Sorry, I’m LDS for 58 years ... and have only worshipped God through his son Jesus Christ ... never Allah.

You have been the victim of fake religious news.

The number of years that you have been LDS has nothing to do with whether or not it is genuine Christianity and what it claims to be. The very fact that you even try to defend the Church online just proves that you are a victim of fake religious news. Your posting of mine reminds me of a comment that a friend of mine named “Fred” [not his real name] made at a lunch we had over 17 years ago.

He was a former full-time Mission President of the LDS Church who had his testimony of Mormonism shaken to its core several months after he became a Mission President. One of the top leaders had tried to get him to prevent one of his missionaries from talking to his parents about a cover up the Church had done about child sex abuse several years earlier. My friend disobeyed, missionary talked to parents who called police and a child sex abuser got prosecuted/convicted. So what did this high ranking leader do? He tried to get the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to excommunicate my friend. This high ranking leader had committed a Felony. He tried to get my friend to commit a Felony. Obstruction of Justice is a nasty crime. And my friend would’ve been excommunicated if it wasn’t for the grandfather of the current USA ambassador to Russia who at the time was still alive and in this Quorum.

My friend soon became an unbeliever and this was devastating for him. He got himself released and eventually navigated his life in a good direction. Several years later I heard in the news that the man that the Church sent in to take his place as Mission President was put into this Quorum of the Twelve. I frankly feel sorry for them, even though they get treated like a rock star, because their chance at real integrity is greatly compromised by how caught up they are in their position.

I know of many other examples where the LDS religion has been corrupt. Well when did the corruption start? Pretty much from the beginning as the Book of Mormon is so obviously fiction. I’m not going to get into a debate with you about this. That’s pointless as you will only dig yourself in deeper. I’ll just leave you one big example of a problem you have with credibility if you continue to try to defend the religion.

WHERE ARE ANY OF THE LITERAL DESCENDANTS OF FATHER LEHI?

Their non-existence speaks volumes to why the Mormons have lost the debate.
