airing joseph smith's dirty polyandry On Joseph Smith's list of at least 33 plural wives, there were 11 known married women whom he married. Of his first 11 plural marriages, nine of them were to married women. This type of union is called polyandry (the marriage of a woman to more than one husband), and was a deliberate violation of the so-called "law of the priesthood," defined in Doctrine and Covenants, Section 132:58-66. What made those 11 unions violations is the clear language forbidding Joseph Smith from marrying any women other than virgins: 60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God. 61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.

"out of mormonism" airing in utah As of Saturday, January 2, Concerned Christians' highly acclaimed radio program, is airing weekly from 11:30am to noon, on KUTR AM-820 Christian Radio Station based in Ogden, UT. As you can see from the clearly distorted (forgive the oxymoron) map to the right, the strongest signal of the station's 50,000 watt transmitter is within the not-so-round red circle. Some static would be experienced in the areas between the red and purple "circles." People living in the area beyond the purple "circle" would need some powerful radio equipment. But, even within the purple area, the coverage is most of Utah, part of northeastern Nevada, and southern parts of Idaho and Wyoming. If you haven't yet heard the program, listen to the podcasts of Out of Mormonism on your computer.

"You cannot go anywhere else in the world and get [salvation]." So said Tad R. Callister of the Seventy, during his October, 2009 General Conference talk. He concluded by claiming, "Salvation is to be found in one place alone, as so designated by the Lord Himself when He said that this is 'the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth' (D&C 1:30). I bear my witness that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the Restoration, just as he claimed to be. I echo the strains of that stirring hymn: 'Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!' ('Praise to the Man,' Hymns, no. 27)." REALLY!? Well, what about the gospel that Jesus taught, where He said, "...no man cometh unto the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)? Or, Peter's similar declaration regarding Jesus, that, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)?

confessions of a lds mom Another DVD distribution, more DVD thefts. Every distribution we've done, Mormons have followed up with stealing some. On the morning of Nov. 7, concerned Christians met again to place the Jesus Christ/Joseph Smith DVDs on people's doors, in a neighborhood adjacent to where the expected Gilbert, Arizona, LDS temple is to be built. As reported to us by a Christian pastor living in the neighborhood, a Mormon mom hired her two boys to go door to door, to remove dozens of the DVDs from people's doors.

Darlington W. Gbee I was born in 1980 in the Republic of Liberia. As a young man, I attended the Methodist Church with my parents. In 1990, due to the outbreak of the Liberian Civil War, my family flew to the Republic of Guinea for refuge. Upon our return to Liberia in 1994, we were relocated to a residence that was adjacent to the Mormon Church. My younger sister became friends with some of the people from the Church and she became a member within months. Then, she encouraged every one of us to visit the Church and invited the Mormon Missionaries to our home. My mother too was highly interested and joined Mormonism.

liberia getting the message Liberia, Africa (shown in green). . .the home country of Darlington Gbee, ex-Mormon and founder of the African Ex-Mormon Foundation, pictured in another scrolling article, accompanied by his testimony. Upon the request of Mr. Gbee, and with the support of Chip Thompson of Tri-Grace Ministries in Ephraim, Utah, Andy Poland wrote an article entitled, Are Latter-day Saints (Mormons) Racist?, which was published in The Inquirer Newspaper of Liberia. You may not know that two countries east of Liberia (Ghana and Nigeria) each have LDS temples. What most black Africans don't know about is the racist LDS scriptures, doctrines and history. Per usual, missionaries don't tell, preventing black investigators from making an informed choice about LDS membership.

a rebuttal to a critic of critics

Bob Betts
Michael Ash is Mormon, an author, a member of the team of FAIR (an LDS apologetics group, as is another group like it called FARMS) and an outspoken critic of outspoken critics of Mormonism. In a recent article in a MormonTimes publication, Mr. Ash made several comments that I wish to challenge.

Michael Ash: Critics frequently state, or imply that

1. LDS scholars are not real scholars.

2. "Real" scholars (by which they mean, "non-LDS" scholars) reject LDS scholarship.

3. LDS scholarship is biased.

These claims are designed to "poison the well" of LDS scholarship. The phrase "poison the well" originally applied to the ancient practice of poisoning wells before the arrival of an invading army.

Bob Betts: Then, this application does not apply to LDS critics, since the Mormon invasion into society arrived 180 years ago.

truth versus error

“Salvation is to be found in one place alone, as so designated by the Lord himself when He said that this is ‘the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth’ (Doctrine and Covenants 1:30). I bear you my witness that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the Restoration, just as he claimed to be. I echo the strains of that stirring hymn: ‘Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!’” (Elder Tad R. Callister, November, 2009, Ensign p. 37)

BIBLICAL RESPONSE: Jesus taught that salvation is not found in a church but only in Himself. "I am the way and the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6b). Because LDS salvation is found in the church, Latter-day Saints are not afraid to praise and worship Joseph Smith. Even the apostle John failed to understand the significance of worshiping an angel: "At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me,'Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!" (Revelation 19:10a). The angel taught John that God alone is worthy of praise!

thinking out loud

On one hand, Mormons define "Christian" with a Webster's dictionary, which is so broad that Muslims could qualify.

On the other hand, Mormons view themselves as the only true Christians, narrowly defining "Christian" as only those who will obey Christ by believing in and following Joseph Smith, his unique doctrines, his church and his successors. Those who don't and won't are considered unworthy of God's kingdom.

So, the LDS definition of "Christian" changes depending on whether the purpose is to be broad enough to include Mormonism, or narrow enough to exclude everyone else.
