Yes you do seven, and so does your church.

LDS.org states, “When Latter-day Saint missionaries visit homes or engage others in conversation, they studiously avoid criticism of other faiths. They do not attack and they do not condemn”?

Are you really unaware that your present missionary manual clearly states on page 36, “Investigators must be told that a universal apostasy occurred following the death of Jesus and His Apostles. If there had been no apostasy, there would have been no need of a Restoration. As a diamond on black velvet appears more brilliant, so the restoration stands in striking contrast to the dark background of the Great Apostasy. As guided by the Spirit, teach investigators about the Great Apostasy at a level of detail appropriate to their needs and circumstance” (Preach My Gospel, p.36). Do you really not see the hypocrisy in this statement?

Hit and run, REALLY! The teaching of the apostasy is done to members already investigating the church. And it’s done in the spirit of love, because without that, the spirit of the Lord can not be there.

I don’t picket Cathedrals or meetings handing out anti Catholic literature. You may be surprised to know that I just did an hour documentary on the new Installation Mass for Bishop John C. Wester, the new Bishop installed by Rome to serve all of Utah. While I don’t agree with their theology, I certainly don’t try to demean or even “save their souls” through such blatant aggressiveness.

There are good people of all faiths.

By own brother is Catholic FYI.

Funny you should say that because I knew there was something not right I just didn't know at the time there was a name for it!

"APOSTASY!"

Than I found the Lord Church I was looking for and it answered all of my questions I had search for years to know!

For that I am thankful!

Ah, so LDS missionaries, authorities, and members teaching doctrine that conflicts with that of others is comparable to you and people like you being actively engaged in tearing down everything we believe in, calling us non-Christian, and declaring our denomination a cult...

We believe you are wrong, and teach that. You believe we are wrong, polytheistic, loony, nutty, murderous, polygamous, paganistic cultists with weird underwear and evil beliefs, and teach that.

Yep, I’m starting to see the hypocrisy here.
