I received an answer to my sincere prayer concerning the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. The answer was the opposite of what I expected. I did not want the Book of Mormon to be true. I did not believe the story at all, thinking it was a fanciful fable. And yet I followed Christ’s admonition that if we ask the Father in his name we will receive. When I prayed in all sincerity concerning the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, I received the shock of my life when I got an actual response in the affirmative. I had no doubt God answered my prayer.

Sigh....the fall back position. "You CAN'T argue with my statements because I prayed and I received an answer from God-Jesus-the Holy Ghost-Moroni-whatever....and SO YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT WHAT I SAY IS TRUE AND WHAT YOU SAY IS UNTRUE!

Of course, all of us whose prayers have received an answer that the mormon church is NOT true are expected to just say, "Yessir, sir, you mormons are right, the leaders have spoken and the thinking has been done." What arrogance!

Query: What makes the mormon's prayers and answers superior to ours? Why do you expect us to accept your sources of information, when you demonize our message and the source (and ridicule and insult the messengers with personal attacks)?

Your personal testimonies do not convince us. We have our OWN! (And we do not sell them.)

Frankly, I do NOT care whether you believe my experience of an answered prayer - that’s between me and God. If it was false, I’ll charge him with lying to me when I came to him in sincere prayer.

I’m just saying I believe ANYONE who says God told them the opposite is a liar and I will never believe them over God.

Great answer! But you forgot - - we are all liars, weak and full of sin, or too stupid to recognize the truthfulness of the "gospel" (blech). We didn't pray hard enough, or long enough, or pay enough to earn a "testimonkey" of the truthfulness of the "Church," and the burning in the bosom that PROVES that Joseph Smith is a profit.

We wanted to seek the recognition, money and fame that comes with being the Mormon inflammatory "N" word (Anti-Mormon). We wanted to drink coffee and tea, so we gave up our potential exaltation.

PLEASE. The whole idea makes me LOL! Where has this guy been hiding? All of these Romney posts and he has remained silent? I wonder who his alter-ego, lying-for-the-lord-persona is.
