If you want to see Part I -- and accompanying FREEPER commentary -- re: Reasons #1-->40, see: 580 REASONS (and counting) WHY YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS [I]

In each of the entries, the Mormon historical position is outlined first
--with LDS source in bold face--
--usually countered by the biblical perspective.

If Lds tell you that they "no longer teach that" perspective in the church, or that it never reached "official" level doctrine, remind them that these statements were not "officially" rescinded, either, by Lds church leadership.

IOW, if Mormon church publications or their general authorities have made false or misleading statements through the years, it is their responsibility to not only correct those statements, but state what was false within previous statements made by Lds general authorities.

Otherwise, it's like a long-time girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/spouse who hasn't been "true to you" -- multiple times -- only they never own up to it; apologize for it; or ask for forgiveness for being "untrue"; and simply tries to "move on" in the relationship without any acknowledgement of the false past.

The best reason to leave the LDS?

Finding salvation through Christ alone, not works and not a church.

Why has what was once the best Conservative website sunk to be a big time an anti-LDS site?

No, I'm not LDS, far from it. But the security and future of the country is much more important than wasting time with this “my God is better than your God” bigotry that now permeates FR.

581. Mormons are not believers! They are good peopls. They are not God’s people! Thus, they face an eternity in Hell!

Thanks for the info. I have copied and printed this material for a defense of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I haven’t had a Mormon at the door for a few years but I like to be ready to give an answer for my hope. 1st Peter 3:15.
Also Colossians 4:4-6 is another favorite for the way I witness.

I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Learning of the restored Gospel of Christ has been the greatest blessing in my life.

I don’t want to leave the Church and see no reason to. I have found it to be a wonderful influence for good in my life, the life of my family and so many people I know.

Oh looky another thread of the same old and tired, regurgitated anti-Mormon propaganda.

Folks if any of you really want to know the truth about what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe then be sure to not look only here or other anti-Mormon sites.

By all means, read every word of this, then if you really want to know if this is on the up and up, investigate it on your own. Put forth a little effort and you can find every single one of these “Reasons” addressed. They are nothing new.

If you sincerely do so, you will be very enlightened to see just how deceptive the anti-propaganda is. You do want the truth don’t you? Show it. Put forth the effort. Find out for yourself.
