After over 50 years of studying Mormon, leaving it, researching it, writing extensively about it in a number of books, doing years of radio in Mormon-land and studying my Bible all this time, I woke up with a Powerful word on it during the night last week and a sermon at our church Sunday confirmed it. I will be publishing my findings in a special e-newsletter ...

I was wondering if any LDS person here has had any spiritual experience that they feel at liberty to share with us?

She said it was because we wouldnt be able to live in the presence of our saviour and we would have to live with what we had done wrong in this life. She managed to get pretty much everyone else in that particular discussion agreeing with her, but it never sat right with me. ...

It is by the power of the Holy Ghost that we receive testimony that Jesus is the Christ (John 15:26).
