The Christian Research Journal ^ | 2007 | Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson

Well worth the time it takes to read through this article.

The appeals to maturely and politely discuss the differences between Mormonism and Christianity come up short once the motivations/tactics/dangers/outcomes are given thorough and honest consideration.

I want a Pit Bull story where the PB bites the leg of a Mormon Missionary who is campaigning door to door for Duncan Hunter 2012 and tries to defend himself against the Pit Bull with a Sarah Palin for President yard sign and stumbles into the street where he is hit by a car with a Ron Paul 2000 bumper sticker.

Then you would have the perfect Free Republic thread.

Ok, it was funier the first time.

But still made me smile...

[ejonesie22]

Maybe next version add something about the Obama Birth Certificate . Maybe the pit bull spit it out to bite the Missionary...

Shes an unworthy female...

The dog ate my BC errr homework...

The article is mature and polite with honest consideration because its by Bill McKeever and not Bruce McConkle...

Good article, never give an inch to a cult, it is for inches that they live for and thrive on.

urroner says:
Nana, I didn’t realize that you had such a sense of humor. I was ROFLMBO for five minutes.

[urroner]

Yep, give an anti-Mormon an inch and they think they are a ruler.

[urroner]

Can’t do the bit with O’s BC in the dog’s mouth, there has to be a BC in the first place and there isn’t. Even fantasy has to have some reality in it.

[ejonesie22]

I was thinking it would be a Kenyan Birth Certificate...

[ansel12]

Childish, but if that turns you on.

[ejonesie22]

Hey, at least he indirectly admitted the LDS is a cult...

[urroner]

You started it, so if you call it childish, what does that mean?

[ansel12]

You posted unsolicited childish remarks to me twice, what is it that you want?

Is the use of a more “confrontational approach” really hindering Mormons from coming to a biblical faith in Christ? Contrary to what some might say, the use of provocative information that gets to the heart of the matter does work. For example, one Mormon apologist admitted that “more member testimonies are shaken when challenging information is introduced from critical sources.” Another Mormon mentioned on a BYU blogsite how “potential converts are abandoning the missionaries once they consult the Internet for more information.”

Spot on!
