"Introduction to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
When Jesus Christ lived on the earth, He organized His Church so that all people could receive His gospel and return one day to live with God, our Heavenly Father. After Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, His Apostles continued to receive revelation from Him on how to direct the work of His Church. However, after they were killed, members changed the teachings of the Church that He had established. While many good people and some truth remained, this Apostasy, or general falling away from the truth, brought about the withdrawal of the Church from the earth. The Apostle Peter prophesied that Jesus would restore His Church before His Second Coming (Acts 3:19–21).
Jesus Christ began to restore His Church in its fulness to the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1820. It has grown to become a worldwide Church with over 12 million members. It has the same teachings"

are you saying that the Bible manuscripts that were used by Jesus and his contemporaries that still survive, are defective?
true the apostasy came, and has been overthrown simply by reading the text of the Bible.
what is it that you are on about? seems to me you have something against those that rely on the Bible,
as you are angry at those that disagree with Mormon doctrine why is it that you are offending everyone that is not Mormon?
surely not every non Mormon has attacked the Mormon faith.
Furthermore, why do you take such offense? It is not you that people are against, it is a teaching. If you want to have some peace, you would do well to realize that everyone that does not agree with the Mormon Church is against you personally. So please do not take it upon yourself to feel offended.

I don't mean to sound mean, but it's one of those religions that just sounds silly. The way it started and all sounds ridiculous, and as a feminist, I hate the way women are objectified in it and other religions, so they are re formed in mans image. I feel bad for anyone who thinks they have the need to rule over little girls and women and say its all for God. I suppose the best answer to this question is, you guys have some pretty awful press.
I think if you want to love and serve God, or Goddess or Creator, you don't need anyone Else's idea of how to do it. I think following your heart, mind, and intuition is all anyone needs.

Mormons twisted the Christian faith under the leadership of a luciferian freemason, Joseph Smith. They added to the final revelation which was strictly forbidden in the scripture itself.
They believed a fallen angel, and they formulated a religion to allow for the self indulgence of a ruling class and a victimization of the females, and peoples of other races, justified under their faith.
Is mormonism full of hope for the black man?
Instead Mormonism elevates certain of these enslavers of women to a high place, like the Most High God eventually in their experience, and therefore is akin to Satan, rather than Christ.
Under your logic, Satan was full of hope since he hoped to be like the Most High God. Likewise mormonism is full of hope. Unfortunately the hope is placed in a lie rather than the truth, and the practice of deception if it benefits the faith is proof that it is of Satan. The Most High God detests all deception, and only desires Truth.
So a Christian faith is deceived and twisted, and there is a way that seems right to a man, but leads to death.

I have nothing against Mormons. I think they are a bit gullible, but I also think Christians, and Muslims are.
Your religion has not been around as long as the others so it is not taken as seriously by outsiders.

I believe religion is for those uncomfortable with their own spirituality. religion seeks approval of the leaders. I seek approval from my higher power, whom I choose to call god. I accept the damnation of religion and the love of God. I choose to Love, regardless of religious belief, as did Jesus, let thee without sin be the first to cast the stone.
