I was responding to a post by ejonesie22 as follows:

“Satan’s grip has to be broken first by the exposure of false doctrine and the actions of the enablers of evil and the veil of those taken in by such ripped away before any try at witnessing can begin.”

This reminds me of the time I invited my deaf friend to attend services at the Pentecostal Church of God (Kentwood Family Church) in Kent WA. All of a sudden all attention turned to my deaf friend and they were surrounding her, screaming, yelling, and demanding that Satan loose his grip on her. They were yelling “We rebuke you Satan; come out of her!!!” She was not possessed; she was, and remains, just deaf. She was humiliated, frightened, and confused.

At that point, I started wondering what the heck I was doing in a church like that. No offense to pentecostals. By the way, since becoming a Mormon,I have never witnessed any such horrible spectacle, not even close. Rather, members of the LDS Church tend to be loving, forgiving, accepting, and caring.

My point is that your point is not well taken by me since apparently it is directed to us evil devil-possessed Mormons you have read about endlessly on this very site.

I have said over and over again that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior and I love Him with all my heart. He is my life saver.

But I am not believed. Instead, I am lectured about what posters THINK I believe and they absolutely refuse to believe me when I tell them what I believe. I have posted the LDS Articles of Faith which list the beliefs of my faith but to no avail.

And yes I have been offended and hurt by the horrible accusations and condemnations I and my Mormon friends have endured on this site. The reason I keep coming back (until it becomes hopelessly a waste of my time) is that I don’t want casual readers to leave with the idea that Mormons are really like what the anti Mormons post here.

Thank you.
