Maybe that is the reason why the number of permits to protest are down for General Conference. All the money is going to produce and send a DVD rather than hire the fine upstanding folks who yell gibberish in the bull horn outside the conference center. Whatever floats their boat.....

Don't the fine folks at Solid Rock Christian Fellowship have anything better to do? That's utterly pathetic and a little bit creepy.

Wow, anti-Mormon literature...we've never seen this before. How original...
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

If you really, truly believe in your own religion, then it is imperative that you share the good news - you can't in all conscience not. As the flip side, if you really, truly, fervently believe that someone else's beliefs are going to damn them to eternal perdition, you must try to convince them of the error of their ways. It's only logical. If there's any logic involved on the subject...
Sometimes fervent belief is not friendly toward the neighbours.
Don't feel bad - every person who comes to my door sharing, pushing, or selling their religion is dead set against my personal religious feelings. Just gotta roll with it.

As a religious bystander, I have long admired the Mormons for their work ethic and ability to make something of nothing. The main difference I have seen between the Mormon beliefs and other Christian religions is the strong emphasis on family, which I feel is a fundamental characteristic of the LDS. I have never understood the need for some religions to try to promote themselves by bashing another. All religions seem to teach tolerance rather than judgment, yet many religious leaders are compelled to put down the others.

My question - why do they only send this crap out twice a year? I mean, most of us are Mormon's 365 - we can handle a bit more anti-stuff

< DVD's = < protest signs. I'd rather see more protest signs. They're quite funny.

This accounts for my disdain for organized religion. Any religion professes to know the answers and have the keys to the kingdom is suspect in my book. And that's almost every religion out there. I grew up around a lot of catholics and fundamentalist born-agains, so know the territory. Ultimately it makes for sublime entertainment watching the factions duke it out."The eagle never lost so much time as when he consented to learn of the crow."

Anyway, I agree with sparker1 - admiration for the work ethic, and the emphasis on family. Perhaps both have something to do with the previous paragraph?

Interesting article (make sure to click on the links if interested):

Rather than focus on what they believe, the video's producers have taken it upon themselves to describe and interpret LDS beliefs and teachings,
Thx for the link Scott.
