I live in a little town in Ohio. I'm a Catholic, as are most of my neighbors.

In 2007, we suffered the worst flood in four generations. My office had two feet of water in it, and during the cleanup, we ran out of supplies. The hardware stores were closed, so we went to see if the town had accumulated any supplies. When I got to the city garage, I saw pallets of cleaning supplies and bottled water, shipped to us by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

You believe what you want to believe about the Mormans; for my part, I will never forget how they acted as Christ taught in helping a stranger in need.

First of all, I am a descendent from a Mormon leader...& have many Lds relatives.

Secondly, Mormons are pressured to get a temple recommend to perform various rituals there. To get such a recommend, you need to give 10%. [Hence, PLENTY -- and I mean PLENTY of $ for Lds, Inc. to buy as much bottled water & other supplies as multiple countries might need...let alone a regional flooded area.]

How "easy" is it for Lds, Inc. to exact & extract this 10% from its members?

No recommend, no temple access. [Including not seeing your own daughter -- or son -- married in the Lds temple]
No temple access, no "forever family" (Lds believe you can live forever as a family together)
No "forever family," no living with Heavenly Father (Lds theology says ONLY temple Mormons get to live forever with Heavenly Father; they exclude all Catholics & Protestants & Orthodox from that eternal relationship...does that sound very "loving" to you?)
And No temple rec, no becoming a "god" -- advancing from the "god in embryo" that temple Mormons already believe that they are...

Hence...you better believe temple Mormons are going to be on their best "neighborly" behavior. Why? Well, if you're auditioning for godhood, of course, you'll go out of your way to be "neighborly." Every work constitutes another "brownie" point on their alleged road-to-godhood!

You believe what you want to believe about the Mormans; for my part, I will never forget how they acted as Christ taught in helping a stranger in need.

Well, you neglect what you want about MormonISM...But be sure to ask God, how "tolerant" is He to men setting hemselves up as rival gods...

Because a temple Mormon can give you a bottled water with one hand,
...and attempt with the other hand to steal glory from God (by claiming to one day be able to receive worship, adoration, adulation, prayers, and have the same creator-power God as rulers of their own world).

I would suggest that you and your neighbors ask your priest to have a training session about MORMONism.

Find out what the RCC knows and teaches about it.

“You believe what you want to believe about the Mormans; for my part, I will never forget how they acted as Christ taught in helping a stranger in need.”

Don’t confuse works as a belief in Jesus Christ. There are plenty of non religious organizations that offer aid in times of need. Although Mormans say their belief in Christ is real, it is not the Jesus of the Bible. It is their version of Jesus Christ. Jesus was not the brother of Lucifer as the Mormans believe. They may be fine as individuals and even as a group, however its not about what they do, but what they believe.
