Salt Lake Tribune, March 8, 2015; “The LDS Church expects to have more missionaries than ever in its global proselytizing force by 2019, according to a top Mormon leader.
“We’re projecting out probably within four years,” apostle Jeffrey R. Holland told a radio interviewer, “the base-line number for the missionary force will be something around 100,000.” – Peggy Fletcher Stack
Jude 1:3-4; “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Oh how this news from the Church hurts my heart! Each of those kids going out to spread the lies of Mormonism is be yond tragic. How does one quantify the heaviness in the Lord’s heart over such a situation?
Like Jude, we need to keep reminding people of the original gospel Jesus gave to His disciples, and they in turn, wrote it down for us. Watch for those who bring another gospel (Gal. 1:6-9) and be like the Bereans who opened their scrolls to investigate and compare what they heard against the scriptures God had already given to them (Acts 17:11).
We’re praying their projections are wrong just as they were with Rodney Stark’s prediction there would be 60 million Mormons by 2080. See excerpt from the SL Trib below.
The bottom line in all this isn’t about numbers. As we all know, the end game is about the message they’re spreading. I’m wondering if Jesus’ words ever cross their minds when they make comments like this?
Matthew 22:14; “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
‘Predicting the future: In 1984, University of Washington sociologist Rodney Stark was astonished to discover that the LDS Church’s growth rate from 1940 through 1980 was 53 percent. He estimated that if it continued to grow at a more modest 30 percent, there would be 60 million Mormons by the year 2080; if 50 percent, the figure would explode to 265 million.
He famously predicted that the LDS Church “will soon achieve a worldwide following comparable to that of Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and the other dominant world faiths.”’ – Salt Lake Trib
I am an ex-Mormon elder, stake and district missionary, ordained military group leader, and ward mission leader, from 1970-2000. I served the devil for 30 years in Mormonism before I found the Lord Jesus on my knees and accepted his blessed grace through his precious blood.
There is irrefutable smoking-gun evidence of Mormon polytheistic theology, its only true theology. It is “Lesson 21-Man May Become Like God,” from the 1984 LDS Melchizedek Priesthood Study Guide, “Search These Commandments.” What is “Lesson 21?”
“Lesson 21” is a concise restatement of founding Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith’s 1844 “King Follett Discourse” and Mormon Prophet Lorenzo Snow’s refinement of it in the late 1890s. “Lesson 21” was the last time that the Mormon Church placed into print its literal predicate of its polytheistic theology for the LDS Melchizedek Priesthood to standardly study; and it is verified, in “Lesson 21” as canonized LDS scripture and commandments by the LDS First Presidency comprised of Mormon Prophet, Seer, and Revelator Spencer W. Kimball and his three apostle counselors, N. Eldon Tanner, Marion G. Romney, and Gordon B. Hinckley. It is the only smoking-gun evidence of 19th Century Mormon polytheism venerated and practiced in the 20th and 21st Centuries, which is verified by the highest authority in the LDS Church, a 20th Century LDS First Presidency. The Mormon Church never expected it to be used against them, which clearly illustrates their demonic arrogance.
Anyone reading “Lesson 21,” especially struggling Christians who will, no doubt, come into contact with the lying Mormon full-time missionaries at some point in their lives, will immediately realize that Mormonism is not Christian; and keeping Christians away from Mormonism proves much simpler than trying to convert true-blue Mormons from the error of their ways, even though some of them eventually come to Christ.

I sincerely believe that true Christians know that fulfillment of prophecy is the primary reason that millionaire Franklin Graham has publicly proclaimed on the BGEA website that “Mormonism and not a cult. By making this statement, he strongly implied that Mormonism is Christian, and this will help Mormon missionaries to dupe struggling Christians into believing that Mormonism is Christian. The New Testament clearly states that in the latter-days the very elect will be deceived, and Franklin Graham was speaking for his father, the noted evangelist Billy Graham, when he made his absurd and heretical proclamation. The world needs to be told the truth about real Mormon polytheistic theology. Please contact me at the above number, or by email, if I may be of assistance to your ministry opposing Mormonism. Remember that during this calendar year over 100,000 struggling Christians, just around the USA, will be deceived into accepting and, being baptized into, Mormonism!
