Most people would wonder how anyone could be so weak, stupid or gullible to join a new church.
Spiritual Abuse is a very real trauma, not something that is imagined. It affects the mental, emotional, physical and, of course, the spiritual state of the sufferer. If this book gets published, the members of the Mormon church will most likely be told by their church leaders not to read it.
“The Brethren” have to keep the real truth from the members.
Why would they do that? Because the truth of the history of the Mormon church is contained in these pages. Books that are written in an unfavourable light about the church are termed anti-Mormon literature even if the facts from their own books of Mormon history are quoted. They will say that people who write against the church are trying to pull the members from the truth and are inspired by the devil. They also state the reason there is so much opposition to the church is because it is the only true church on the face of the earth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is its official name, commonly referred to as the Mormon church. This book is a compilation of the facts for those who wish to inform themselves about this church.
The Mormon church uses lies and deceit in order to perpetuate “the truth”.
In the Doctrine and Covenants Mormon scripture, it says:
“Behold I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbour.” D&C 88:81
They use this “scripture” in relation to their gospel, I will use it in relation to them. I am warning my neighbour about what their "Gospel" truly is. My reason for doing so can be summed up in the story of The King’s Highway.
THE KING'S HIGHWAY
Once upon a time, a king had a great highway built for the people who
lived in his kingdom. After it was completed, but before it was opened to
the public, the king decided to have a contest. He invited as many of his
subjects as desired to participate. The challenge was to see who could
travel the highway the best, and the winner was to receive a box of
gold.
On the day of the contest, all the people came. Some of them had fine
chariots; some had fine clothing and fancy food to make the trip a
luxurious journey. Some wore their sturdiest shoes and ran along the highway on
their feet to show their skill. All day they travelled the highway, and each
one, when he arrived at the end, complained to the king about a large pile
of rocks and debris that had been left almost blocking the road at one
point, and that got in their way and hindered their travel.
At the end of the day, a lone traveller crossed the finish line warily and
walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he addressed the king
with great respect and handed him a small chest of gold. He said, "I stopped
along the way to clear a pile of rocks and debris that was blocking the
road. This chest of gold was under it all. Please have it returned to its
rightful owner."
The king replied, "You are the rightful owner."
"Oh no," said the traveller, "This is not mine. I've never known such money."
"Oh yes," said the king, "you've earned this gold, for you won my contest.
He who travels the road best is he who makes the road better for those who
will follow."
An introduction to the Mormon Church usually comes through two missionaries knocking on doors or through meeting someone who is a member. They will usually present a person with pamphlets and a copy of the Book of Mormon, which is subtitled "Another Testament of Jesus Christ". The book is presented as a record of the ancient inhabitants of the American Continent who were supposed to have come out from

About the Book
In the early 1820s a young boy named Joseph Smith claimed that God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him and told him to found a new church. Thus began Mormonism, a faith that has grown to thirteen million members worldwide. The Mormon Contradiction: In Their Own Words offers the reader an insight into what the Mormon Church is really all about, including: § Where the Book of Mormon really came from § Joseph Smith’s personal history and use of Occultism and Freemasonry § The original accounts of what happened to Smith’s apostles during visions, as related by them § The Masonic and Occult roots of Mormon Temple ceremonies and oaths, including the use of Occult symbols in the architecture of the Salt Lake Temple § The Book of Abraham proven to be a fabrication § Who The Danites were § The original versions of LDS revelations, including the doctrine of polygamy and the Manifesto § DNA evidence proving the Book of Mormon’s history of Native Americans to be false § Linguistic and anthropological studies proving there was no migration of Jews to the New World
About the Author
Marcia Van Outen was raised Roman Catholic. As a young mother in her 20s she converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more commonly known as the Mormon Church. Having received what she perceived to be a witness through the power of the Holy Ghost (an experience referred to in the Mormon Church as a “testimony”) she became convinced she had found God’s true church. As a devout member Marcia devoted nearly all of her time, talents and efforts into studying its doctrines. She spent most of her years as a church teacher and participated regularly in rituals in the
In what were to become the latter years of her membership, she became mentally and physically ill due to spiritual persecution from church officials. As a result of her treatment by those who called themselves God’s representatives, Marcia began to wonder how someone could be made to suffer so much in a church that bore the name of Jesus Christ and boldly claimed to be the only true church on Earth.
While conducting her research into the origins of the church and, in particular, its beginnings in early 19th Century America, she discovered that the seeds of contradiction and deception which one hundred and fifty years later, and a continent away, would bring her so much sorrow, were planted at the outset and that the evidence was to be found in its very own records.The Mormon Contradiction: In Their Own words is the book that she wished she could have had during her own exhaustive and emotional research.
