understand or carry out. Instead, they choose to pray with the words of their mouths,
lifting their arms up to God,^76 asking for further light and knowledge.^77 They have
certainly received an answer, from their true god—the God of this world.^78 They pray
and fast with “a sad countenance, for they disfigure their faces”^79 when they bow their
heads in solemnity and partake of their sacraments, so that they might appear to
others as if they are a humble and contrite^80 people before God.
They have become some of the most judgmental people who have ever existed
upon earth. They mete out measurements of holiness and worthiness, condemning
winebibbers, smokers,^81 womanizers,^82 and the poor who cannot pay their tithing.^83 They
judge and set measures not only among themselves, but for the whole world,
proclaiming that their way (the doctrines and commandments of their Church) is God’s
only way, even the only way to salvation. Their measures have caused contention,
complaint, persecution, ridicule, and misery upon those who are not members of their
church, or who do not subscribe to their lifestyle.^84 Yes, the LDS/Mormon people have
disregarded every principle of decency accounted for in the “law and the prophets”:
“Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them.”^85
