I was once married to a bona fide, white-shirt-and-tie, bike-riding, garment-wearing Mormon missionary. And not just any Mormon missionary—a master soul-winner for this Christianesque cult.
Of course, I had no idea when I met him that he was even a Mormon. All I knew was he had just returned from a two-year mission to Europe, he never said an unkind word about anybody and he had a sweet heart.
He seemed righteous enough—more righteous than me. But I wasn’t born-again and I didn’t know the difference between a false religion that incorporated Jesus into the mix and true Christianity. My Southern Baptist grandfather tried to warn me, but I just couldn’t see the harm in a Jesus-centered religion. So I ended up marrying a Mormon.
I learned plenty about the secret rituals that Mormons practice, but that’s not what I want to share with you. You can read about bizarre Mormon beliefs in many places...

Ah, I don't know about the rest of you but I think I will go off and weep and mourn over my own prayerless and that of my "church going friends" and "ordained clergy" and do some serious repenting, a large amount of it for tolerating a much distorted image of what a Biblical Church should be, and letting them influence me away from a fervent love for Christ, His Word, the Lost and Prayer.

Jim What essentially these religious heretics have done is basically changed the 'Book' and hence worship in misguided form.
Talking of which Westcott and Hort a couple of Liberal Anglican heretics whose sympathies and religious misguidance ran to the papal Antichrist in the Vatican.
Since then they have helped to change the NASB, NIV and other modern versions - Doesn't that put you in direct league with these religious cults??
And consequently puts you on the wrong side of the apostasy.
