It isn’t just here. That is the first ‘defense’ the LDS use and use it a lot because it is effective to those who don’t know better.
I have a friend, who when she got saved, told her LDS husband “I got saved while you were gone (he was out to sea), now I am a Christian just like you!”
His response was, he bellowed “I AM NOT A ‘CHRISTIAN’! I AM A MORMON”.
That was before they decided to jump on the ‘Christian’ bandwagon.
Judging from the articles, that 'defense' is failing fast.
That was before they decided to jump on the ‘Christian’ bandwagon.
I keep trying to pin down the events that were associated with that change. Wasn't it the SLC winter olympics that served as the catalyst?
