Prayers need for those who toil in the Utah Missions field.

The BOM truly IS different from the Bible. One of them is a lie straight form the pit of hell.

Living in the southwest, I have talked to walls, and I have talked to Mormons. There is no difference.

I used to have a Jewish friend (God rest his soul) who joked that he liked to visit Utah because it was the only time he could be a Gentile.

He had been raised in an Israeli kibbutz prior to WW II. I don't know the details of how he ended up in the Air Corps in WW II. I knew him when he was on the Ohio State faculty.

How very sad. The mission field is great in Utah, many more will be broken before it is opened to the Word of God.
Being fired for Beer and Bibles - wow how narrow minded and legalistic can people be. Really, sponsor an event then fire a person for participating in that even.

[Mr Rogers]

I wish him well. I spent 7 years in northern Utah (student and part-time biologist). Loved the area & loved the people, but it can be a demanding mission field.

One key is to remember it does no good to tear down Mormonism by itself. If you proclaim Jesus Christ, and your church lives the truth of the Gospel, that is far more powerful than just attacking Mormonism.

When attempting to proselytize non-believers, I have to remember the scripture about shaking the dust off your feet. You don’t keep pounding on the same people over and over. You present the message, they accept or reject, and you move on to the next.

Utah Pastor Moves, Admits Preaching to Mormons Drained Passion

or

Why, oh why, oh why, oh,
Why did I ever leave Ohio?

[teppe]

Obviously the Pastor didn’t fit in with the rest of the rabid psuedo-Christian anti-mormons in Utah as stated below:

During a gathering of Mormons in Salt Lake City, for their 181st Annual General Conference in April this year, Hill also countered an antagonistic Christian group that regularly pickets the event .... “Jesus didn’t scream and hold signs at the Samaritan well,” Hill said in a statement. “We are called to love each other.”

If Mormons are non Christian, than why do they act so Christlike .... and if rabid Anti-Mormons are right ... then why do they act so un-christian?

[reaganaut]

Ministry to Mormons is a difficult one, more difficult than others in some ways and less difficult in others (you are in Utah not the jungles of Africa).

Most days it is like beating your head against a brick wall but when you get through to one of them, the days, weeks, months, or even years of frustration just disappear.

There are two parts to reaching the LDS. First extracting them from Mormonism and then you can love them to the Lord.
