BLAINE: I posted a reply to your request some time ago. Didn't you read it? Maybe it was at the bottom of other messages, so you could have missed it?? What I said was:
1) I no longer live in the SL City metropolitan area. I live about an hour's drive, near Ogden. This is one problem but not the main one--see #2 below...
2) A major problem around conference time is finding parking within walking distance of the Conference Center. I am mildly handicapped--can't walk too far without engendering pain in left leg and lower back. This is the reason I drove around the block trying to get a visual on you and others one other time. The only other choice I have is to have my wife drop me off, then drive around a few times, which limits the time I can spend. Talk to Ruben, he can vouch for this.
3)Maybe I can make it, I am not sure, depending on what is going on at the time. I will have to see (price of gas, traffic, family commitments, job, etc.)
I offered to meet you Blaine but you have not even answered.
Now if you really believed your god, who talks thru his Standard Works
he has promises there too, you would meet me publicly and confound me. Seems LDs are the ones confounded.
Here is proof positive that the god of mormonism is a False god who can not see or hear Du 4:28 or come thru for any LDS
I have called upon you your god has called upon you your shame is now manifest.
Guess there are NO faithful LDS or there is no trust
It is necessary yet no LDS will open their mouth Publicly
http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/71
"is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel"
"Wherefore, confound your enemies;
call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest."
"there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper"
Do you believe this D&C?

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.
**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!!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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. :)

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.
