DVD Review: Sitting in Glass Houses
Summary: 4 Stars
The following is a letter I sent to the authors of the books mentioned. I think it serves as a review.
Dear Sirs:
I would like to commend you on your excellent videos, "The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon," "DNA vs. The Book of Mormon," and Lifting the Veil of Polygamy." Upon viewing them, I remain amazed that any honest Mormon could still continue in his belief, after being confronted with the facts. But that should not be so surprising. I have noticed for years, how Mormons stubbornly resist the truth.
When I was in the Army and stationed in Alaska, I joined the LDS Church. That was in 1958. After I was discharged, I went to BYU. But in my very first year I began to question the faith. I graduated with a major in German and subsequently became a high school teacher. Having some ability in linguistics, I went on to study New Testament Greek on my own and pursued my interest in hermeneutics--hoping to find the truth.
However, all my research led me down a path I did not expect to travel. Many years ago, I came to the conclusion that the Book of Mormon could not possibly be true--based on the LDS interpretation of Scripture alone. Today, I see serious problems with the "divine inspiration" of the Bible!
It was interesting to note a comment that was made in one of your videos. You quoted Deut. 18:20-22, stating the test for a true prophet. Since Joseph Smith predicted that which did "not come to pass," he must be considered to be a false prophet. How about Jesus? Did he prophesy falsely?
Consider the Olivet Discourse (Mt. 24, Mk. 13, Lk. 21)! Jesus' disciples demanded categorical certainty as to when He should return. Without going into detailed evidence, may I simply say that Jesus predicted he would come again during their lifetime. In fact, the writers of the New Testament consistently set a first century deadline for the second coming. It never happened! Was Jesus a false prophet? Is the New Testament any more inspired than the Book of Mormon?
I can appreciate how hard it must be for former Mormons to acknowledge that they had been deceived. It was heart-breaking for me! Do you think it has been any easier to come to the realization that Christianity is just as untrue as is Mormonism? After years of delving into Christian apologetics, that is the conclusion I was compelled to accept.
Do you really believe that the unsaved Mormon will be suffering endless torment in hell, while you will be spending eternal bliss in the heavens above? I am surprised--even amused--that men of your intelligence and learning can accept such "fairy tales," if I may call it that. I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound disrespectful, and I apologize if I come across as rude. Let me put it this way: I feel that you, as Christians, are sitting in glass houses and throwing stones.
Please, don't take this as a hate-mail! I have no animosity towards any Christian--and certainly not towards any of you. I looked at your videos and actually came to like and admire men such as Thomas Murphy and others who participated in the presentations. I just disagree with your final conclusions. Take it for what it is worth!
Sincerely,
Gosta Stride

Description of Lifting the Veil of Polygamy
When Brigham Young led his Mormon followers westward, polygamy was taught as doctrine not as an option, but as a requirement for exaltation. Joseph Smith had proclaimed it to be an everlasting covenant, a commandment from God Himself. In spite of the modern LDS Church's prohibition of the practice, tens of thousands of Joseph Smith's followers across North America continue the practice of plural marriage to this day out of obedience to the revelations and commandments of a self-proclaimed prophet of God. Today, the mainstream LDS church seeks to distance itself from its peculiar "fundamentalist" cousins who adhere to the original teachings of Mormonism, including polygamy. Nevertheless, many mainstream Latter-day Saints who seek to follow Joseph Smith more faithfully, find themselves moving into Mormon fundamentalism and plural marriage. So what draws them in? And what keeps them?: And what hope is there for those men, women and children--fundamentalist and mainstream alike--who strive to please God while living under the bondage of an impossible Mormon "gospel"? By their fruits ye shall know them. This documentary examines the roots of Joseph Smith's legacy, and its modern-day fruit. We follow the compelling testimonies of nine former fundamentalists, who shed light on this practice and lifestyle which has been shrouded in secrecy since the earliest days of Mormonism, but more importantlyh they share the true freedom they have found in the Jesus Christ of the Bible.Bestsellers in DVD
