Evangelizing the FLDS

Post by **_moksha** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 4:59 am

I noticed at MAD that some have expressed the concern that the FLDS are being evangelized by the Baptists who are providing shelter for some of them during this hostage negotiation. Are these MADites worried that these FLDS will be lured away from the true faith?

What is your opinion?

in my opinion, it like anywhere else, try to smear the reputation of those who oppose Mormonism.

Yup. I think for smac that's pretty much it: Mormons help out of the goodness of their hearts; Baptists help to convert. For me, I think both groups are similarly motivated to help those in need in such circumstances. Base ulterior motives need not be attributed.

Maybe the MADites are waiting for a press release laying out why the glorious baptist church is performing such a needed service. Possibly the MADites can get hold of the church's PR firm so that the baptist church can properly address this publicity opportunity they are missing out on.
