Ed Decker committed adultery and beat his wife. The actual court documents are cited on the web. He is such a liar and idiot that other "anti-Mormons" like Jerald and Sandra Tanner disavowed him and his lies about Mormon belief.

You cut and pasted something from the internet. It must be true!!! /sarc.

Keep posting Saints Alive which was founded by the adulterous wife beater. Most FReepers can see through the obvious lies and it makes Romney (a real family man) look better.

Criticism

Decker's work has attracted criticism not only from Latter-day Saints,[1] but also from religious scholars of other faiths,[2] as well as other critics of the Mormon faith.[3] Decker's former associate, Dick Baer said that, "Ed has a penchant to sensationalize, embellish on facts and center on bizarre issues to try to shock people."(February 25th 1993, Salt Lake Tribune). Jerald and Sandra Tanner and Bob Passantino have said that his writings grossly misrepresent Mormonism, and thereby dilute his message and offend Mormons without attracting them to evangelical Christianity. The Tanners, themselves prominent critics of the LDS Church, have noted what they contend are inaccuracies and errors in some of Decker's works.[4] When Decker was denounced by Jerald and Sandra Tanner, he went so far as to accuse them of being in the pay of the LDS Church and even of being "demonized" themselves. Decker and his associates offered to exorcise the Tanners' demons, and expressed great sadness when they refused.[5]

Critics also point to Decker's first wife's allegations that he was excommunicated for adultery and wife abuse - contrary to his claim that it was due to changes in Decker's religious beliefs.[citation needed] This allegation has been denied by Decker but appears in court documents that he did not dispute at the time of his divorce.[1] Decker has since remarried.

Yes, Decker had serious problems.

But unlike the LDS, he never claimed that his words were from God Himself like the LDS does.

Especially the part where men are supposed to live on the moon.

Now, just what is this planet/star KOLOB?
