as i was looking for a picture of a temple.. i stumbled across this site http://windysydney.blogspot.com/2007/11/mormontemple,html
i do not understand why someone would post such a descriptive blog about the church. I mean at one time those things had to be sacred to her... correct? in one instance she says baptisms for the dead are not right. well i plan to go and do that this Thursday, she seems to believe that when the people are baptised that they have the religion forced upon them, that they must take it, and she has also claimed to have backed this information with real facts. But isn't that claim wrong (correct me if I'm miss understanding) they still have a choice to be part of the church right?
but the fact that she claims that she doesn't want to be degrading and that the Mormon church is lying to everyone. its at least degrading to me. i mean these are things that i firmly believe in... and she acts like its all a lie. but she had to have believed once, even if the spirit feels like warm fuzzies, because it does, i know that from my pioneer trek, why would people cross those plains if they thought it wasn't true?
the church is such a tight nit organization that everything interlocks and works, so how can you say it isn't true... i don't understand how someone can be so confused on something so simple.
i love the church with all my heart and if some people consider it a cult, then tell me why the Mormon church was faster then the red cross getting supplies to all the natural disasters. i know you cant reason with people who despise the church but at least look at all the good its done and be happy that its helped people.
and if your supposedly going to be telling the truth, say the whole truth.

I remember as a teenager I used to get so frustrated at the early leaders who saw angels, were a witness to the brass plates, and directly involved in the restoration of the gospel on this earth and then walked away from it all and denied it. I couldn't believe that someone with such testimony building experiences could outright deny something they knew, without doubt, to be true.
Then one day I realized something. Was their testimony any stronger than mine? Do I know any less than they know that this church is true? Since I haven't seen an angel, I didn't touch the brass plates that I don't absolutely know them to be real? Of course not. I know because I've listened, obeyed, and asked for witness, which I have received.
If you want to know the truth it will be poured upon you, but as soon as you decide otherwise and quit taking in the spirit there's no end to how far off you can be led.
I don't know if she ever really believed, or if she went through the motions. But, I do know that as long as you're humble and prayerful you'll have everything you need to stay on the right track. Your faith will never be twisted into something that not only takes yourself away from the gospel, but tries to damage others as well. This is Satan's goal, and anyone who is willing to stop, think, and be reasonable will clearly see this.
If only everyone was reasonable.
