I like the ads that I have seen in this series. I’m glad the Church is putting them out as it helps me and other interested people get to know more about what kinds of lives LDS members are leading.

My experience is that LDS are regular folks who love God and trying to follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.

It's been my experience that they follow a false prohet and don't know the one, true God

My experience has been that LDS, Inc members are all about promoting "the Church"...not God or His Son.

Had a mormon tell me...I shouldn't get all wrapped up in Jesus..as He wasn't all that important.

Had a bishop of LDS, Inc....tell me he had been working in his yard digging out "nigger heads"...his name for rocks.

I can give you many other examples...if you want.

LDS, Inc is about $$$ plain and simple. Started with J. Smith...and continues today.

Hmmm...in MY experience of living around and among mormons for years, mormons don't live any better lives than any other group of people. There are frauds aplenty, liars, thieves, drunks, pedophiles and just plain, ordinary fallible and troubled folks among mormons.

The doctrine is so unbelievable unBiblical and non-Christian that the mormon public relations team has decided to emphasize the manufactured false image that the general public including the folks at FR has, in large part, bought into for years.

From Every Member Online a Cyber Missionary

"No doubt the senior brethren are aware of the enormous potential of hundreds of thousands of Latter-day Saint volunteers of all ages serving with their home computers, tithing a portion of their online time to cyber missionary work, eventually touching the lives of perhaps millions of non-members all over the world, in many different languages. My personal opinion is that LDS cyber missionaries have done their job if all they do is encourage people to visit http://www.mormon.org. There in that quiet inspired place, safe from the virtual turmoil almost everywhere else, the Holy Spirit can reach and teach those who share our precious days on earth. Should we labor all our years crying repentance all over CyberSpace and help bring only one soul unto Christ, we are promised much joy in heaven.

LDS1.org has dozens of prepared responses for inexperienced missionaries to copy and paste elsewhere until their confidence is sure that the Spirit will guide their fingertips on the keyboard if they will only keep calm in the face of sometimes vicious attacks as the war of words rages on towards its post-Millennial climax. I have found that every hostile comment is an opportunity for seasoned teachers of righteousness to calmly teach a gospel principle, and leave a hyperlink to mormon.org that may remain visible for many months. The Spirit can guide truth seekers to those links long after the poster has moved on to other fields.

Hugely encouraged by Elder Ballard, today's LDS Cyber Missionaries in my opinion are pioneers, exploring new territory, finding new places to reach and teach God's children. I sometimes think of Cyber Missionary work as crossing the bridge to some dark corner of the Spirit Prison, doing our very best there, gaining some souls, losing others, then going home for a while to rest and recreate in the Paradise Father has made for those who love Him. Then going back again time after time as we do our part to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ on our watch…"
