Prayer
11/14/11- As you know, Mormonism is all over the news. San Antonio is one of the test markets for the, “I am a Mormon” campaign. Please pray for more speaking engagements so that we can inform people about the differences between Mormonism and Christianity.
11/7/11- Typically things slow down in November, but that is not the case this year. Mormonism has been in the media because of the two Mormon Presidential candidates and that keeps us very busy.
We also have a number of exciting projects and opportunities coming up in the near future. Please PRAY that we prioritize and keep up with everything during this busy time of the year. Thanks for praying and may God bless you for His glory!
Fifth Generation Mormon Comes TO Christ
I was a Utah-born-and-raised, 5th generation Mormon. One of my ancestors helped wire the Salt Lake City Temple for electricity. My grandparents were close friends of President Thomas Monson. My parents are BYU alumni, my father is employed by the LDS Church, and the majority of my relatives have served missions, had high callings in their wards, and are devout Mormons. So why am I writing for a newsletter that my family would call “anti-Mormon”? They would say it’s because I’ve always been a rebel, the black sheep of the family. They...
read moreEx-Mormons, Priesthood, And The Book Of Hebrews
When working with people who have left the Mormon church, one of the biggest issues for them to work through is that of God’s priesthood. The Mormon church does a superb job of teaching its members about their two divisions of the priesthood, the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods. They claim that the priesthood is the authority to act for God on the earth. (Gospel Principles, p. 81) They assert that in order for any church to be led of God, they must hold this priesthood in order to perform any ordinances properly. Of course, they also...
read moreEvangelizing Utah… Mission Impossible?
Our recent trip to Manti, Utah (discussed in the last newsletter) was an incredibly exciting, faith-strengthening experience. One of our goals was to become better acquainted with Chip Thompson, Pastor of Ephraim Church of the Bible (ECB). The town of Ephraim is five miles north of Manti. Every morning ECB hosted a two hour training session for the believers who came to witness at the Mormon Miracle Pageant. We conducted an interview with Chip and discussed various topics that we thought would interest and inspire our readers. Chip was raised...
read moreAre Mormon Temples Biblical?
On June 24th, 2001 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) announced that they would be building a temple here in San Antonio, TX. As the construction nears completion, many people are questioning what the large building in the Stone Oak area is and what it is about. Temples were an important part of Judaism, and the New Testament mentions Christians being in temples, but an examination of the biblical role of the temple reveals some surprising facts when compared with the role of the LDS temple. In Mormonism, temples are not...
read moreInvestigating Other Religions
I (Keith) once had an interesting conversation with two Jehovah’s Witness ladies. While at the airport, one of them offered me a Watchtower magazine. I quickly flipped through it and came across an article titled, “Should you investigate other religions?” (Watchtower 10/15/00 p. 8-9) I asked if I should, and the ladies mentioned that the Bereans in Acts 17:11 were noble minded because they checked the scriptures to see if what the Apostle Paul was teaching them was true. They encouraged me to do the same thing. I asked if it was just...
read moreMormonism is not a Denomination of Christianity
It would be hard to find an American who has not seen one of the commercials presented by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the LDS Church or simply as “the Mormons.” These carefully crafted commercials portray a clean, wholesome, and family oriented religion with the intention of creating the belief that Mormonism is a Christian denomination. Although The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints claims to be the only true and living Church, it cannot be considered a denomination of Christianity. The world...
read moreEvil Cats And Birthdays
Occasionally during our ministry we come across humorous situations and articles. The following is an example of one of those. This essay, written by an ex-Jehovah’s Witness points out how the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society can twist anything good into something evil. The 1st piece below from “Insight on the Scriptures” is official Watchtower doctrine and is binding upon all Jehovah’s Witnesses. Take notice of some of the phrases, terminology, and ridiculous argumentation and then read Dave’s article. Dave uses the same...

Do you remember growing up? Your first days at school, making friends, hanging out at the neighbor’s house, going to the zoo, eating cotton candy at carnivals, having sleep-overs, participating in all kinds of group activities: sports, scouts, weekend hobbies, choir, band … the list goes on. Remember the times with your family? Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas morning, Easter egg hunts, valentine’s cards, birthday parties, and fourth of July parades. You’ve probably got a myriad of precious memories of those sweet and innocent days....
read moreIf Jesus Isn’t Your Mediator, Then Who Is?
As a Jehovah’s Witness, you may find the title of this article offensive, inaccurate and based on a false assumption, but contrary to popular belief, Jesus isn’t the mediator for all of mankind… at least that’s what the Watchtower teaches. In order to clear up this view, lets join Evidence Ministries in a fictitious interview with Watchtower spokesman, J.W. Mann. All of the lines from J.W. Mann are direct quotes from Watchtower literature followed by the reference for the quote. EM– Mr. Mann, thank-you for taking time out of your...
read moreJehovah’s Witnesses Annually Reject Christ
For as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives. 1st Corinthians 11:26 – New World Translation Every year at Passover, Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide attend a special meeting after sundown. What some Christians call “The Lord’s Supper” or “Communion”, Jehovah’s Witnesses refer to as “The Lord’s Evening Meal.” Just as churches are filled with nominal Christians on Christmas and Easter, so it is with the Witnesses on this important day. In the year 2,000,...
