January 2 — Discourses of Joseph Smith, p. 273 “The Lord once told me that what I asked for I should have. I have been afraid to ask God to kill my enemies, lest some of them should, peradventure, repent.” (George Q. Cannon, Life of Joseph Smith, The Prophet, pp. 527-28.)” (more…)

LDS: Intelligence is Glory of God
Posted in December, Thought of the Day about Mormonism, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged glory of God is intelligence, idolatry, mormonism on 12/30/2025| 2 Comments »
December 30 — If the glory of God is intelligence, then what should we make of 1 Corinthians 13:8
“Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
Does this mean that God’s glory will vanish?
According to Mormonism it has nothing to do with the Lord. (more…)
How are Dead People Born Again?
Posted in December, Thought of the Day about Mormonism, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged baptism for the dead, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants on 12/17/2025| 4 Comments »
December 17 — I often wonder what Mormons think of the passage of scripture in John when Nicodemus asked Jesus what he must do to be born again. While we’ve explored this issue in our Mormon Dilemmas section before, today I began wondering about another angle to this scenario.
If Jesus told Nicodemus he had to be born again then how are dead people born again?
John 3:3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (more…)
Thought of the Day ‘Freemasonry is a Sectarian Religion’
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged apostate religions, Benjamin Johnson, false prophet, Freemasonry, joseph smith, polygamy on 11/16/2015| Leave a Comment »
While gathering info for our next installment on ‘Polygamy & Mormon Church Leaders’, I came across a quote by Joe Smith showing once again how
this man should not have been trusted by anyone; then, or now.
The quote comes from the diary of an early Mormon, Benjamin Johnson, who served on the ‘Council of the Fifty’ for Joseph Smith.
The Mormon’s Understanding of Evil
Posted in Adam and Eve's Sin, Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged 2 Nephi 2:25, Adam and Eve, Eve thanked God for sin, evil, sin, transgression on 08/06/2014| Leave a Comment »
While organizing my endless list of quotes I came across our entry on Witchcraft which got me to thinking…
Why do Mormons accept and applaud Adam and Eve’s rejection of God while at the same time teach that behaving inappropriately isn’t acceptable?
Thought of the Day about Mormonism and Joseph Smith’s Martyrdom
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged false doctrines of Mormonism, false prophet, Jesus, Joseph Smith's death, martyrdom of Joseph Smith, salvation on 06/27/2014| 2 Comments »
As everyone knows, today marks the anniversary of Joseph Smith’s death. While I’ve been reading the various e-mails they reminded me of how it once filled me with pride and a great sense of indignation that anyone would kill God’s prophet.
It never crossed my mind as a Mormon what his death did for me personally. That thought didn’t cross my mind until after I’d left my heritage so I’m posing the question here for the Mormons today.
Thought of the Day about Mormonism and Interfaith Prayer Groups
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged bible, false doctrines of Mormonism, idolatry, Interfaith prayer groups, Jesus, mormonism, praying for foreign gods on 02/28/2014| 2 Comments »
Just a day ago we posted a very important article on the Creeds of Christianity and from our studies we learned about the definition of Christianity and what the duties of a Christian entail.
We don’t pray to foreign gods, we don’t worship foreign gods and we certainly don’t acknowledge foreign gods.
Thought of the Day about Witnessing – What Would You Do?
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged false doctrines of Mormonism, false prophet Joseph Smith, Jesus, mormons, sharing Christ, witnessing on 02/20/2014| 4 Comments »
The other day I was watching a television show called “What Would You Do?” hosted by John Quiñones. The show is set up with actors playing out a variety of scenarios to see what the reaction would be of the average person watching things transpire.
This particular episode was about a couple of young kids who were drunk and getting into their vehicle to drive home. The show works alongside the police so they already know what’s happening if or when anyone should call to report the would be drunk drivers and after a few minutes the cameras roll in with the host letting the good Samaritan in on the secret.
Quick Thought on February Ensign Article
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged bible, false doctrines of Mormonism, February 2014 Ensign, Get Informed Get Involved, Jesus, Mormons are saviors for others, work of salvation on 02/07/2014| Leave a Comment »
I was skimming through an article in the Ensign yesterday about how Mormons need to be more informed and involved in their communities, when my eyes caught this sentence:
“You’ve been praying for a way to better engage your children in the work of salvation.”
Thought of the Day about Mormon Tolerance
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged bible, false doctrines of Mormonism, Jesus, judgment, Mormon phone calls, mormonism, salvation, works vs. grace on 01/26/2014| 4 Comments »
“Diversity of opinion does not necessitate intolerance of spirit, nor should it embitter or set rational beings against each other. The Christ taught kindness, patience, and charity. Our religion is not hostile to real science. That which is demonstrated, we accept with joy; but vain philosophy, human theory, and mere speculations of men, we do not accept nor do we adopt anything contrary to divine revelation or to good common sense. But everything that tends to right conduct, that harmonizes with sound morality and increases faith in Deity, finds favor with us no matter where it may be found.”
Heber J. Grant, Deseret Evening News, Words in Season from the First Presidency (Christmas message)

Enos’ Age Defying Lifespan
Enos 1:25; “And it came to pass that I began to be old, and an hundred and seventy and nine years had passed away from the time that our father Lehi left Jerusalem.”
Psalm 90:10: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”

Melissa and I saw an article in the November Ensign that caused us to raise our eyebrows in surprise at how the Church compares outside information to pornography. This isn’t the first time they’ve done this so I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise they’ve done it again, but somehow it does.

“Seeking learning is a lifelong pursuit and one that increases our ability to serve the Lord.” – LDS.org
As I came across the above message put out by the Church I couldn’t help but think of those who are disabled. Many of us either know of people or take care of those who aren’t able to function or live on their own because of an impairment. Their intellectual capacity won’t ever meet the high demands of a secular society as they seem to be held prisoner behind the invisible bars of physical and mental “handicaps” they’ve been born with or that’s been imposed upon them by disease or accident.
Thought of the Day about Mormonism and “52 Life Changing Questions from the Book of Mormon”
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged 52 Life Changing Questions about the BoM, bible endures forever, Bible isn't for today, false doctrines of Mormonism, Jesus on 10/23/2013| Leave a Comment »
Today I read an article in the Deseret News of a newly published book called “52 Life Changing Questions from the Book of Mormon” written by BYU Professor Brad Wilcox and John Hilton III, an institute teacher for the LDS Church.
The article said Mr. Hilton “was awakened six or seven years ago by a curiosity to know how many questions existed in the Book of Mormon… He discovered there are 543 questions in the Book of Mormon.”
Thought of the Day about Mormonism and a Mormon Reformation Movement
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged 95 Point LDS Thesis, false doctrines of Mormonism, Helen Radkey, Jesus, Mormon Reformation, salvation on 10/17/2013| 2 Comments »
Today a friend alerted me to a post on her Facebook page about a movement that’s getting a fair amount of attention and most importantly; support. There’s a group of people who will be posting a 95 Point LDS Thesis on the doors of Mormon ward buildings on October 31, 2013. They call themselves the Mormon Reformation and their purpose is for the Church to come clean in everything from the top down.

Shocking isn’t it? That’s what I thought as well when I saw the headlines of the Salt Lake Trib reporting that the vending machines at BYU were “accidentally” stocked with the caffeine laden beverage.
Ah, but then I read the rest of the story…

Today while retrieving info for the latest LDS General Conference I noticed an ominous article on the sidebar of the Church’s front page of their website. It said;
So I moseyed on over to have a look-see. My thought? Oh dear.
Thought of the Day about Mormonism and the Plan of Happiness

Today I visited the front page of LDS.org and noticed a nice little box with the title “The Plan of Happiness”. Clicked on that and up pops about ten other boxes listing ways you can work for salvation. ?????????? How is that a plan for happiness?
Thought of the Day about Mormonism and Polygamous Marriages
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged bible, Erastus Snow, false doctrines of Mormonism, false prophet Joseph Smith, inbreeding, Jesus, polygamy, sisters and mothers married to one man on 09/26/2013| 2 Comments »
While researching the life of the early Mormon apostle Erastus Snow I came across some telling information about this man’s character.
He was married to sixteen women which in and of itself is disturbing, but to make things worse I also came upon the info that his 2nd wife is the daughter of his 3rd wife and either the sister or niece of his 4th wife. Got all that?
Thought of the Day about Mormonism and Getting into Heaven
Posted in Thought of the Day about Mormonism, tagged false doctrines of Mormonism, husband grants access into heaven for wives, mormonism, polygamy on 09/25/2013| Leave a Comment »
Mark 15:37-38; “And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.”
The LDS Church claims the husband is the one that opens the door for his wives to get into heaven and I’m wondering…why can’t the woman get there by going through Jesus as the Bible says?
