It is almost a full year (come Dec. 6th) since my release (FREEDOM) became final. I’m enjoying every minute of it. I am now 85. . . . Wishing you continued success. Those posts which condemn you have their day coming . . . that will be when they get their eyes opened, and see for themselves how duped they were. Sincerely, Ever Onward!

As apostates of the true Church of Jesus Christ, you will continue to spread your satanical lies and reap the reward of a life with the author of lies in the hereafter. Keep your lies to yourself!!! The lies are not worth refuting. This is obviously your evil livelihood.

hey listen here you. how DARE you write false things about the Prophet Joseph Smith. Have you ever prayed and asked GOD if Joseph Smith was a Prophet, by the look of things i guess not!
whats the point of trying to prove the mormons wrong? do you really have nothing else going on in your life? you can try, but you’ll never prove us wrong. you can’t. you need to quit being so bitter.
the church will still accept you if you will repent. you must repent of your wrong doings. otherwise a fierce judgement will be in store for you. . . . we know that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of GOD and was called to restore the TRUE CHUCH to the earth in the last dispensation. pray about it and youll recieve your answer but pray sincerly with FAITH in CHRIST. by the power of the HOLY GHOST you may know the truth of all things.

having wasted 15 years in the Mormon Church, it is still hard to live it down. . . . I used to be a Bishop and when I converted to real Christianity, all of my Mormon friends treated me like I was the enemy . . . I read just about everything I can on the internet just for reasons I can’t explain. . .but I am proud of the work that you do and the knowledge that you must have . . . thanks for being you.

Your website is terrific! Its also amazing that anyone is still in the LDS Church after reading the information you’ve discovered concerning the church. After hearing the truth, those that stay in the LDS Church are determined to do so, with disregard to logic or The Gospel. Thanks again

Thank You for your wonderful website. When I would ask questions about the Mormon religion I was told to “go on Faith” that it would be enough. When I gave “an act of Faith” as my reason for leaving the Mormon Church, suddenly Faith was not considered to be good enough. Your website has not only affirmed my decision but has helped me defend it.

Personally, I think you are the people that are starting the great and abominal church. You start your own church becuase the real one is too hard for you to follow . . . How dare you mock Jesus, and act as a Prophet by translating your beleifs. Why don’t you have followers. Why don’t you have your own Buildings and temples of worship. I think if your the true church, god will help you. But you know what, your a false doctrine organization led by Satan and his followeres. There is no truth in what you say, just opinion!!! Sorry, your the whore of the Church!!!! That is in my opinion. Freedom of speech!!!!

Congratulations for your web page! You have been doing an excellent work, i guess you are of my favorite people. . . .
I left the mormon church 1 year ago, and was baptized on last sunday. I have learned to recognize mormonism as the recombination of different and contradictory christian-like views of different times, with degeneration of masonic rituals, misuse of egyptian documents, etc. That proves something: Combination of all kinds of truths or cool stuff doesn’t add up to give all truth. . . . overall if the man “restoring” has no idea of what truth is.
What i enjoy in the bible is that the real prophets are [n] ever talking about material things, nor they did try “their best”, they just listened the words of God and spoke them. As for Jesus, I have been learning to appreciate him as my savior.
I know how difficult is this work for both of you. but it is soo important!. Sometimes i have feel really stressed, since i am at BYU, but i have started to enjoy myself. . . . I try not to listen the stuff of everybody, since these youngsters are unexperienced. . . . It can be soo difficult recognizing the truth! thanks

HI! I applaud you guys for your hard work and dedication at exposing mormonism for the false religion that it is. We need more people like you out there. Anyways i was recently visiting the lds.org web site where i would go and look at the doctrine. to compare it with what the bible had to say. well just today i visited it again and they changed the whole format of the doctrine!!! They have left out so much of the BS that makes mormonism what it is. I’m afraid that many more people will fall victim to the lies of the church . . . I’m just a little worried at the new tactics the church is using

I find it very sad that you must deceive people in order to make a buck! . . . I find it comical that you “changed” your name to become a “non Profit “ ministry. We all know that this entitles you to receive money from our government. How convenient!!!!!!
Your fore fathers must be sickened by your hatred for the religion and cause that they gave so much for! What a reunion you will have with them when you meet them in the hereafter!
If you want to discredit the Book Of Mormon then so be it but when you stand at your Masters feet, it will be you who is discredited for the frauds you are and I believe that you will be held responsible for anyone that you help lead astray. How about them apples?

What makes you so hateful. Hate is how the Jews were persecuted by the nazis. If hate is what your religion believes in I suggest you questions your own believes. You should try praying sincerely some time and at least try to feel an answer.
You draw near to god with your words but your heart is far from him. I have never hated someone for their beliefs I feel this is racist almost but instead of having to do with color it is the hate of other religions.
You have probably been hurt by one person of this church and that is why your mind is not open to the good things of other religions especially the Mormons, will you really let one person swarm your life with hate towards others. I am only 14 and I have felt some of the most remarkable feelings due to this magnificent church. Why do you take every little sentence and alter its meaning in order to make people share your misery?

I just wanted to thank-you for the volumes of work that you have done in the name of our savior, Christ Jesus. I was raised LDS and last April my family and I left the church. By the grace of God we have been saved and delivered from our lives of deception.
Your website continues to be a valuable tool for me put my life back together. At this point I am still a little embarrassed to see just how wrong and deceived I was for so many years. Please be encourage that God is working through your ministry and you are touching lives in a positive manner. I pray that God will use the seed you are planting, especially in those that disagree with your site.

Just going thru some old SL Messengers when I came across the term “antimormonoids”. Are they sure they want to use such a term of derision? When you break the word down to it’s component parts we have,
Anti: a suffix – to be in opposition to;
Mormon: believer in the writings of Joseph Smith
oid: a thing of unthinking robotic existence.
Undoubtedly the creator of this word was using it as a term of derision but if you/me are antimormonoids, does that make true believers Mormonoids? Unthinking, placid, robotic creatures? What a strange title to apply to oneself.

I’m glad to see that LDS members are at least taking the time to read some of the things on your website.
I was wondering if any of them try to get in touch with you to dispute any of your documentation. It seems to me that all they can do is just write some hit and run letter with no documentation to support their claims that you guys are just “Satan Worshipers” and this website is full of lies and that you guys are just “Mormon bashing”. I find these letters rather humorous.
I’ve spent hours and hours going through your website and I think I’ve read just about everything on it.
I check every day to see if a new month of “Letters to the Editor” has been posted. These hit and run Mormon letters have become my favorite thing to read here. I’m just waiting for some Mormon to write in with some documentation to support their claims. I’m sure it’s going to be quite a while, if ever.
You’re very courageous in your fight for Christ. (with documentation) Thanks for your time.

What I find interesting about the letters from Mormon members to you, is how they claim to be believers in their “church” but yet they disobey their “teachings” and visit your site (and probably others as well) enough to read information to complain to you about. Sounds to me like they are in denial.
To those that do this: If you believe your church so much, then why do you even visit? Obviously you are not as staunch as you claim to be or you are already in doubt.

So what if the LDS Church did the temple work for Adolf Hitler. Why do you care? You probably don’t believe in temple work anyway so why make a big deal about it? The reason the church would make those type of records not available to the public is because of dopes like you who make a big deal out of nothing.
