Well, I don’t.

And if it did happen, it wasn’t through you guys.

When I was a kid, my mother was employed by the White Sisters of Africa - beautiful nursing nuns who used love, kindness in conversions. They, of course, as Catholics do, used local art to help the African people understand the religion - all Madonnas and Christ images were black with the beautiful traditional robes of the Kikuyu. This was in Kenya.

The story is told in Audrey Hepburn’s The Nun’s Story.

The Mormons use similar methods, using "love and kindness" to achieve their conversions. This is image centered evangelism. Good things should be done for good thing's sake, and not as a sales pitch. This is merely superficial, since many athiests do the same thing as well, performing good works like feeding the sick. The real question is: What is and isn't true. If you forsake truth for mere appearance, then you have nothing.

So you oppose converting non-Christians to Christianity. No wonder you seem so angry and are attacking Christians on this thread.

You have had at least one Mormon who converted to Christianity, tell you that these kind of threads work very well on Mormons.
