Pentecostal Church: The scriptures tell us that the "law and the Prophets" were until John, since that time the Kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." (Luke 16:16) What's more, we read in Matt. 21:37, in Christ's parable of the husbandmen, that He compares himself to the son that "Last of all He sent unto them His son, saying, they will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him." (Matt. 21:37-39) we find, therefore, that Christ was the last prophet sent to the world, and John was the last prophet sent to the Jews. How do you explain that?
Missionaries: That's quite an interpretation you got out of those scriptures. Luke tells us the "Law and Prophets were until John," and since Acts 3:22 tells us that Christ was a prophet and He came after John, undoubtedly it referred to the law in Luke 16, and Christ did away with that law. That Christ was the last prophet to the world confirms your ignorance. Now going on to read that He was merely the last prophet sent to the Jews we read in Matt. 21:43, and Acts 11: 27 where it tells us after the death of Christ there were prophets at Jerusalem; Acts 15:32 tells us Judas and Silas were prophets, and Acts 21:10 tells us Agabus was a prophet, and you forgot that Christ chose those apostles, which were also prophets. The scriptures prove that Eph. 4:11 meant by saying until we come to the Unity, etc., that there were prophets and apostles after Christ died and that there were always to be living prophets and apostles. Is there any other church on earth that you know of that even claims to have these priesthood offices as their leadership?

Pentecostal Church: I understand you can also dance in the Mormon Church. Wouldn't you say that is breaking the laws of God? You had better not use the Old Testament to point out dancing there because it was a religious ceremony. Why do you dance at your church?
Missionaries: Christ apparently approved of dancing, because in His parable of the "Prodigal Son" when he said, "Now his elder son was in the fields and he came and drew nigh to the house, and HE HEARD MUSIC AND DANCING" (Luke 15:25) We believe dancing then is proper under wholesome circumstances that are properly chaperoned.

Baptist Church: I have a question, which comes first, the Priesthood or baptism in the Mormon Church? You see, l challenge you to show me a passage or verse where the apostles were baptized into the church. Also, a passage or verse to show me who did it, since John 4:2 informs us that Christ did not baptize. Also, can a man hold the Priesthood without being baptized?
Missionaries: The cases are few and far between but a man can hold the Priesthood without being baptized. Joseph Smith received the Priesthood from John the Baptist, and then baptized Oliver Cowdery, and the same was true in reverse. Our Lord, in Matt. 10:1-3 gave the apostles His power and authority, (also Luke 9:11) and I guess due to your own lack of knowledge you did not read in Matt. 20:21-23 where Christ promised James and John that they were to be baptized. You have also forgotten that it was the "council" and "will" of God for them to be baptized, "of the baptism of John." (Luke 7:29-30) Also, the baptism could have been performed by anyone who had the Levitical or Aaronic Priesthood which Priesthood the Jews held. The fact that we do not have records on everything that was ever done with the apostles does not mean it was not done. The teachings are there and therefore it was done but there exists no written record of it today.

Methodist Church: I understand in your church you have tithing, fast offering, fast days, and not all your apostles appoint officers in your church. Can you produce for me in the New Testament where these practices were found in the early church?
Missionaries: I certainly will. For tithing, read Matt. 25:23 and you will find that Christ taught the principle. For membership appointing leaders, (and not apostles appointing them), read Acts 6, where the seven were chosen by the congregation, and for fast offerings try 1 Cor. 16:2. These were all doctrines of the early church. There are so many scriptures on this subject that it would waste our time to show them to you.

To the CES Director
[Name of CES Director Removed],
Thank you for responding to my grandfather's request to answer my concerns and questions and for offering your time with me. I appreciate it.
I’m interested in your thoughts and answers as I have been unable to find official answers from the Church for most of these issues. It is my hope that you’re going to have better answers than many of those given by unofficial apologists such as FairMormon and the Neal A. Maxwell Institute (formerly FARMS).
I’m just going to be straightforward in sharing my concerns. Obviously, I’m a disaffected member who lost his testimony so it’s no secret which side I’m on at the moment. All this information is a result of over a year of intense research and an absolute rabid obsession with Joseph Smith and Church history. With this said, I’d be pretty arrogant and ignorant to say that I have all the information and that you don’t have answers. Like you, I put my pants on one leg at a time and I see through a glass darkly. You may have new information and/or a new perspective that I may not have heard or considered before. This is why I’m genuinely interested in what your answers and thoughts are to these issues.
I’ve decided to put down in writing just about all the major concerns that I have. I went through my notes from my past year of research and compiled them together. It doesn’t make sense for me to just lay down 5 concerns while also having 20 other concerns that legitimately challenge the truth claims of the LDS Church.
A quick description of my background might help you understand where I'm coming from. I was a very active and fully believing member my entire life up until around the summer of 2012. My grandpa already outlined my life events to you in his email so I think you get the idea that I accepted and embraced Mormonism.
In February of 2012, I was reading the news online when I came across the following news article: Mormonism Besieged by the Modern Age 1 . In the article was information about a Q&A meeting at Utah State University that LDS Church Historian and General Authority, Elder Marlin K. Jensen, gave in late 2011. He was asked his thoughts regarding the effects of Google on membership and people who are "leaving in droves" over Church history.
Elder Marlin K. Jensen’s response:
This truly shocked me. I didn’t understand what was going on or why people would leave “over history.” I started doing research and reading books like LDS historian and scholar Richard Bushman’s Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling2 and many others to try to better understand what was happening.
The following issues are among my main concerns.

Methodist Church: If your church is true, why are there so few members in it?
Missionaries: Because Christ said, "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:1) However, we are the fastest growing church in the world today and the 3rd largest Christian church so based on your statement your church must not be true.
Methodist Church: I would like to ask you some questions about Joseph Smith. If he was a prophet, why did his wife and son leave the Mormon Church and join the Reorganized Church whose headquarters are in Missouri? Also, if your church is true, why did the three witnesses leave the Mormon Church and hold bitterness against Smith, along with several of the eight witnesses? If it were God's church there would only be love and harmony in it – and at least his own family would have stayed in the church.
Missionaries: Your questions surprise me. Christ said, "Suppose ye that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division. For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son,
and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter shall be against the mother, and the son against the father." (Luke 12:51-54) So the Gospel would divide homes, and this was true even in the home of the prophet. However, you are wrong about his wife. She remained true to the church and did not join the reorganized church. However, she did remain in Missouri to stay where her husband was buried. Your statement against the three witnesses being out of harmony with the prophet, and then stating this as a qualification of identifying a false church, made the original church false, is not accurate. All churches lose members from time to time for any number of reasons. How is that a qualification for truth? Even though they left the church they never denied seeing the angel or the original gold plates, which is the crux of the matter. We read in Acts 15:37-41 where the feelings of Paul and Barabbas were so strong, "and the contention was so sharp between them, they departed asunder one from the other, and so Barabbas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus, and Paul chose Silas and departed." Also, in Galatians 2:11 we read, "But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed."
Anglican Church: Speaking of the three witnesses, I have before me a pamphlet entitles, "An Address to all Believers in Christ" by Mr. David Whitmer, one of the three witnesses. In this pamphlet, he describes the solemn mockery of the Latter-day Saint Church and his contempt against its leaders. His closing words are, "Oh foolish Latter-day Saints" and his final plea is for them to return to Christ. I'll bet you didn't know that David Whitmer denied your church and wrote against it, did you?
Missionaries: He never denied seeing the angel or the gold plates from which it was translated. The fact that he was disgruntled over not being chosen for a high position in the church and therefore left it and disagreed with some of its practices again does not disprove the truth of the restoration of the gospel. He was a man embittered and left the church, but your proposal here today is not to investigate his feelings about the Church but as a prosecution, to show me where it is shown to be false or that there is a false witness about the plates. I really don't care about that pamphlet, and yes, I have heard of it. To show what kind of faith this man did have, just before his death he had printed in the New York Times and the London Times the following statement, "I wish now, standing in the very sunset of life and in the face of God, once and for all to make this public statement; I have never at any time denied the testimony or any part thereof. I have always adhered to that testimony. I do again affirm the truth of all my statements as when made and published. It was no delusion. In the spirit of Christ, I submit these statements to the world, God being my judge, as to the sincerity of my motives." Many of the town's most noted citizens signed a certificate saying that he was a man of the highest integrity. Therefore, gentlemen, the testimony of David Whitmer still stands as a witness to the entire world that “The Book of Mormon” is true.

We Are His
I only ask this simple Question,
Yet you answer me with a question.
Is it hard for you to answer
that we are gods?
Or is it hard for you to believe that we are?
I let you think if God is our Father,
And we are His children;
So are we brothers?
I let you think if we are Brothers,
And our Father is a God;
So, are we Family?
Think of it, We ARE HIS.
- Jerry Bustillo
Yet you answer me with a question.
Is it hard for you to answer
that we are gods?
Or is it hard for you to believe that we are?
I let you think if God is our Father,
And we are His children;
So are we brothers?
I let you think if we are Brothers,
And our Father is a God;
So, are we Family?
Think of it, We ARE HIS.

Time Can’t Tell
I look at you at the very moment
When my eyes were deemed and voices unheard
I see my little girl smiles as glances that moment
when you and I never meet somewhere in time.
Could everything happen as how it goes
or does everything around us will appear as what it shows?
I wish to change the time and turn back to where I wanted,
but I guess everything will start as a scratch and all memories faded.
I never knew everything will happen as what it is now.
But I know everything’s going to be okay as if I know somehow.
I learn to live and my experience grew,
but everything didn't happen, as I expected to be shown.
I know somehow that I did something’s wrong and failure,
that lead to a different path of fate and worsen its future.
But perhaps it’s a lesson that all of us should learn.
Nobody can change that act you earn and you can’t turn.
Everybody misses that right moment that should happen,
wishes to undo everything in life he regretted.
Still moving forward and hope that time will show
I wish I win and all is well, I wish I’ll learn to see how time can tell.
But it Can't.
