Hi reaganaut,
I’m not sure why you would think the “attack” approach would be effective in endearing those you oppose to your position.
I have no intention of leaving my faith, but I enjoy discussing religious topics with friends. It doesn’t upset me if people oppose my convictions but it’s more pleasant to do so when people from any persuasion can be decent an courteous even when they disagree.
Regards,
Normandy
Please forgive my typos in the previous post :)
Getting Mormons to see the problems with Mormonism, the hereseies and lies is difficult.
I had no intention of ever leaving Mormonism, or fighting the Mormon church, yet here I am because God delivered me.
I hated those who ‘attacked’ my mormonism, but I respected them more than the gentle ones who said nothing because if they fought for their faith then the really believed it.
The ‘attack’ approach worked with me, it worked with Rocky Hulse, it worked with Jerald and Sandra Tanner, it worked with Szonian and Sentinel, and millions of others.
You have to see that not all is well in Zion, that Mormonism isn’t ‘true’, that it isn’t biblically sound, then we can start to talk about what is true and what the Bible REALLY says.
