and should be banned. But, you do have First Amendment rights to free speech. Why do you abuse those rights?
 

After hearing about the slander coming from this website, I decided to check
it out, and i cannot believe that all of you actually consider masterbation a
healthy thing. Just look at yourselves. your lives revolve around sex, and
ask yourselves if you are really happy. I have been a Mormon all of my life,
and I have no doubt in my heart and in my mind that we are the one and only
true church on the face of this planet. Our bodies are temples unto God, and
we should not defile them in any way. I will serve a mission for my church
soon, and I hope that i have the opportunity to come knocking on your door,
so that I can show you what you can truly become if you believe. Instead of
bashing the Mormon church, maybe you should take a mintue and think of what
your lives have become. you think you are so happy. I love my life because I
live a christlike life. God gave us the ability to procreate to make families
and to live happily with them. he did not give us our bodies to abuse our
sacred parts. He loves all of his children, and if you were just to listen to
the next missionaries that come to your door, you will understand why i feel
the way that i do. Forgive me as though i have no place to judge you, but
judge yourselves and try to understand the significance of your body. God did
not give us the ability to have orgasims for the soul purpose of having them.
he gave us that sacred blessing to share between a married man and a woman.
For those of you who think that the LDS church practices pologamy, you are
wrong. For those of you who think we discriminate against blacks, you are
wrong. Please visit one of our sites and I guarantee you that the spirit of
Chirst will fill your hearts and you will know the truth of these things.
God bless all of you for you are all wonderful sons and daughters of a
Heavenly Father who loves you. Come unto him and be perfected in him. Just
take a minute to think to yourselves what our church has done to you. Are you
not judging us, and are we not all equal? Instead of wasting your time
convincing others to "beware of our church," take a moment to understand our
church. Our prophets truly do communicate with the Lord and Savior Jesus
Chirst through divine revalation. Listen to their words, as they love all of
you too. We are not out to brainwash you, or judge you, we are out there to
help you. I hope that the words I have said will touch the hearts of many.
Thank you for your time, and God bless.

Are you all so blatently dishonest or are you fanatics???

Here is one for you:

ALL Mormons are organizing a secret attack on atheists that will leave them all dead!!!

Or, how about this one:

Pres. Bush is secretly planning to issue a special executive order to eliminate all atheists in America.

And, finally:

Catholics and Mormons are working on special water additive that will be put into public water supplies in the near future. If you drink it and then don't attend church within 7 days you will die!!!

P.S. There is a lot more atheist persecution soon to come (you know: concentration camps, feeding to lions, cross burnings, etc.) so be prepared for ATHEIST ARMAGEDDON!

I don't know who you are, or who you think you are, but religion is one thing that you don't want to criticize. You're stepping on some dangerous grounds. I know for fact, after much pondering, study, and prayer, that the mormon church is true, and I know that you can know for yourself as well.

I'm asking you a favor to remove the temple recommend from your site. That's one thing you don't want to get involved with. If you or your friends want to go through the temple. Then get baptized into the church and get a recommend the right way.

you and everyone who does not agree with Mormon beliefs has no right to make a website that is bashing on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If you have a religion you need to spend more time practicing your own beliefs then bashing on ours.  what makes you so confident that we are all a bunch of weirdoes?
-- The fact that you don't know how things work, and that you eschew meaning, that's what!

 You have falsely organized a site which degrades Mormons, I really strongly feel that you could have done something more useful with your time, maybe even been out there trying to teach of your own religion. Have you ever seen a Mormon website that bashes anyone else's religion?
--- yes. Youe missionary program bashes other religions.


No, we respect others,

not hate them. I just wanted to make sure my voice was heard. I know that my church is true, and we do not have a secret handshake. You are giving false information. maybe you can talk to some missionaries, who will teach you the right information. thank for your time.

I have been a Christian for over 28 years. I mean a truly committed one. I began attending a Mormon church for the last few years. I was sort of "fence - sitting" for the last 4 years. Should I go ahead and dedicate myself to Mormonism and all the beliefs, or should I constantly question the things I do not understand? The ridicule and ignorance you've shown has brought it out in crystal clarity.
I really care for you and encourage your opposition. Christ and our Heavenly Father can take care of Himself. I just hope you will take the chance to really visit a Mormon church with an open mind.
Thank you for the last little nudge. Why don't you start working on the Jews next?

To Whom It May Concern:



I would just like to compliment your stupendous anti-Mormon work. I simply cannot express how deeply grateful I am to have such wonderful people (such as yourself) to find out important issues about those “Mormons”. I would just like to ask you and all those who take on the task of ATTACKING the LDS Church, how is it that such bright-minded, so-called Christ loving individuals lie, criticize, and simply recycle the same, old, recycled anti-Mormon arguments that have long been settled and put to rest by the Church and many of its members? I am in awe at the manner at which such talented people, as you, simply copy and paste this garbage and spam it across the Internet (and talk radio if it applies). How is it that you all come up with this material as if it were your own? Is it very time consuming to diligently copy and paste so much information to your own website and act as if your own mind was inspired with such advanced ideas? Wow! You people are the greatest! What would society do without you to guide them! The cliché “blind leading the blind” is definitely most appropriate to describe your anti-Mormon cause. I just wanted to express my gratitude and I say keep up the good work! Keep attacking the LDS Church to show the world what “true” Christians believe, as you claim (what follows is a list of some of your most virtuous beliefs, whether you realize them or not):
 

[--- Omitted here are 10 "wholly Babble"-points, which had been cut and pasted here (sic). --ED]

Well thanks again for your contribution to the world that offers absolutely nothing more than the traditional anti-Mormon, repetitive babble. Everyone attacks us (the LDS Church) but we have yet to attack Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, or anyone for that matter. [--- we only send out missionaries and tell them that their beliefs are completely wrong, and they will pay for it dearly in an afterlife, on the plane Kolob, if they don't change their wrong beliefs. --ED] If we did as others did to us, what would we be called then, considering all that we are already called today? But please continue your attack, for we know that the Church of Jesus Christ will be attacked and lied about from all sides. We know that many will try to find anything to harm us as they did to Jesus (Mark 2: 15-17, 3:1-6, John 8:48-49). We know that we shall be a hated people just how many hated Jesus. Just as Jesus, Mormons were physically attacked, beaten, and killed in the 1800’s and we know it will happen to us again in the future. We know that we will suffer much, for Christ told us so. But we will suffer all that you and any others will throw at us, but you will not stop the work of God. It is growing today faster than ever and it will consume the earth (Daniel 2:34-35), then will our Lord and Savior return to take His chosen people into the clouds (1 Thessalonians 3:17) and establish His kingdom on earth (Revelations 20:4-6).


[--- Omitted here are quotes from Matthew Roper, which had been cut and pasted here. --ED]


Sincerely,

Daniel R. Gaytan


P.S. My statement to you was partially written in a sarcastic and a serious tone. You are intelligent people, you should be able to figure out when I was actually speaking seriously.

[-- Is he serious or joking? -ED}
 

In answer to your question, I fear you as much as the Taliban, and exactly for the same reason, If you would like to see official Mormon beliefs posted on this website, please help by telling me which ones, and I will post them uncensored, of course. Thank you for your comment, the ball is in your court. I’ll post our letter with the opthers.

I found your site very much ammusing. I think you've contexted, ripped apart, theorized and blatently manipulated everything the LDS People have ever said. Well done and nice past time.

Funny, I saw no official LDS Believes posted on your site. Couldn't argue or post anything interesting other than information found on local tabloids?

I merely have one question, What makes you fear us so? If you would dedicate your past time to managing and creating a site like this, you are obviously trying to fool yourself into believing the stuff you post. Its sad really. But those who seek the truth will see the truth. those who seek an answer to a non existant question will look at your site.

I am a "Mormon" 13, about to recieve the Aaronic Priesthood, and was prompted by my bishop to look into other churchs/organizations believes before taking the step into priesthood. You have merely hardened my faith.

I cannot fully express the feelings I felt when I viewed your site. You aren't doing this because you think it's the right thing to do. I admit there is nothing I can do in this life to try to sway you to not do these things,

--- WHY CAN'T YOU THINK OF SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT HIS?


but I tremble at the thought of you after this life. You know something?

--- NO.


I am only 15 years old.

--- OK. IF IT WERE UP TO RELIGIONIST AND THEIR APOLOGISTS, CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE LIVED UNTIL THE AGE OF 15. READ ABOUT THINGS; LEARN HOW THE UNIVERSE IS. LEARN, VALUE EDUCATION.

How is it that a teenager who supposedly knows nothing must scold an adult for his wrong-doings? If you say to yourself that you are right, you know you're lying to yourself.


--- YOU ARE STUPID TO SAY THAT I'M DISHONEST, MY FRIEND.


Why am I taking the time to type this? I know I can't do anything of worth.


--- YES: BECAUSE YOU SUFFER FROM ORIGINAL SIN. YOU WERE BORN A PIECE OF SHIT. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY, NO MATTER HOW LONG, HOW OFTEN OR HOW LOUD YOU PRAY, YOU WILL NEVER OVERCOME THIS. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE THE HOLY BIBLE TELLS US SO. THE WHOLLY BABBLE TELLS US YOU WILL REMAIN A PIECE OF SHIT, ETERNALLY STINKING TO HIGH HEAVEN.


However, I know that some time in the future, we will see each other and know...


--- SO, YOU ARE CLAIRVOYANT. HA! IF YOU BECOME BETTER EDUCATED I'D BE HAPPY TO FULFILL YOUR PROPHESY. IF YOU REMAIN A CONDESCENDING ILLITERATE, I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU. IT'S NOT MY JOB TO EDUCATE YOU -- YOU HAVE TO DO THIS YOURSELF. FORTUNATELY FOR YOU, AND ESPECIALLY AT YOUR YOUNG AGE, LEARNING IS EASY AND EVEN FUN. YOU HAVE THAT MUCH GOING FOR YOURSELF -- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!

Both of us will be weeping in regret... You for you, and I for you.


--- THAT'S SO0oo CUTE! YOU'RE SO SPECIAL.

There is always hope for you, but from what I've seen you are too far in denial to admit anything no matter what. Until the day I have spoken of, your 15-year-old critic says goodbye.

-- GOOD BYE. BUT YOU ARE NO CRITIC, MY FRIEND. YOU ARE THE OPPOSITE - A TRUE BELIEVER!

Wow you guys really get a lot of negative mail. My best friend follows your religion and recently gave me the Mormon bible to read. It’s a shame it’s his property or I wouldn’t have a reason not to burn it. And I thought I was wasting my life, after seeing this I feel like such a wonderful success. To dedicate your life to such dribble is possibly the saddest thing I have ever encountered. It's like basing your life on a book of fairytales, or at least that’s how “the bible” reads. Guy with magic powers fights hunger and poverty. Yeah that sounds believable, especially considering it was written in a time when telling stories were actually a well paying occupation. Anyways good luck telling kids to deny the basic urges your “God” gave them to begin with, that’s genius. I'm sure that will stop them… heh anyways I really appreciate all you have created here; the people on my forum love this site. It's the finniest thing we have seen in a long time.

I used to be a Mormon, but, I thank God I found the truth and saw the light. I am now a Christian!
I would like to leave email to the people on this site to get comments about my belief.
My Jesus is not YOUR Jesus. My Jesus created heaven and earth. Your Jesus is the brother of Satan.
My Jesus is the creator of all things!
Your Jesus is only the God of this world.
My Jesus was born through Mary.
I would like to know how your Jesus came to be.

If u people claim to be christians, then why don't you believe that God is all-mighty and all powerful. He can speak many different languages at the same time and be in different places at the same time. He doesn't sent angels to do his work. My God is real. You Mormons have an imaginary god. You believe that Adam is God of this world. You are way wrong! Satan is the god of this world and he is leading you astry by the teachings of a poligamist. His name is Joseph Smith. He was a wizard and so were his folks. He could not have looked through the urim and thumim because they were part of a breat plate and not anything magical. If he DID use them, it was not by God's gift, but Satan's. If he was such a good prophet, then why did most of his prophesies NOT come true?

Also, that underwear that mormons are supposed to wear to protect them from evil. I tell you this, the Holy Spirit is MY protection. I don't need to wear funky underwear like that.

Last, but not least, In the temple, in Utah, when someone needs to get baptized for the dead, which is a joke, you have to stand infront of this curtain and hold this dude's hand and say some words. The curtain is supposed to represent the vail. Again, I tell you, the vail has been rent when Jesus died on the Cross. Why do you people want to recreate the vail. Was the death of Jesus on the Cross not enough?
If your answer is no, then I suggest you pray to allmighty God for guidance because you people are lost, and leading others to be lost.

I recently was linked to your stuff on Mormonism. It seems you have other
links also but I thought I would send you a short answer I always use to
anyone trying to convert me to anything.

If your god is so great and wonderful and able to such things then it would
be obvious to all that we should change to your belief. As there is no proof
of this greatness other than your word then I must presume that the only
reason you are attempting to convert me is that you wish to have me verify
your belief by my acceptance of it. This is not belief my friend, it is the
doubt in your heart and mind that makes you go forth and try to convert. If
you had no doubt you would not need to convert others. If your god were as
great as you profess then it would be obvious to all. Go and look into your
heart and mind and see that what I say is the truth.

You nitpick over the name Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, claiming that the perceived ownership makes it somehow incorrect. Will you also harp on the bible for the some 200+ claims that the "God of Israel" belongs to Israel? And the "King of the Jews" obviously is owned 100% by the Jews and is not going to be shared with anyone? Fortunately for us all the bible only flubbed up 17 times with that one. I suppose that Israel is not going to share the Redeemer they own (Isa 49:7).

Or, we could do as honest people do and realize that the first entry for 'of' in the M-W dictionary is "used as a function word to indicate a point of reckoning <north of the lake>'

The function of x is owned by x. A cup of water is owned by water. A fondness of truth is owned by truth. A symptom of a cold is owned by a cold.

Are people supposed to take you seriously?
