He {Satan} wins a great victory when he can get members of the church to speak against their leaders and to do their own thinking."

"When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan--it is God's Plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give directions, it should mark the end of controversy, God works in no other way. To think otherwise, without immediate repentance, may cost one his faith, may destroy his testimony, and leave him a stranger to the kingdom of God."
Ward Teachers Message, Deseret News, Church Section Also included in the Improvement Era, (which was the official church magazine before the Ensign)

So everyone is agreed that the LDS (Mormons) are a cult? Even us evangelicals know that.

Evangelicals are also a cult. Even we atheists know that.

At least the LDS offer you your own Godship....
thats more than all you evangelicals offer.
Mormons get to be gods and have their own worlds to minister to, evangelicals just get to sit around heaven with god and slobber all over him for eternity.
If I was going to choose, dude, I would take the godship.........not the asskissin.
