I know of someone who has a better story to tell. It was reading his story that convinced me of the truth of Mormonism. You can read it here.
this is very much like the story of how reading dianetics convinced tom cruise of the truth of scientology.
Thanks for this site Rich. I am also glad that you became Catholic. I spent 19 years grrowing up LDS there is alot of reasons I left due to the LDS thinking and belifs. I could never be more happy being in God’s holy church.
Maybe you should post that site to someone on LDS.net they may be interested.
That was a silly comment! He told us of a good story that led him from Mormoinsm to Catholicism; and I told him of a good story that convinced me of the truth of Mormonism. I think I have as much right to tell my side of the story as he has his. Do you mind?
I do mind, its a Catholic site we don’t care about why you are a Mormon.
The biggest problem with Joseph Smith’s history is there is no evidence any of it ever happened. For example, David Whitmer said the following about the ordination of Joseph and Oliver Cowdrey by John the Baptist: “I never heard that an Angel had ordained Joseph and Oliver to the Aaronic priesthood until the year 1834, 183]5,] or [183]6–in Ohio. My information from Joseph and Oliver upon this matter being as I have stated, and that they were commanded so to do by revealment through Joseph. I do not believe that John the Baptist ever ordained Joseph and Oliver as stated and believed by some. I regard that as an error, a misconception.” David Whitmer, interview by Zenas H. Gurley Jr., 14 Jan. 1885, typescript, LDS archives. See Edward Stevenson Journal, 9 Feb. 1886, cited in Joseph Grant Stevenson, Stevenson Family History (Provo, UT: by the Author, 1955), 1:177-78. Quoted in Grant Palmer, An Insider’s View of Mormon Origins, (Salt Lake City: Signature Books)
Another example of a Mormon’s inability to reason.
Hi Stephen,
) another example of a Mormon answering a sincere question with an inability to answer the said question.The problem we have is that you Mormons come here to our site and throw your fictional books around and then get mad when we do not agree. All LDS books are Fiction no matter what you say here or do you will not change that fact.
Fiction is the telling of stories which are not real. More specifically, fiction is an imaginative form of narrative, one of the four basic rhetorical modes. Although the word fiction is derived from the Latin fingo, fingere, finxi, fictum, "to form, create", works of fiction need not be entirely imaginary and may include real people, places, and events. Fiction may be either written or oral. Although not all fiction is necessarily artistic, fiction is largely perceived as a form of art or entertainment. The ability to create fiction and other artistic works is considered to be a fundamental aspect of human culture, one of the defining characteristics of humanity.
How true! Wouldn’t he make a great member of the Church Militant? Come, O Holy Spirit, Come!
I thought this was the Non-Catholic Religions Folder. looks around Oh; it is.
Too bad. Go and take it up with the board admin. I didn’t create the “Non-Catholic Religions” board.
Steph you could not be more right.
Oh please zerinus. Did you even read the story that was linked? You can hardly compare a man who is shot (with a gun in his hand, having fired it already) in a prison “cell” (not a cell at all at this point, but a nice room… been there.) where he has been incarcerated for torching a printing press that exposed his lies to that of a man as humble and sincere as this true SAINT.
Z here is that post for you again. Have a great day.
That was not the post I had replied to. This is the post I had replied to:
