I have known many LDS folks, and ALL have been exemplary.

I know a few true liberals and as Thumper’s mother said, “If you cannot say anything nice...”

(I've said it before, and I'll say it again: When you're auditioning for godhood, as are male temple Mormons, of course, you're going to be on your best public behavior!!!)

And even tho Jesus sharply criticized the inward behavior of the legalistic Pharisees...he gave them one compliment too: 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matt. 5:20)

By this...Jesus was saying that the legalistic Pharisees were doing their utmost with outward righteousness...and yet Matthew 23 shows how critically they were failing...ESPECIALLY on the inside!

Jesus, therefore, loved them with the truth! Starting with Himself, The Living Truth!

No doubt they have.

But what do you think of their RELIGION?

[svcw]

exemplary, dedicated............what do those words mean?
mormons maybe fantastic persons, they are still diluted.
mormonISM is not Christianity and no matter how nice they are, or how well behaved they are Salvation eludes them.
Being nice or exemplary does not make Salvation.
Evaluating the truthfulness or the righteousness of mormonism is not found in meeting a few nice people in the lunch room, their beliefs are found in their texts, their videos, their history.....it might serve you well to learn about mormonism before you defend it.
