He said the LDS had a store front reading room in the Lincoln Center area at that time and the commercials were for that.

Perhaps you are confusing LDS with Christian Scientists. The LDS don’t have ‘reading rooms’ of any type, anywhere. They didn’t even have an LDS bookstore in NYC then and I don’t believe they have one now.
Let me help.
If you have GoogleEarth®
Zoom in to NYC and then enter
either MORMON or LDS in the FLY TO input box in the upper left of the screen.
You'll get LOTS of hits appearing on your monitor!
I had one bishop question my ‘worthiness’ because I lived with my mother at the time and she smokes. It was like I was guilty by association. LOL.
LOL, crazy.
Nice chatting with you folks, but now Romney has gotten his win in Ohio, and all I want to do is go to sleep and be oblivious for a while. :( Good night.
One of the ways Mormons ‘build common ground’ with Catholics is to attack Protestants. Also, the views of authority, extra-biblical teaching, revelation and hierarchy are the same.
I was taught that Catholics were easy targets (the phrase used was ‘open to the Gospel’) because of these things and specifically to go after Protestants which I never felt comfortable with.
I had one class at BYU on “American Christianities” where I got into a fight with the professor because I corrected him on the Immaculate Conception vs. Virgin Birth (he got them mixed up). My interest and background in Catholicism came in handy when I was LDS and ‘teaching’ or ‘preparing’ my Catholic friends - most of whom were CINOs.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Now MORMONs will claim that THEIR 'jesus' is the same one that is in the bible, and we ANTIs will show, from MORMONism's own writings, that that cannot POSSIBLY be true.
The Bible mentions FALSE CHRISTs and the MORMON one fits the description perfectly; not matter how much they protest.
Believe in a true Christ; get a true salvation;
believe in a FALSE christ; get a FALSE salvation.
And put your faith in a religion rather than Jesus and get none at all.

Good night. :)
I laughed so hard when the statue of Moroni was hit by lightning. One of my LDS friends was visiting her daughter down the street when it happened. I opened my big mouth and said “I think God is trying to tell you guys something”.
Actually, in person I would freely ask the question, especially of you, I know that you are fully comfortable as a Christian. I didn’t agree with it being aggressively pursued by that poster, on a public forum for what appeared as some form of attack to be developed.
LOL. I understand and it did come across as an attack, however I have been open about my time in Mormonism for that very reason. Let them attack, I have nothing to hide. Christ saved me and changed me from the person I was then and I thank Him every day for it.
When I was Mormon, I was selling Mormonism, now I don’t ‘sell’ anything, I speak the truth about Christ, how He changed me, and warn others of the dangers that I fell for as a teenager (the lies of Mormonism). It is all about the truth and bringing Glory to God.
In Mormonism, the members think of converts they get as ‘notches on their belts’. As a Christian, it is all about giving God the glory, not taking it for ourselves which is what Mormonism does. It is a huge difference.
I do find it amusing how many of these Mormon defenders think it is all about numbers. We get asked those questions a lot on these threads as you are well aware.
I wasn’t confusing them. Maybe the word reading room is the incorrect. But the commercials were real and they were in the Lincoln Center vicinity.
I condemned somebody? Could you show me the post where that happened?
I only see people asking me to condemn others.
I’m sure there were commercials. Back in the 1970’s the commercials were for free Bibles (with LDS footnotes) and Books of Mormon. You called then the Missionaries would come over to visit.
Several times above, if you can’t see it is your problem, not mine.
