I don't know if I put this in the right spot, or if it is allowed, but I want to know.

I want to know what you think of the LDS, Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon -- truthfully. Instead of writing it here how about you PM me -- I want real opinions.

I will not take and publsih those PM's in any sort of thread, but i may take ideas or something you say and redo it in words to better address the issue.

Go ahead, say WHATEVER YOU WANT -- BUT BE SURE TO PM ME!!!

What I've said in public. If you have any specific questions though because I haven't covered some core topic, PM it if you like, or send it up here. Either is fine.

Thanks everyone so far who has sent things, I'm just wondering and seeing what the general consensus is here at RF.

I figure the RF's are a lot less willfully ignorant, and more knowledgeable then many internet people I've ran into.

I know, I shouldn't bump, but I'd like everyone to see this and give my their honest opinions.

As you know. Between our faiths the Apostasy is of the greatest importance. Grind that argument to the ground and you get millions of Mormons becoming catholic or billions of Catholics becoming Mormon. Since LDS is already doing wonders in converting Mexican catholics, I'm thinking this isn't the last we'll here of you guys and the last you'll here of us.

Always in Love,

I think the LDS church began as a cult, and still is in some ways. I don't buy Joseph Smith's assertions at all, and frankly, I think he was a nut.

But that said, I have found that many of the people I've met that follow the LDS church have been kind, intelligent, sincere, and tolerant of the views of others. So although I never thought much of their religious perspective, I have tended to think highly of the members.

I tend to view the LDS church with much of the same incr
