Guy on the left looks like Glen Beck.
The Great Pumpkin method of witnessing.
If you choose not to pray that is your choice.
I never called you a liar for what you claim about your testimony. I do claim that you are not ready to accept the truth yet. Why? I don’t know. Perhaps there are things you need to learn and experience first. Perhaps you need to go through this period of denial and antagonism towards the Church to gain more experience to help others.
I believe this is why I did not get an immediate testimony. Some people do. My wife knew right away that the Church was true the first time she was taught. We are not all the same. We are not all in the same place. We don’t all have the same purposes or trials ahead of us.
I am your friend. I want you to know the true Gospel as I do. I am your brother. Denying it won’t change it.
What an arrogant comment. Are you stating that it is a foregone conclusion that if one "chooses to pray" they will come to the same conclusion that you did? FYI, Christians choose to pray...daily...but they see no call to pray regarding a book of fiction.
arrogant - perfect word!
Mormons are Christian. The LDS is Christ’s Church restored. Other Christians have had and do have parts of Mormons are Christians

Where in the bible can you back that statement up?
PD,
How do the poor or homeless gain access to the temples? Or are they not good enough?
True. I think next time when Mormon missionaries come to my home, I should just say I’ll keep my money and you can baptize me when I’m dead. Save me from the stress of trying to be temple worthy.

My response was to Godzilla stating “The Great Pumpkin method of witnessing”. I don’t consider praying to God for answers akin to any Great Pumpkin method. It would appear from his answer that he considers praying to God to be the same.
Therefore, since he considers it the same and it would seem doesn’t approve of the so called great-pumpkin method, he chooses not to pray.
My answer wasn’t arrogant at all.
I already explained the reasons why I believe some of you don’t “get it”.
Any of you calling me arrogant is the definition of arrogance on display. So pot... meet kettle. Kettle... pot.

Pretty sure that is calling me a liar.
Then you aren’t listening. Read slower.

You seriously need to step away from the anti-Mormon propaganda a little and read some of what I have linked. You are getting some bogus info. Go ahead and read it all but it would be best if you found some balance in your studies if you are serious.
Any worthy member can go to the Temple. Your income or housing situation is irrelevant.
Define worthy member.
