If you sincerely want to know than read the Book of Mormon.

That is how I learn the truth.

No one could tell me I had to find out for myself.

I even told the person who gave me the Book why do you want to go backwards.

At the time I was jaded on religion.

I saw what the mainstream did “say one thing and do another”...

Was I surprise a year later when I did read it and the Spirit of the Lord witness to me!

Oh what joy for me anyway was beyond words.

Not all have that powerful of a conversion.

I befriended a Mormon missionary decades ago and read the books. He was a nice guy who was on mission to make his family happy, not because his belief or faith was all that strong. The books left me feeling as if they were an attempt at sounding religious, rather than divinely inspired.

But, if you can point out this unlocking of passages in some specific context, I’m willing to listen. Perhaps I wasn’t introduced to the books through the most advantageous individual, nice guy though he was. Still in touch with him, lives in Arizona, three kids, happily married to one wife and no longer Mormon. Not sure what denomination Christian church he attends, but he does do so.
