I agree that the huge Missionary program and Public Relations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints forces many to make a decision for or against the Church.

I think Mormons and Evangelicals are competitive. It’s not a bad thing. Think of it as two world class runners trying to outdo each other. Good Christians like to proselytize and so do Mormons.

On my mission I had a missionary companion who liked to debate the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I never fully understood it at first. Then realized he was a Zealous guy and liked to Debate the competition. Jehovah’s Witnesses went door to door like us. So they were the competition.

I find your defense of your Christian beliefs invigorating.

Now as I convert I never felt that way...

I always think of the mainstream outside of FR as old friends!

When I reading things that done to other church such as the Catholic Church I feel a sinking feeling as though I was a member because to it like an old friend and I wish them well!
