The Mormon Cult: The Truth about Mormons and Christianity
I had been a "true-blue" Mormon for over thirty years before I found the
absolute proof that the Mormon Church is a cult. I had been in denial for all
those years, but now I couldn't escape the facts. Not lies and rhetoric from
angry ministers threatened by Mormon success, but cold, hard, objective,
scholarly proof from a source accepted by most Mormons. On this site, I'll
show you the evidence and show you how to use it to open the minds of Mormons
or anybody interested in understanding the truth about cults, Mormonism, and
Christianity in general.
Mormons aren't the only ones surprised by the evidence. Many non-Mormons have
friends and relatives who are Mormon, and based on their experience, they
just can't believe their ministers when they tell them that Mormons are a
cult. Here's a typical story:
"The Mormon Cult" and "The Cult of Mormons vs. Christianity" - these are
themes I heard from my pastor years ago who ranted against Mormon beliefs and
the menace of "Mormonism," but I could never believe him. I knew Mormons, and
they seemed so nice, so "Christian." The Mormon cult members (OK - members of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) told me they believed in
Christ, they told me they worshipped Christ, and they really seemed to talk
and act like Christians. For me, they seemed like the kind of people we
should welcome in our society. A little different, yes, but to me, their main
faults seemed to be fear of alcohol and refusal to party on Sunday. And too
busy doing all their "church work." But a cult? Yet "Mormons are a cult" was
what I heard at church and read in my Christian bookstore - but those books
seemed so biased and (sorry) a little extreme. They seemed to describe a
different people than the Mormons I knew. There is no way that I could
believe they were a cult - until you showed me the evidence! LOL! Now I know
better! Now I understand the Mormons are a cult - and thanks to you, even my
Mormon friends agree!"
After being able to prove to myself and others that Mormons are a cult, I was
faced with some difficult decisions. Suffice it to say that I'm still Mormon.
I have not had my name removed from the records of the Church. I still attend
each week. And I still believe in what the Church taught me: I believe in
Jesus Christ and that salvation comes through His Atonement and mercy, and
that we should have faith and trust in Him and follow Him. But shouldn't I
leave now that I know Mormonism is a cult? Well, that's the problem. Is there
a better cult out there? You'll understand my dilemma when you read the
evidence I discovered, and understand what it means for all of us.
