BLAINE: see comments interspersed below with **
If I had a dime for every time I heard this argument.
What do we preach (we are only ANTI's)
I preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. My experience is that 99% of the LDS I talk to can not even tell someone what the Gospel is!
Maybe you could tell us what exactly is the Gospel? Please give us your definition.
KD SAYS Get ready... BLAH BLAH BLAH**99%? Hmm, most LDS are VERY knowledgable about their religion. They go to seminaries, they attend night classes, etc. "I saw another angel, having the everlasting gospel to preach to all nations, kindreds, tongues, ,. . . etc." The Book of Mormon has been translated into over 100 languages--it contains the "Everlasting gospel." The gospel you guys preach is the approximately the same as ours, actually, but for some major problems--for instance you tell everyone, including yourselves, that there is only a heaven or a hell--no other places. Right? We teach the great truth that there are degrees of Heaven, and each will rewarded according to his/her willingness to live honorably and keep the commandments. Those who are unwilling to repent and keep the commandments do go to hell, where they are punished, but eventually Christ's atonement allows even them to be redeemed from Hell's prison, to be resurrected, and to live with the body and the spirit inseparably connected in eternity. ALL will be resurrected, by our gospel, by
yours, many will be in hell forever., I suppose, huh? Hmm, I can't believe that would happen. It sounds crazy to me--no sense of love there!!KD says SEE I TOLD YOU HE WOULD AVOID THE QUESTION LIKE THE PLAGUE! That was a definition of the gospel?
Maybe you could tell us just why we are not effective in your mind
For someone that is not effective your Church sure expends a lot of Time & Effort & CA$H to stop us. Why not ignore us we are harmless right?
**We are concerned for your welfare. We want you guys to know the truth, and those who just might be deceived by your false doctrines need the truth also.KD says Partial credit you answered one. But this is not true, none of your big bold missionary boys even attempts to give us the LDS "truth". They do not trust your god, he is a pipsqueak. I would not trust him either. He promised you would confound your enemies if you met them publicly. All we get is NO SHOWS. Your god paid upwards of 20 Million DOLLARS to keep us off the Main st Plaza My God told me to go have a worship service on that expensive plaza that all that tithe money provided for a great platform. Only my God could use your god's Tithe money and send me to Preach at the front door of the little god's Temple!
If we are so ineffective and as some LDS say we are actually driving people into your church,
I would think your leaders would want to sponsor a national tour!
**That might just work, but for us to get behind you officially would be to endorse what you are doing. By necessity, we need to oppose you. That way, everyone has a clear idea of the difference between truth and the nonsense you teach.
Then you can follow up with just why you think we hate LDS
How much time have you spent witnessing our "hatred" personally?
**I don't really believe you hate us personally--just our religion, and our official Church organization, and the truths in the Book of Mormon. I might also add, I believe you are jealous of our success!!KD says Again NON Answer. Muslims must really have the truth they are growing at a much faster rate and have so many more members. LOL By the way what success? The rate of pedofiles/perverts/murderers/false-prophets the church has been turning out?
What specific conduct leads you to such a "clear" view of it all.
Why & how does this conduct show the "REAL" intents of our hearts?
**You oppose the true work of God--that tells me you are not truly of God and do not truly know Jesus Christ, who is the author of our religion. If you knew him, you would do what he commands, which is to support his work on the earth.
Jesus said He that is of God Heareth God's word Ye therefore hear them not because Ye are not of God
Do you read the National Enquirer?
**No, or at least seldom. I bought one recently to read about the Italians doing some age regression on the image on the Shroud of Turin--they had a neat photo of what Jesus Christ may have looked like as a youth. Very cool stuff.KD says I knew it, How do you discern which is which? BoM? NE?
The reason why you will not answer these questions or avoid these questions by answering a different question all the while pretending that you answered the original question is because you just have:
BASELESS ACCUSATIONS you learned from some other Mormon
Sad to say many LDS are just parrots. Sort of like the ROTE Testimonies you practice at ward meetings.
I know that Joseph Smith was a BLAH BLAH BLAH!
** I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift of God. Is this what you refer to? I know this to be true, I do not parrot anyone, although I am always gratified to hear many others share my testimony. :)KD says Why are they all word for word the same and why are they practised at Ward?

BLAINE: Freedom of speech being the sacred cow that it is, I have no suggestions on how to reach LDS ears and/or hearts with the "evangelical" messages street preachers feel they have for LDS faithful, other than the methods they currently employ. I am sure, however, that these methods are not effective in making converts of LDS to any form of traditional relgion the street preachers advocate. That much seems clear.
Which brings up a question, what do these men advocate? They seem to have no religion of their own--they seem only united on the basis of their mutual hatred of Mormonism, the BoM, JS, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, etc. It's clear to me their inability to tolerate a religion unlike their own (whatever that is) is more at the heart of their activities during Annual Conferences held in Salt Lake City than any religious convictions they might hold otherwise.
