. . . I talked with your wife on the telephone . . . I want to thank you also for your works, “The Changing World of Mormonism” and “Mormonism—Shadow or Reality.” Since reading these publications my husband and I & five of our children has asked for excommunication. I’m meeting with an Ex- Mormons for Jesus group. I feel that I’m on my way to really knowing Jesus Christ and letting him into my life.

After being a member for 15 years and having been sealed in the temple the church is not letting go very easily but I know we have the strength and conviction, thanks to you, to complete the task. K. M.

Thanks for unmasking Mormonism. I was born into the church, believed everything I was told, went on a mission, returned to BYU to finish school and met and married a non-Mormon (she converted for me but was never really converted). This was the best thing that could have happened as she slowly opened my eyes, along with a good friend that was learning about Mormon untruths himself. It was a shock. For years, the home teachers had threatened us with excommunication if we didn’t let them come for a visit. After reading about a number of changes in Mormonism, I realized it was fraud, pure and simple. However, this did not aleviate the severe guilt. Nevertheless, my wife and I asked to be removed from the church records. Of course there was a Bishops Court which we would not subject ourselves (Inquisition).

It’s been an emotional roller coaster up until about a year ago. Someone should write a book about how these false beliefs can keep you from learning the truth and the emotional scars that come with realizing that so many years were wasted. But I will say that many of my experiences were extremely gratifying and the basic Christian principles have been invaluable in my life. Nevertheless, fraud is fraud! . . . R. S.

I was particularly interested in your article “Bleaching the Lamanites.” I have a personal testimony concerning this subject that might shed light on this subject for you.

In South Carolina, near the town of Rock Hill, there is the Catawba Indian tribe. Many of these Indians are Mormons. In fact the Indian who is supposed to follow the footsteps of his father as chief is a Mormon, It is quite remarkable how this man is almost white and how the Indians who are active in the church are also that way.

This is a testimony unto the world that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God when he prophicied [sic] that this would come about. . . .

You really must be jealous of the (Mormon) Lord’s true church. . . . Of course your reason might be for filthy lucre . . . E. C.

I’m writting you to just thank-you for the work you are doing on Mormonism. I myself have just come out of it, about a year ago . . . I was born & raised in the church. I’m 26 now and I served a mission in England, the London mission, for the church. So it wasn’t that long ago I began reading your material. I started with “Mormonism—Shadow or Reality.” My wife showed it to me. She by the way read it first, and after only being in the church a few months, got out quick and knew it was a false religion. Of course all this devastated me at first. But after 2 years of prayer & study and other churches, I became a true Christian and left the church. I realize now that the Mormon Church can’t be what they claim it is. . . . K.H.
