comment this week about Mormons believing that Jesus and Satan were
brothers, I had to read through the chapter on Mormonism in Kingdom of the
Cults. Not only do they indeed believe that Jesus and Satan were brothers,
they deny the Virgin Birth, the sufficiency of Christ's death on the cross
to atone for all sins and such things as God was a man once just as we
are. He achieved such a state of holiness in his flesh that he was
rewarded by becoming the god of this planet. He showed up here as Adam and
later impregnated Mary, who conceived and produced Jesus. He also had a
few kids with the other Mary and her sister
Martha.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over
weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all
kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the
truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men
oppose the truth — men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is
concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in
the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone. NIV Did you
ever wonder why the J.W.s and the Mormons and their ilk always do their
legwork in the middle of the day? It's because the women are normally home
alone. Every family that I personally know of who has been indoctrinated
by one of these groups has been because the wife was first
