Excerpts from Letters and Emails (April 1999)

[Spelling and grammar not corrected]


I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate the work you are doing. . . . It is not easy to wipe out 46 years of your life and realize how you have been controlled . . . I was a Relief Society president in our stake for a number of years when I began to question & really was tired of ‘the Lord will tell us in His time’ answers.

(Letter from Canada)


Your [sic] a son of perdition, well at least in my opinion, Greg.

(Email)


I called you . . . in 1998 regarding my wife . . . who was raised a Mormon in Brazil. She has since come out of that darkness & is basking in the grace given through our Lord Jesus Christ. Being very pragmatic in nature, the meticulous research in your documents was used by the Lord to reveal his truth. We look forward to supporting your activities.

(Letter from Florida)


There was a time when I thought you guys were nuts. Now you’re my heroes!! Thanks for your research and efforts. I sincerely hope you will be around for a long long time. A Former True Blue Mormon.

(Email from Mike)


I can’t thank you enough for the information that you have sent up from Lighthouse Ministries . . . My 2nd husband loved the Church, and the Priesthood that he held. He is a brilliant man . . . I would bring things up, hoping that something would click with him . . . I couldn’t take it a step at a time, but just ‘blurted’ out everything, and that I felt it was all a lie. He couldn’t believe it, and wanted to know [why] I hadn’t mentioned it to him earlier. We haven’t been to Church since and have been avidly reading lots of books, and papers from your site which we have found so incredibly informative. We haven’t been to church in three months and everyone is scratching their heads . . . we both have given back all our callings, without the ‘permission’ of the Bishop . . . We soooooooooo enjoy your newsletters . . . Thank you so much for your work. We will be sending a donation from time to time to further the work. You have helped us so much, and we would like to help provide for others.

(Email from California)


. . . I have for a number of years had a few misgivings about some of the Mormon doctrines. I . . . have been a member for 44 years. . . . In my quest to have those questions answered I turned to the Public library and was fortunate to read an article written by the Tanners from which I was able to source the URL . . . and I am truly thankful for your web site . . .

(Email from New Zealand)


I have, over the years, read your shoddy researched, and intellectually dishonest, commentaries on the Lord’s Kingdom here on earth . . . Still, you serve the purposes of the Lord to keep us . . . on our toes.

(Email from a Mormon)


I am a seventeen year old girl attending . . . High School . . . I have read your chapter in the book The Counter[feit]Gospel of Mormonism. I just want to say thank-you for helping write the book because terminology was something I really needed to know. . . . There are many Mormons in my school . . . I had never really spoken to ***** [a Mormon friend] but I knew God wanted me to witness to him. . . . The talk went very, very well. The atmosphere was calm and everyone was friendly with each other. . . . I owe part of the meeting’s success to you two . . .

(Letter from California)


I just found your site . . . [www.utlm.org] I am so glad I found you on the web finally. . . . I also want to thank you for the great work that you do. I first learned of your existence while I was a missionary in Australia. Someone gave us some of your literature trying to ‘save’ us. At that time I was not ready to know the truth but I did read the literature that was given to us and found it fascinating. . . . I never forgot the things that I read. It wasn’t until several years later when I began to ‘see the light’ that I remembered that experience on my mission. I was living in SLC at the time and looked you up in the phone book and came and visited your bookstore. Funny that ‘in the heart of Zion’ there is an oasis of truth! . . . I have to say again, how happy I am to have found you on the internet. Thank God for modern technology!

(Email)


I wanted to let you know that I have used your book to lead two families out of Mormonism. One was a local Mormon leader in the US military community . . . The other is now a base commander here . . . Both asked to be excommunicated after reading your book. . . . Thought you might be interested. God bless you.
