Allen's Mormon (LDS) Site

This site contains positive information about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes referred to as the Mormon or LDS Church, that will help strengthen the faith of the members of the Church and will provide answers to persons asking about the Church.

You are invited to leave replies to individual pages explaining your viewpoints or asking questions. However, replies that I believe are attacks on the LDS Church will be removed. The main criteria that I use in deciding if a reply is an attack is the “tone” of the reply. We are friends, even though we may differ in our religious beliefs. Our conversations need to have a feeling of “friendliness” and the sharing of viewpoints rather than a feeling of “argument” and attempts to prove that the LDS Church is wrong.

Replies considered spam will also be removed. Replies having links to commercial sites but having content appropriate to this site will be edited to remove the links; otherwise, the replies will be deleted. Unfortunately, because English is my only language, replies not in English will be removed even though they may be appropriate replies. The first time a person replies in this blog, I will review that comment. If the comment is approved, the person can post additional replies  without having them moderated.

A number of years ago, I discussed online over a four-year period the Gospel with non-LDS. I’ve put my responses to them into a book in which I give my understanding of the basic teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and answer many criticisms of the LDS Church. In addition, I have a Gospel Defense section that serves as an educational resource for Latter-day Saints who answer questions about the Church. That section contains a copy of several days of intense (time wise) electronic discussions with critics of the Church. The Gospel Defense section also contains my replies to critical emails and comments that I’ve received from visitors to this site.

I’ve written a number of essays on topics that relate to Mormonism, and those essays are posted in the site. In addition to my writings, this site has pages of inspirational and fun things that I hope you’ll enjoy.

This site uses the blog format so people can reply to individual pages, but it is really a traditional website that uses pages instead of posts. New pages may be added from time to time, but new posts will probably not be added.

Even though this site concerns Mormonism, I speak for myself as an active Latter-day Saint, and I do not represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the LDS people.

Thanks for stopping by!
