12/21/05	Are you kidding me? Trying to make money off a dumb topic like "defend yourself from the attacks of Jehovah's Witnesses". Attacks? Really? Really? Did you seriously say that? No, we didn't say that - really! Really! HAHAHAHAHA I needed a good laugh! Here's what you REALLY need www.howtomasterreading.com And no I am not a baptisted Witness, (what exactly is a "baptisted Witness"? ) I just think you are a sad sad person trying to make money off religion just like those "preachers" on TV. WOW I am still stuck on the whole attack thing!!! That has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard! {Didi} *Well, when you find out where you actually heard it, let us know! Maybe we can laugh with* you instead of...nevermind.**
		Oh, dear sweet Didi, you are just so ripe for the picking for our cult-friends. We are so sorry you chose not to respond to our repeated emails. Perhaps the "Mother-Ship's" firewall won't let you receive emails. Regardless, maybe you can help us out - if the next planet you land on offers book and CD publishing for FREE, let us know - then we won't have to charge people for our material and you can sleep better at night.

12/20/05	u know that in Jesus day, the religious leaders spoke against Gods word of truth, theirfore Jesus rejected them, they are doomed for destruction(MT23:15). Is their anyway possible that Jehovah' Witness is right as a whole (no), what are the olds? (I don't know what the olds are ). Do they not believe that if you speak out against the word of truth, that that is the unforgivable sin. Question is could you be commiting that sin? {Nathan}
		I'm sorry Nathan, we just don't get your point at all.

11/24/05	You people are dumba{CENSORED}s. Maybe you should spend your time contributing helpful things to the world. Have fun with your meaningless lives now, bye bye. {Cassie}
		And a "Happy Thanksgiving" to you, Cassie. Be careful not to put any food in that mouth, it's filthy!

11/17/05	Yall are false false false you clearly fotn know the truth about the two religous groups you have attacked (you're right, we "fotn"), and are so far off it is not even funny. clearly you should spend more time studying and less time lying sofften your heart and recieve the pleasing word of god, do not be foole, so not teach men by your own precepts and understanding. in short only the truth can be known by the manifold grace of god, and you should seek it.
		(And you all just think it's so easy sitting here and reading these emails, don't you)

10/19/05	It is really sad that you waste time and money printing lies about such good and truthful people as the Jehovah's Witnesses! Then on top of it all you sinfully make a prophet ("prophet" - there's a Freudian slip ) off such lies too....I will pray for you that you may be found by such kind hearted door to door visitors that freely share the truth of God's word. *Thanks! Please do - I've got 100+ years of documented false prophecies, doctrinal flip-flops and contradictions I'd like to ask them about!*
		Hey, here's a thought - before you start popping off about all the "lies" we're printing - try actually going through the program! At least we actually READ all the JW stuff before we drew conclusions...

10/8/05	I am not a Jehovah's witness, but the mere fact that you are trying to profit off of them is clear to me that your information is false. Well, that's logical Hey, does the fact that THEY make money by attacking the Christian church make them false? Here is what I have to say to all of the false prophets. God will have the clear and final word over all. You will be held responsible for the countless numbers of people you mislead and try to make money off of. *AMEN! WE RESOUND YOUR SENTIMENTS TO THOSE FALSE PROPHETS!* See you when God takes over as ruler. OK!!!

10/6/05	stop tryin to crush others and try building my friend. you really took hold of the preaching work (I don't understand what that means). behind a computer and preaching lies..stand up and offer your "free" service at the doors show ur face
		Yet another person who has not tried either program calling us liars. Hey, at least we READ your stuff before we commented on it...

9/30/05	Hi, I was really glad to talk with you and thank you for praying with me. I had been studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses for almost 5 years. I'm so thankful to you for sending me the truth before I became a jw. May our HOLY FATHER BLESS YOU THRU JESUS NAME, amen. {Helen}
		PRAISE BE TO OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST! It is His hand that reached out and pulled you from the certain death as He did for Peter (Matthew 14:28). Take awe in THAT Helen! That He loves you as much as He loved those that walked with Him as He walked the earth! We will continue to pray for you and may God continue to bless you and make His presence felt in your life.

9/17/05	i dont think that the jehovah witnessess are people who are questioning any ones faith they want people to see and acknoledge everyhting that's on the bible and not what other people teach them ....... (HEY - THAT'S PRECISELY OUR GOAL!) {CLM}
		As far as the Jehovah's Witnesses, however... Is their teaching that Jesus is really Michael the Archangel in the Bible? How about the IMPERSONALITY of the Holy Spirit? That Jesus didn't PHYSICALLY rise from the dead? The non-existence of hell? Not celebrating holidays? Rejecting blood transfusions? See what I mean... Thank you for writing, and visiting our website! If you have any other questions, please let us know!

9/9/05	Good job! Bless you for having the courage to reveal the truth. Reading your other emails, it's obvious that the truth sometimes hurts. Hang in there. I've found some great stuff here, and will be referring my sweet, naive, LDS visitors here when they start looking for answers their church doesn't have! Thank you for shedding His Light on these matters. {Adina}
		Praise be to the Lord - He's the one that has put the passion and love in our hearts for these wonderful (yet mislead) people. We GREATLY appreciate your sentiment - it goes a long way around here when the majority of the emails are unsubstantiated personal attacks regarding us or our motives. We are blessed knowing that God led you to our site and even further grateful knowing that you were blessed by your visit. Thank you again.

9/3/05	What do you consider to be the "true gospel of Jesus Christ"? {D'Ann}
	Great Question!	The true gospel of Jesus Christ is that the one God of the universe, sent his one and only son, Jesus, who being in very nature God Himself, took on the form of a servant (humanity). He came to earth, was crucified for the sins of the world, was dead and buried. On the third day He physically rose from the dead and eventually ascended back to Heaven. By placing our trust in Jesus' sacrifice alone for each individual, we may spend eternity with Him. I hope I answered that clearly. Please let me know if you have any questions.

9/1/05	You are the ones perpetuating the lies. When confronted with inaccuracies the watchtower society revises it's material to the more accurate interptation. (Why should an organization being led by Jehovah EVER need to revise anything? Does Deuteronomy 18:20-22 say a prophet is allowed to "revise" what they claim to be from God?) I know for a fact that the y have always identified Jesus the son of Jehovah as Michial the same angel that was with God in the begining and the one that has cast satan out of heaven into the vicinity of the earth, and wo to the earth and wo to mankind. {Faithfull witness}
	“His position is contrasted with that of men and angels, as he is Lord of both having 'all power on heaven and earth.' Hence it is said, 'Let all God's angels worship him': (that must include Michael, the chief angel, hence Michael is not the Son of God).”
	*The Watchtower* Nov. 1879 p. 4 PARENTHESIS THEIRS!!!!
		So much for what you "know for a fact".

8/26/05	You are a false prophet! (What?) If there was a hell you would being going to it! Just as Jesus kicked the money changers from the temple, he will soon come back and kick you and your friends out of the earth, forever. (Gosh, I LOVE it when you people write) Keep working for Satan the Devil if you like, he is only leading you to death, where you will join him. Soon the earth will be rid of you and everyone else who do not obey the bible's teaching's, leaving only the true christians who are actually doing Jehovah God's will here on earth to enjoy a paradise world forever. I hope all your money makes you happy on this earth, because you won't be able to take it with you to Sheol, the place to which you are going. Unless of course you repent and do the will of Jehovah. But first you have to find out what that will is. Have a wonderful day. Hey - thanks! You too!
		THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for writing! We could sit here and tell everyone how JW's never argue from reason or logic and just vault into emotional attacks, but who'd believe us? We could SAY how JW's never want to talk about the issues (125 years of false prophecies, doctrinal flip-flops and complete lack of Biblical interpretation skills), but you would never get the full picture unless you saw it. Well, here is an example! Thank you for your gentleness and respect (I Peter 3:15) - you might want to highlight that verse in your NWT.

8/13/05	Dear DYD, You guys are a breath of fresh air in a stale world polluted by cult teachings of Witnesses and Mormons. People argue that you attack what you don't understand, and while you've studied it, I have lived both. I was raised a Witness, and have broken off from them, and while I was in my search for Christ, I ran across the mormons. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I'm happy to announce that two years ago, I finally and happily gave my life to Jesus Christ, and accepted Him as my Savior. I have never looked back a day since then, though I still receive much persecution from my family cause I've "given up on the truth". Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I think your website is awesome, really well researched, and I would like to offer my help if you should ever need more insights into the Witnesses as I was there the longest. I welcome any emails or replies to this letter. I wish you all the best, and as written in Numbers 6:24-26, "May God bless you and keep you. May He lift up his face to shine upon you and give you peace!" In His Presence, Trevor
		It sounds like you've been brought through a lot by God's sustaining hand. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Thank you even more for your blessing and words of encouragement. 75% of the emails we get are...well...let's just say, "not so encouraging". Yours is certainly a blessing to us - and a wonderful way to start off a Monday. Thank you again. May God continue to bless you,

8/8/05	I visited your web page. I was wondering if your ministry does any work with Mormons themselves (for example, do you ever picket or pass out literature in Salt Lake City during LDS general conferences) or if yours is strictly a teaching ministry that tries to educate other Evangelical Christians about Mormons and others. (Derl)
		No, we do not picket or pass out literature to Mormons. Our goal is to reach them EFFECTIVELY and, while we understand that picketing and tracting is a method of reaching them, we don't believe it to be the "most effective" one. While educating Christians is important, we also hope to take it to the next level and TRAIN Christians how to share the gospel in I Peter 3:15 way. I hope that answered your question. Thank you for writing!

7/23/05	Why do you people insist on tearing others down? I am a LDS woman, and have been a member of the church since I was 8 and I was raised in an LDS home. Believe it or not, I do happen to know a little something about my own faith. ("Little" being the operative word here - you scored a 10 out of 24 on your LDS SAT.) You people who claim to have answers that we don't are sick. (But when Mormons claim to have answers that Christians don't, that's fine, right?) Do you see us having anti-jewish, anti-catholic, or other anti-religion web sites? NO. I have never in my life ridiculed someone else for NOT being of my faith- why do you all insist on ridiculing us? Not once have we ridiculed Mormons - period. This is just 100% not true. Leave us alone? Have you served a mission? Not an LDS mission... Have you been taught the discussion? Yes, many times. Have you been in the temple? You know they don't let non-Mormons in. Have you ever read the book of Mormon? Yes - the 1830 Edition AND the current edition which are OVER 4,000 WORDS DIFFERENT. If not- how can you have any say at all concerning our faith? And if you have- SHAME ON YOU for turning against your faith against God and what you know to be true. Back off okay.
		What I find terribly disheartening is that you attack our program without really knowing anything about it. I only came to the point of critiquing the LDS Church AFTER I studied it. I don't think it would be fair otherwise. Don't you think it is fair to judge claims people make - or should we just "take their word for it"? What about Muhammad? Should we take HIS word for it too? He originally set up the whole "burning in the bosom" test found in Moroni, and millions of Muslims claim that God is testifying to THEM that Islam is the true faith - so what exactly makes them wrong and you right? As far as our programs being "anti - " programs, that's not essentially true either. Remember, it was Joseph Smith who fired the first shot - he was the one that claimed that all Christian denominations were abominations (in the official account of the First Vision - there are 6 varying other accounts not discussed on Sunday mornings at your ward). It is our intention to DEFEND CHRISTIANITY from JOSEPH'S attack. In the process we show how Joseph Smith and Brigham Young fail the test of a true prophet of God so plainly that it is SCARY. I understand as a lifelong Mormon you don't want to hear that, and that's fine. However, there ARE people (Mormons included) that wish to serve God more than they wish to serve the Mormon church. There are those people who have left the Mormon church to serve God as Christians once they realize that, when observed objectively, there is simply NO WAY that God set up the LDS Church. The other side of the coin are people who are so entrenched in the LDS church that they'll do ANYTHING to preserve it - even in the face of clear evidence that it is NOT God's church - they cling to a "feeling" and comfort instead of to the Lord - that's your choice. They email here with open hostility (as you have) and chastise us for doing the same thing their missionaries do everyday (how ironic). I'm sorry you take such offense at what you perceive our program to be - if you try it, I am certain you will find that it is not an "attack piece" or anything of the like. It is a simple, straightforward evaluation of Mormon teachings using Mormon publications - not speculation or hearsay - strictly contextual publications. I look forward to hearing from you.

7/15/05	your gay get proof liar! i aint takin anything from you (Maria)
		Brilliant sentiment - take the rest of the day off, you must be exhausted from all that mental productivity. I'm sure Maria meant that we are just a group of happy people...which is actually true. Don't you just love the "gentleness and respect" (I Peter 3:15) we receive from some of our fans? It just makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over, doesn't it ? Incidentally, do 50+ photocopies of actual organization publications qualify as "proof"?

7/10/05	You guys are idiots :) Have fun ruining peoples lives! (Brad)
		So much for that whole 1 Peter 3:15 principle, eh Brad? Interesting how you equate evaluating Mormonism against Biblical Christianity as "ruining people's lives".

7/6/05	Hi! Intereseting site. I'm sure you get a lot of these types of emails so I'll try to be brief :) I could be wrong, I often am, but the Bible says that God in an eternal unchanging being right? So by that logic, shouldn't the things He does today be the same as the things He did in ancient times? (FALLACY ALERT!: Category Mistake. To say God is "unchanging" does not mean that there is no variation in anything God is involved with - see below, Point #1) As far as organized religion goes shouldn't there be a prophet (Old testament Moses, Abraham, etc.) who serves as God's mouthpiece on earth today then? Not necessarily. It was needed then because there was not a completed scripture, it is no longer needed (see below #2). Wouldn't God's church be organized the way Jesus organized it with apostles and all? No. The Bible says these offices were "foundational" to establishing the church (Ephesians 2:19-20) - the church WAS BUILT on that foundation, and STILL STANDS on it. Maybe Catholics consider the pope the prophet? Not generally nor in the same sense. But in one of your replies to another email (on your mailbox page) you seemed to say that all the orthodox Christian churches (Catholics, Protestants, Lutheran, etc.) are leading people to salvation. Any church that teaches the Biblical identity of Jesus Christ and that faith in Him is the only "work" necessary for salvation is leading people to salvation. Don't Protestants by definition reject the popes authority? Which would mean they reject God's prophet on earth (if the Catholics actually consider him a prophet...I don't know that they do.)right? So where is the organization that Christ set up in those churches? The Apostles set up the offices of teachers, Elders Deacons, (non-foundational, operating offices) - those still exist in most protestant churches. Regardless, church membership and/or structure has nothing to do with salvation through faith in Christ alone. Are the Catholics right to have the pope as God's mouthpiece? If they are then aren't the other orthodox Christians in the wrong to reject that authority? And if the pope isn't God's mouthpiece then who is? JESUS CHRIST (Hebrews 1:1-2) Protestants reject the Pope as the infallible interpreter of the Bible, but that has nothing to do with salvation. The Bible tells us that we need no man to teach us and that salvation is found in the message of the Bible. The only "formal" organization that I have found that matches what Christ seemed to have is the prophet and apostles set up that the LDS church has. Actually the Bible says that the APOSTLES rank higher than the Prophet...quite unlike the LDS. They seem to believe in the same kinds of things that happened in the old and new testament with visions and miracles the like too (regarding the angels appearing to Joseph Smith etc.) Yeah, but the problem is, Joseph's story kept changing. Many Christians affirm miracles and visions ... and many don't change their account 8 times!. So to come full circle here, if God is an unchanging being that does the same things forever and ever doesn't the Mormon church make sense? .Hope you can follow my logic there and thanks in advance for your reply. Good luck with everything. -Isaac in Japan P.S. Oh and what do you think about The DaVinci Code...?
		Now see, many of us can learn from Isaac here - this is a well-thought out email! Nice work Isaac! OK Now to your main questions... 1. God is an unchangeable being by nature. This is metaphysically true (He is immutable) and we are told His purpose is unchanging (Heb 6:17) as well. What God's unchangeable nature DOES NOT mean is that we will never see variety when He is involved. There is variation within the scope of God's activities. In other words, depending on the "scope" of what you're viewing there will be differences. For example, if my scope was God's "daily activities", I could point to weather changes and say, "Hey wait a minute, I thought God is UNCHANGING! Why was the weather sunny yesterday and stormy today?" If however, I view things on the scope of God's eternal maintenance of our planet, I can see that He hasn't changed, He has kept our planet a specific distance from the sun with a specific tilt and provided an "unchanging" atmosphere through which he produces weather variations. 2. I would agree that God does things CONSISTENT with the way He has always done things. While He led His people via a prophet in the past, if you understand that was a necessary feature of a world without a completed scripture, it makes sense. It also stands then to reason when He said that since He had placed His Son on earth and finalized scripture through Him (via the Apostles), that it was no longer necessary to continue the practice of a prophet (Reference Hebrews 1:1-2). According to 2 Timothy 3:15, we have all we need. What HAS NOT CHANGED is the fact that God has not left the world without His leadership and His words - a prophet(s) then, the Scriptures now. 3. Now, I will say that it IS POSSIBLE that God COULD establish a prophet on earth (just that it is not NECESSARY). The real question becomes WHETHER OR NOT GOD DOES have a true prophet on earth. We used the Biblical test for a prophet (Deut. 18:20-22, Duet. 13:1-5) and due to the false predictions and Brigham Young teaching that ADAM was God, we know that Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and the prophets of the Jehovah's Witnesses were FALSE PROPHETS. It is not consistent, therefore, that God would allow a false prophet to initiate something that He would ordain (inasmuch as He condemns false prophets to death). 4. There is no requirement for salvation that has anything to do with belonging to a particular church. Merely TRYING to structure a church in the same way as was done by the apostles does not make the church "TRUE". The Mormon church has many of the same titles, but they are clearly not organized the way the New Testament church was. As far as the DaVinci Code goes, I don't give it much consideration - the author admits it's fictional. Hope my answers have helped, let me know if you have any other questions, In His Name and For His Service,

7/3/05	You can't possibly charge someone for TRUE scriptural defense. Even Jesus healed and raised the dead for free. Notice the poor logical flow - sentence one has nothing to do with sentence two. And Jehovah's Witnesses (NO affiliation with LDS group) offer spiritual truth for FREE! You just can't beat free. Even God agrees. :-) (Rosemary)
		Where exactly do all of you people live? I'm assuming wherever it is, that everyone just runs around giving things away for free! Apparently the greatest crime in this Land of Freebies is asking someone to pay for something that costs money to produce! And, according to Rosemary, the Bible you all use in this Land of Freebies says that it is a sin to do otherwise! Well apparently the JW's of www.bookbind.net never got that version...

6/13/05	Thank you so very much. May God continue to bless you all in Spirit and truth. May your ministry contiually grow to the fullest, shinning the truth until Jesus Christ comes again. (Rich)
		Thank YOU so much for your encouragement. You really have NO IDEA what sentiments like yours mean to us around here. You have truly enriched our lives today - truly. God Bless you. Now get out there and give 'em Heaven!

6/10/05	Why are the first two lines in your opening statments a lie ?!!! (They introduce themselves as "Bible Students") Mormons never do that Can you awanser that? (Arthur)
		Arthur, The products are to teach people how to communicate with Jehovah's Witnesses AND Mormons (not just Mormons). JW's do introduce themselves, on occasion, as "Bible Students".

5/24/05	Dear DYD.com, For the past 5 years or so, I have felt compelled to look further into the Mormon religion. This dates back to when I became friends with a young Mormon Elder. They're really just wonderful kids aren't they? Their sincerity and love for God are the big reasons we do this. Since then I have really been striving to find out more: why do they believe what they do, where is it coming from, etc...?! I didn’t get it, not one bit! These were smart people! But this was all I needed in order to dig deeper (sound a bit like Joseph Smith referring to James 1:5?) Well, my concerns were different; I know what the Bible says about false prophets, deceiving spirits, and what it takes in order to receive salvation and my problem was simple: these people (most importantly my friend) thought so very differently! All the questions I could think of were attempted to be answered by my Mormon friend (as well as others) but he did as good as he could- as good as anyone could do... but there were still so many “ends left open”. For example: the failed prophecies (overthrown gov’t, J.S. not dying until ready, Jackson County temple, etc.), the changing of the Bible, the many ‘revisions’ of the Book of Mormon, etc, etc, etc. Last week I heard Scott speak about this program (at our church) and I was so impressed. I bought everything there (even though it was offered free if anyone couldn’t afford it) WHAT!? FREE!? HE'S FIRED! and have been knee deep in the studies since. I thank you and this ministry for what you are doing. I feel bad for those who are becoming so defensive over this website and most importantly for those who have been deceived! Amen. I thank God that I was lucky enough to be raised in a Christian home because I can only imagine how hard it must be for the Mormons to find the right way (I say this because it is my understanding that it is extremely hard to leave the church, let alone confront and question it). If anyone out there is questioning their Mormon belief I pray they look into the materials here and look up the video “The God Makers”. Not a bad recommendation - here's a link www.saintsalive.org God Bless, Chanelle
		Thanks for writing Chanelle. You attend a truly wonderful and exciting church ( www.cornerstoneforlife.com ) that is fully devoted to God and His word. It was an honor to be invited. It's great to hear you enjoyed the presentation and the materials. It's our prayer that God will use it to prepare you for the next Mormon He brings to your door - please keep us informed and let us know their names - we'd love to put them on our Prayer List. May God bless you for seeking to reach His lost sheep, and may He reward you for your service to Him.

5/10/05	I think that this entire website is bologna! (Boy, try asking those all-knowing JW's to go over I Peter 3:15 with you) If the way you believe is the correct way, then how could your faith be questioned. Jehovah's witnesses know more about the bible than any other religion I have ever seen! I am in search of a religion to belong to, and Jehovah's witnesses have been the only ones who are able to answer any questions I have had and they can actually show me where it talks about what I ask about in the Bible. So know what you are talking about before you judge something that you know nothing about! (A bit hypocritical, isn't it? I mean you haven't tried our program, yet you've judged us AND our program...) (Tracy)
		Tracy, One's faith can be questioned if they are not well-versed in the Bible - that's a big part of our program - to encourage people to STUDY their Bibles! Jehovah's Witnesses are experts in Biblical eisogesis (reading things INTO the text) versus exegesis (allowing the text to speak for itself). I'd LOVE to hear what questions the JW's were able to answer from the Bible - would you be willing to share some? Considering you frown on people who "judge something that (they) know nothing about", I have to say that I am a little disappointed that you have judged our program without really knowing what it says. I am of the opinion that if they ARE who they claim to be, then WE ALL SHOULD BE JW'S! Unfortunately, the facts prove that they are not. In researching and studying the Watchtower for over 10 years, I know quite a bit about the organization and their beliefs. Would you be willing to study our program and give it the same fair assessment? We do have a money-back guarantee.

4/22/05	I recently stumbled upon your website while surfing the net and found it to be interesting. As a lifetime active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I have heard many of the arguments against the church lots of times. The matter of fact is that logic does not prove or disprove truth. (Oh, wait...it gets better...) Truth exists separate from logic and reason. (see...here we go...) Granted as human beings we are given the ability to reason to help seek out and recognize truth, ultimately reason alone is not enough to prove anything. (WE TOLD YOU!!!!) That is the purpose of the Holy Ghost. Really? Where does it say that the purpose of the Holy Ghost is to prove truth? Mormons do not believe that feelings show us Joseph Smith was a prophet, we believe the Holy Ghost does. There is a big difference between feelings and the Holy Ghost and learning to recognize that is part of the process of becoming born again....(Benjamin)
		Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Oh sure, I could try to explain the level of mind control either organization has over their members, but a verbal picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it? Mind you, we responded promptly and kindly to Benjamin - after all it's not his fault! He has merely been misled. Please pray for him (we added him to the Prayer List ourselves) anyone who will reject logic as a test for EVERYTHING has got some serious problems (although one has to wonder whether he used "logic" to determine the truth of the position that logic cannot prove or disprove truth...) Only God can break this hold. Benjamin - if you read this - please return our emails or give us a call.

4/15/05	Just wanted to let you know that I loved how you presented the material in the Mormonism CD's. You guys have done a great job. I have already sent 6 people to your site. My pastor is looking at what you sent me and is impressed. My husband wants to evaluate it now and I'm so glad. Trying to get him to look at what has changed my mind has been hard. This will let him see it withoutfeeling like it's me pushing him. (Sharon)
		Thank you! Plenty of room at the Lamb's Banquet table! (Just pass the desert leftovers my way - no calories in Heaven, you know!)


4/8/05	The Christ I know, teaches people of a gospel of love toward our fellow man. Hey, that sounds like the one we know too! Not once do I recall him attacking others beliefs except by teaching the truth. Well, that's true for the most part, but check John 8:44. I feel sorry for you. Brother - you don't know the half of it - thanks! Christ taught his gospel. I know - so do we! He didn't go around teaching against others. (Um...Chas...have you looked at this? ) A true Christian would follow Christ's example. (Chas)
		Gosh I wish people would practice what they preach! Your whole email is really a violation of your own policy! You are, in essence, attacking OUR beliefs and speaking out against US (something you decry as somehow un-Christlike)! You clearly have no idea what our programs offer. Our programs are exactly designed to reach JW's and Mormons with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It so happens that the Gospel conflicts with JW and Mormon teachings, so we must make a decision which Gospel we will follow. Our programs evaluate each and let the student decide.

3/29/05	Keep up the good work ! (Cap)
		Thanks Cap! (Your check is in the mail)

3/25/05	i find it entertaining how you respond to your e-mails. you say they are "criticizing us" or "forcing her values" on you when really, that's how you perceive these people's honest opinion. if you take it as criticizing or forcing their values, you can't blame them for thinking the same about you. THAT'S OUR WHOLE POINT! When people criticize us for "being intolerant" or "forcing (our) beliefs on them", they, in effect are doing the same thing! While it is true that we are certainly trying to convince people that Christianity is true and Watchtower and Mormon beliefs are not, criticizing us for doing so, is ironically hypocritical. when you read through your website, there is not a feeling of love that comes from it. i thought i'd be interested in what you are selling but after reading some of the e-mails that you are receiving and returning, i think you are just out to defend something you are against instead of explaining clearly what you stand for. i can't determine what you are teaching without buying something and the feeling (at least that i get) from your website, is that you teach by proving others wrong. am i wrong in thinking this? do you have products that explain your beliefs without mentioning another religion? (signed, "curious") YES! Both programs go to the Bible and lay out a belief system. That belief system turns out to coincide with orthodox Christianity (Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostal, et al.). We don't really get into the issues that separate the denominations (eschatology, timing of baptism, the Lord's Supper, etc.). A large portion of the program revolves around the Biblical teaching of who God is and what He demands for salvation. If you take a look at the homepage, you'll see that this program is for Christians (or those considering either the Watchtower or Mormonism). If one is not a Christian, the Battling the Watchtower program does the best job in laying out the case for Christian theology. Good questions, "Curious", thanks for writing.

		Boy, if that bothers you, here are some links that I'm sure will make your skin crawl - where the LDS Church-owned Deseret Press is SELLING Scriptures!

		Goodness, JNH, if you run "Book of Mormon" in the search engine on the Deseret site you come up with 58 pages worth of stuff...strangely, nothing on those 58 pages is FREE!?

		Hey, we'd love to be able to provide the information for free, but we've got bills to pay! Unlike the Mormon church, we don't take donations. Nor do we COMPEL members using their tax records to contribute at least 10% of their income in order to gain entrance into holy temples...

3/17/05	you people have no idea what you are talking about. Hey...that's not nice. This is America for heaven sake, what happened to freedom to choose your own beliefs. Gosh, I don't know - we thought it was still there - was a law passed that we missed? Why are Latter-Day Saints seen as such a threat to every other religion. Latter-Day Saints aren't a threat - they're usually very nice people. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, however, were false prophets and we can prove it. Therefore, the extra-Biblical revelation they produced cannot be from God. If being a latter-day saint is so bad why is it the fastest-growing church in the world. First, let me put this into perspective, a church that has 4 people that grows to 8 is "growing faster" than a church that has say 500,000 that grows to 800,000. Secondly, since when does "growth rate" determine whether or not something is true? Are Christianity, Judaism and Islam "more true" because they've grown longer? and Many people have found the truefulness of the gospel through this church. Really, WHAT IS THE TRUTHFULNESS OF THE GOSPEL you say people have found through this church? You need to open up your minds and your hearts. (Jessi)
		Jessi,
		How intolerant of you to tell us what we "need" to do! What happened to your desire to maintain freedom to "choose (our) own beliefs"? Lisa (below) wouldn't like you because you don't "embrace us for who we are"...then again...neither does she...she wants to force her values on us as well...

3/15/05	I always find people (or websites for this matter) interesting that spend so much time refuting certain beliefs, religions, ideas, etc. instead of focusing on, strengthening and sharing their own. Me too. I honestly believe that is one of our biggest problem as a society today - that we spend too much time critizing others instead of embracing people for who they are. Kinda' like you're criticizing us instead of "embracing us for who (we) are"? I find all Christians, including Mormons, to be very honorable people and thank God that they are going good for our society. Me too! We need more people of every religion and I wish websites like this would be more positive instead of negative - couldn't you spend your time more wisely? I read some of your other responses to people and you asked - why were you offended? I don't necessarily think they are offended, they are just expressing their thoughts as are you. Is your goal to offend or is it to truly embrace a spirit of Christianity? (Lisa)
		Lisa, You raise an interesting point - which is somewhat misguided based on what you PERCEIVE our programs to be. Without even asking I can tell that you have no idea what our program is about. The programs have three basic goals - all of which are commands of God: 1. Learning about God and His expectations for us: The first section of each book includes a detailed Bible exegesis as well as a study of each organizations history, teachings and claims. 2. Evaluating the organizations against what God warned us of: The Bible warns us false prophets, deceiving spirits and prophets who will lead people toward other gods. We have gathered evidence that unequivocally PROVES the leaders of the organization fail these tests. 3. A full section on reaching out to these clearly loving and committed people in a LOVING, COMPASSIONATE and UNDERSTANDING way. When you say we should "embrace people for what they are" what do you mean? Does that mean we have to ignore the edicts to share the gospel with people? Let me ask you this, suppose you are on the roof of a skyscraper with a friend who is blindfolded. Suppose your friend insists on walking in one direction for whatever reason (maybe she likes feeling the wind blowing in her face). Suppose now she is fast approaching the edge of the building - what do *you* do? Do you smile and say, "well that's just who she is - she always has to have the wind blowing in her face, and I 'embrace her for who she is'"? Or do you reach out to your friend and say, "Please stop - I don't want you to die"? Which is the most-loving thing to do? We, for some reason, have been blessed/burdened with a tremendous love for JW's and Mormons - my gosh, they truly are wonderful, wonderful people! Therefore, when we see them trusting in something that the Bible says will lead them to certain destruction we can't help but trying to "remove the blindfold" and help them to safety. AS FAR AS WHETHER OR NOT SOME ARE OFFENDED...you CLEARLY have not read what they've written..."doing such a vile thing"..."deny your selves of all ungodlyness'- but i am sad to say that you are far from that!"..."Please stop trashing something so valuable for so many peolple". That sure sounds like something offended them to us... Also - what is the "spirit of Christianity" you don't think we are embracing? Please don't say "embracing all religions" because that CLEARLY is not what Christ taught - he taught EXACTLY the opposite - that no one comes to God but through him. Lisa, I really wish you would've left your email address - you sound like a thoughtful person and I would've loved to have a discussion with you.
