It seems that I get a lot of guff outside the church. I would like to hear some positive stories about the church from those who don't belong to it.

It is easy to have positive stories about anybody regardless of religion. I had two Mormon friends as a graduate student and Mormonism was not even brought up. However, I have researched Mormonism and have one major disagreement: Don't claim your religion to be something it isn't. Mormonism is not Christianity. It is a different religion just as Islam is a different religion.

I think that no matter what you believe in, there are always going to be individuals who will try and bring you low. To answer your question directly though, yes there are non-mormon's who think highly of the church and it's works. The LDS church has done a great many things for people and has taught many more how to be self sufficient. It's the whole helping others help themselves belief.

I'm not following your question. Are you asking if there are people who are not Mormon that have positive feelings toward Mormons or if there are people who are not Mormon that have positive feelings to church? I was not born Mormon and Mormon boys on bikes have come to my home, and they are always very enthusiastic to invite me to their church, but they don't want to accept an invitation to my church. I don't understand this. They want me to be open minded for the Mormon church, but they are close minded to coming to my church. Why is that?

I don't agree with the Mormon Doctorine at all. I will say that most Mormon's that I meet are very sweet people and an asset as far as working relationships and such.

I'm surprised if anyone can find any positive feelings towards any church.

I think that the Mormons show great works and have great faith in their religion however they have been mislead and I hope that they see the truth. Not meant as disrespect...

I'm really don't know enough about your belief's to make any kind of judgment. So as far as positive feelings - I'm just glad you believe in SOMETHING.

Good luck. This is one of the most bogus religions in the history of mankind, and THAT'S saying something. I can't fathom how anybody believes this crap.
