It would appear to me, that by this article, the Mormons ARE Christians.

BTW, if this was "so" from a Mormon perspective, then guess what?

That means to Mormons -- all the Christian churches -- including what THEY deem as "Mormon Christian" -- are roughly interchangeable. It really doesn't matter then if a Mormon gets up Easter morning, and worships at a Christian church.

Or, since the Mormons don't have a "Good Friday" or "Maundy Thursday" service during Easter week, if a Mormon attends a Christian church, so what? Right, Mormons?

Actually, more and more Mormons are concluding that very thing.

I recently rec'd a Truth in Love Ministry letter -- TILM is a ministry to Mormons. In their March letter, Pastor Mark Cares wrote:

"'I have never seen a greater interest among Mormons in coming to my church than in the past eighteen months!' ... Those words were music to my ears! ...Pastor Mike Powell's words (above) were music to my ears. Mormons make up roughly half of the population in Pocatello, Idaho. Mike Powell has been a pastor there for thirty-five years. During that time, Mike has seen a dramatic change in the way Mormons represent themselves. Back in the 1970's, he would hear, 'We're not Christian, we're Mormon.' There was a clear distinction between Mormon beliefs and Christian faith. In recent years, however, the Mormon Church has begun purposefully utilizing Christian terminology. Now, the Mormon Church actively seeks to be considered Christian. While this deception is attractive to some Christians, Mormon teachings still lead people to eternal damnation! Here's what is so exciting. According to Pastor Mike Powell, the Lord is at work on the hearts of Mormons right now. They know something is wrong with the teachings of Mormonism. They are becoming bolder than ever to step out and visit Christian churches."

Lds, since the Mormon Church doesn't necessarily set apart a special emphasis on Easter, isn't this month a good time to finally focus on the cross??? Set apart Easter -- the cross and the resurrection -- in your heart. Visit a Christian church this Easter week.

Don't you realize the Mormon Church is starting to wain -- despite the "spin" you've heard???

Just yesterday, your most prominent paid apologist -- Daniel C. Peterson -- confessed that in an article that ran in the Mormon Church-owned Deseret News. Here's what Peterson wrote:

Don't we send out full-time missionaries? Isn't that enough? Aren't we "the fastest growing religion"? Actually, we're not. Church growth has been falling for many years, and our current rate of missionary success is the lowest it's been for decades. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705370129/The-Internet-aids-missionary-effort.html?pg=2

So you see. You keep hearing otherwise. But that means the "otherwise" you've heard has just been "spin." Pure spin. IOW, not the truth. Don't you see how easy it's been for your leaders & your fellow members to lie to you?

Peterson 'fesses up: "Church growth has been FALLING for MANY years."

You want the truth, don't you? (Why take the spin from the likes of Mormons who get "zotted" -- representative of the Great Second 'Zot' to come -- the 'Zot of Judgment')

But I've seen the Misshies do this when on assignment.

They've been to our church before (Wesleyan) in Indianapolis.
