After reading Lesley Butterfield’s April 11 commentary, I was reminded of a recent conversation I had with a gentleman from out of state.
In a polite, but matter-of-fact tone, he explained his belief that my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which he used to be a member of, is a cult, that the teachings found within my church are not biblical, and in fact are devilish. He then proceeded to warn me that, unless I fully rejected my church’s teachings and became a born-again Christian, as he had done, I was doomed to eternal damnation.
