If people who listened to WM today came into my church and listened to a sermon, they would wonder if it was the same church the WM states that we are. He takes old writings from my faith/church that was growing and learning and trying to comprehend the revelations received and takes them to a new level--sensationlizing them and morphing them into something that I don't even recognize and then sells books off of it. For this reason, anything that WM says about any other religion, I tend not to believe. I have seen what he has done regarding my faith and I ***ume he does likewise to others.

That said, the sad thing is that because of people like WM, a lot of people in our country are beginning to view religion in general as a bunch of fanatics (as you can't mock and criticize one faith without tainting all of religious faiths) who run from one wild rumor to the next when making decisions about very important things. Honest discussion is gone. Dr. Mouw is trying to do you all a favor by asking you to take an honest look at these tactics.

And this thread is a perfect example of Christianity gone wild pointing fingers at the heretics while forgetting their own "heretical" history. This discussion board would not even exist were it not for the heretics of both our political and religious past.
BJ:
Dr. Mouw does not hold any of my opinions at ALL! He speaks only for himself and decided to take far to much onto himself by apologizing for ALL Christians. This has angered me immensely for Dr. Mouw knows nothing of the dark secrets of Mormonism or he wouldn't have made the statement he did. As for the smearing of Mormonism by WM, sorry for he spoke the truths about how Mormonism came to be, and the false doctrines thought up by JS a known necromancer, liar, thief, wife stealer, vandal and traitor. This is a man whom you want to follow and have faith in? I think your leaders are the heretics with teaching that man was once a god and that you too can become a god, if you live ALL the laws and ordinances of your cultic church. When God himself has spoken in Isaiah that He knows no other gods, you can beat that that is true, for God does not LIE! Only foolish men who hunger for power and have delusions of grandeur lie, cheat and steal. Also, FYI, WM is not longer alive, did you even know that? With your comments here, you speak as if he is still with us, so I do think you owe Jill an apology for "Smearing" her father's good name! Would you want someone saying these kinds of things about your father?

As for how WM spent the money from the sell of his book is no ones business. I am sure he used it to help provide for his family and pay for his radio time, is that a problem for you? If you wrote a book how would you be using the proceeds from the sales of it?
