People are too often "cultured" into the Church by members who truly do not understand their own religion and religious tradition. Evangelical ministers don't want to loose their congregation because it is their livelihood. No one is paid for their service in the Lord's Church, so the desire to keep someone in the fold is based on a different premise. If someone does not receive a testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ or of the Prophet of the Restoration or of any other aspect of Truth, they are welcomed to stay and be nourished as they search or be granted the hand of brotherhood and wished well as they choose to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. We do not spend millions of dollars every year, as the Evangelical churches do, bashing other religions. In fact, not a dime on a pamphlet, book, research paper, or other detraction, as the Evangelical churches do. We have found that when presented with the Truth, the humble seekers of Jesus Christ can make those determinations on their own.
Mmmmm...just WHAT is "the Lord's Church"? I've noticed that phrase used quite often lately. No one has been able to prove that claim.

Care to substantiate the above claim with links to sources?
How much do LDS missionaries and their families pay out every single year for LDS missionaries to go out and claim that every faith EXCEPT the mormon faith is in false?
I agree with your statement regarding the LDS..., "People are too often "cultured" into the Church by members who truly do not understand their own religion and religious tradition."
I am in a newly formed ward composed of many people of color from Detroit.
I really love listening to them and their testamony of how they received the witness.
The many I heard so far haved received a witness from the Holy Spirit as they swere reading the Book of Mormon.
I am learning so many new things, it is such joy to watch how the Lord works to bring His flock unto Him.
One can witness many things written in Jacob about working in the vineyard and strengthening the branches etc.
I'm an Evangelical (NOT used as a perjoritive) and do my exposing of the LDS Organization entirely for free.
wHERE DO i GO TO GET paid FOR IT?
I am rolling on the floor laughing out loud.......Not one dime to bash......stop please so funny....the entire lds movement was based on bashing Christianity.
