I've always been a member of THE Church of Christ.

Further, I have grown up around many of the "Christoid" sects to which some here belong, and have always been able to observe them.

My wife is a former Roman Catholic, who had NO problems with her ancestral religion--she is Irish--but who, as soon as she heard the Book of Mormon message, immediately left the world of half-truths and ephemeral morality, and joined with the True Church of Christ. She had no problems with her "old" Church, she just knew the truth when she heard it, and she's never looked back.

SO, really the only problem I have is that there are always a handful of "Christoids" that are so insecure that they have to "bash" my own faith. YEs, I admit, I get sensitive seeing the names of Apostles and Prophets of God dragged through the mud, but then I consider that justice will ultimately triumph--it already has to some great degree since the murderers and mobbers who tried to destroy the true Church of Christ in its early days are dust while the Church goes on--so I have to learn to be patient, and be content.
