Mormologic in Conversation With a Mormon

"If it reflects poorly on the church, it is false and deserves no further investigation."

Mormons have long been taught that their church is the only source that can be trusted for information about Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Brigham Young, the origins of their temple rituals, their history of antagonism toward Blacks, the failed prophecies of their prophets and the LDS Church's finances. So don't be surprised if every non-Mormon source of information is immediately dismissed as biased, if not Satanic. As Mormons see it, members of the church don't have any reason to pay attention to what historians, scientists and other scholars might have to say about some of their church's most cherished teachings.

The only thing I will say here, is that if you want to know about a particular protestant faith, you would talk to someone or read literature from that faith, would you not? Likewise with any of the older faiths (Catholicism, Judaism, etc.). So it confuses me when people go to another faith to learn about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Does that seem logical to you?

And if you want to know the truth about the Iranian regime, you should ignore people who disagree with the regime, right?

That's pretty close to what I told people with negative opinions about the church when I was a missionary. I'm grateful to understand now why so many people dismissed me as young and naive back then.

Many a returned missionary, who eventually matured out of Mormonism, has looked back on his or her defense of the church with no small measure of embarrassment.

If Mormons reasoned at work and school like they reason about their faith...

now that's just ignorant piece of conversation in this video. You better believe the LDS church has an agenda, many in fact and while they're at it, they're being complete hypocrites. All you have to do is look around and observe.

The last people to tell the truth about their religion are the Mormons. Ask them point blank how the Book of Mormon was translated...and they will always say...umm.by God....by God...by God..by God....what they will NEVER tell you is that Joseph Smith looked at a stone in his hat and supposedly read the illuminated words.....THAT IS A FACT.

Not sure what members of the LDS church you've been talking to, but my line of reasoning was always thus: If it's only purpose is to badmouth the church, it's not likely reliable (ie The Godmakers), if it's purpose is solely to prove the church right, I'm more inclined to believe it, but it's still just as suspect. But whatever any person says, one way or the other, the answers I go by came from God. What pamphlet, book, or study can trump that?

I can attest that I've been the Mormon using that logic. I've also witnessed that logic in the wild. I can therefore testify that this video is true.

Well, this mormon logic does have provable results
