Interview with Latayne Scott on Pop Syndicate
Today on the Web magazine Pop Syndicate, the editor conducted what she calls “a virtual sitdown” with me concerning my writing. In the interview, I shared with her an incident that occurred when I was writing both Latter-day Cipher and The Mormon Mirage. I related how I went to a city where I knew I would be unknown to the local Mormons, attended LDS services and immersed myself in the doctrines. I had to be sure I made the right decision to leave. To stay away. I am sure. For more information, see The Mormon Mirage 3rd Edition: A Former Member Looks at the Mormon Church Today (Zondervan, 2009).

I thought they were fellow Christians with some odd quirks. This organizations purposely presents the public face that I had seen–one that shares the Christian’s language of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Scott’s book clears the air of that false image, relates her difficult journey, and reveals the truth. Latayne Scott tells the profound story of her spiritual devotion and life-filling involvement...
Reason #54: Because of LDS Depreciation of Bible Translation
Second Nephi 29:3 mocks the trust of the Bible believer by having him say mindlessly, “A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible,” with the Lord responding by calling such a man a “fool” (v. 6). Actually, says the Book of Mormon, the Bible is so imperfect that, instead of leading men to God, it actually causes them to stumble and gives Satan power over them (1 Nephi 13:29.) The Eighth Article of Faith formulated by Joseph Smith states that the Bible is the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. To this might be added, “And as far as it seems to agree with current LDS theology.” In my experience, there are only two places where the LDS Church will directly say that the Bible is...
