Anti-Mormons Are Doing Us a Favor
I have decided that people who call us a cult are doing us a favor. Why? Because those who have gotten to know more than one Latter-day Saint well, see that we are good people who love the Lord. The vast difference between what people see/know about us and what those who dislike us purport is enough to stir the curiosity and make our friends ask questions about our beliefs. At this point we can share with them what we truly believe. This includes our testimonies of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world, and the Book of Mormon’s power to bring us closer to Him.
Our task? Live our religion and let Christ’s transforming power take hold in our lives… then open our mouths and share the amazing things the Lord is doing in our lives. By their fruits ye shall know them…. Let our lives speak for themselves and then have the humility to connect the dots back to where credit is rightly due… to the Savior and the Book of Mormon that testifies of Him!

I love this statement. It is so true that when people whose hearts are filled with hatred start trying to spread that hate around, people become curious as to what they’re really upset about.
When people try to put me down I just brush it off and keep on believing because I know that the Lord is working, and whenever someone asks, I will be the first to tell them what I believe in, and how much Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon mean to me.
