Feedback

I want to thank you for your great website. As the leader of a Mormon outreach ministry myself I am very impressed at the clarity and simplicity with which you have presented this information. I encourage you to continue expanding your site as you are able. As one who regularly speaks with Mormons I can ensure those reading this comment that this website hasn't in anyway misrepresented the beliefs of the Mormon faith or it's history. The truth is that most Mormons are simply unaware of the contradictions inherent in their faith and haven't been taught an accurate account of the history of the LDS. Ex-Mormons are those who have made an honest evaluation of these things and discovered the truth. Keep it up!

I love your website. I resigned from the LDS church last July. Your site has really been helping me witness to others about the falseness of the church. Thank you for all of your hard work and research!

Review posted on postmormon.org:

Back to the Mormon Handbook website. (How did they ever get that domain name, anyway? One would think that the Church would have had all such names purchased and on the shelf long ago.)

It is an exhaustive and very well done website on Mormonism (mainly Mormon history and Joseph Smith), and here is a great deal of well documented (original source) information here. Someone (or some group of folks) spent a great deal of time pulling all of this together and organizing it.

With a navigation bar at the top, an extensive and detailed linked subject index at the bottom of each page, and a column with graphics and more subject links on the right, it is easy to navigate and makes a great reference site for us post-mos.

(The subject index with links is available at the bottom of each page stays out of sight until you scroll down for it. But it is always there if you need it. This is a really nice feature for for this type of reference/ information-rich website.)

Hope the word gets out about this one. It is well worth the time to explore.

Hello. I just discovered your Mormon Handbook website and found it to be a very informative website.

I've just been on your website on the polygamy page. Your "timeline" is good, interesting, factual and worth sharing.

I found your site very well put together, very readable. I've sent links to TBM that intends to investigate the Book of Abraham. (And I hope keep reading from there.) This is my new favorite site for presenting the facts against the truthfulness of TSCC's claims. I love the internet! As a former mormon myself, I love how the information is out there for the honest minded to find. Your site does a great job presenting it. Thanks for the great work!

I love the layout of the site and admire the work you have put into it. It is very concise and straightforward.

Your website is fantastic!

I worked for the Mormon Church’s Education System for nearly 30 years as a full time instructor, Coordinator, Release Time Seminary Principal, Director of Institute.

I left CES and the church in August 2002, after enduring years of harassment for teaching the truths about LDS scripture, doctrine and its origins. As Boyd Packer said to we CES faculty in 1981, "some truths are not very useful". In fact he referred to the truth as disease germs.

Thanks to you for your great work. The format is excellent, it is easy to look at and read. The information is excellent.

I've just been made aware of your site at MormonHandbook, and I must say that I am very impressed with its professionalism. Well done!

I wanted to express how impressed I am with the layout and content of your site.

I became aware of your site, Mormon Hanbook, today. I'm an ex-Mormon, not particularly Christian-geared, but your site is great! I love the formatting and design. Goes without saying that it is very well-composed.

Thank for you making such a professional looking well organized site with so much useful information. I will be using this to help my family(parents) see the truth.

Are you tying to disprove the church, support the church from doctrinal differences, or putting up an unbiased comparison? I am wondering this because some of your comparisons are given out of context.

Is this site dedicated to disproving the beliefs of the Latter-Day Saints? If so, is there a specific reason why you would spend so much time and energy on such an effort?

My constructive criticism,

As a professor of world religions I found your so called "handbook" insulting. As a Christian myself (not that that is important in this conversation) I am offended that there are those such as yourself that would use the name of Christianity to propagate such a site so full of untruths to slander anthers beliefs. Yes many of the things stated on your site are true but many have also been twisted to fit your purpose. We as Christians all know that in order to have eternal life we must accept Jesus Christ as our personal savior, be baptized, and try to live our lives "Christ-Like" thus Christian. Its bad enough to slander another religion but to stretch the truth concerns me even more. If Christ was walking the earth today teaching I reallyu think he would have a much kinder, loving, truthful, and forgiving way of approaching things then the way you have decided to approach this. It dont matter if it is The Mormons, The Baptist, The Buddhists, The Catholics or who it is we need to remember they are all our brothers and sisters and to show compassion. Not hatred.

I wanted to let you know that we don't prefer to be called Mormon. We are Latter-Day Saints (LDS). Also in the title of our church "The" and Day need to be capitalized. As in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I started reading on your website and I'm interested to know, are you LDS? Do you know anyone who is LDS or where do you get your information? I really think that people would be better served to visit church approved websites such as LDS.org (mainly for members) and mormon.org (mainly for people interested in finding out about the church). There are several things that I could get knit-picky about with your website but instead of wasting both of our time I think that you should familiarize yourself with our teachings and/or talk to Missionaries.

One thing that I do need to tell you is that the Bible comes first in our scriptures. We following the teaching in the Bible and do not feel that it has been or was corrupted.

I don't see the 13 Articles of Faith mentioned on your website. If you were to read them you could easily find fault with what you have said on your website. The First Article of Faith says, "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." We don't worship any other God. We are Monotheist. There are several areas that you misinterpret the scripture that you have quoted.

The reason I clicked on the link to your website off of my facebook page is because the tag line was something about there not being enough time in Sunday School to learn about Mormonism and I don't feel like that is true. We have plenty of time to learn about Church Doctrine, we have different lessons every week and if we have any questions there is plenty of time and people to ask.

If I continue to read your website I will feel the need to explain what you have misinterpreted or left out. So I will conclude by asking you to please visit with Missionaries or visit our websites and ask questions.
