Someone is out of pocket for this right? Now I know that all here, especially the critics are balanced :=) in their posting but I have not seen one post criticize the the cost of this dvd production. You see, ladies and gents, such money could have went to the poor and to all those in need. Instead, it went into making this dvd. Now isn't that a waste of good christian money? What would Christ think of such waste? And so many Americans in need these days. And I am sure that this dvd is not edible. Right?


Matthew 26:7-13. You'll find that most Christians don't object to the cost of the gospel being preached, and would not see this DVD as a waste.

True but they should. Why waste money attacking a faith in such a way as this. My gosh, we are speaking about thousands of dvds being distributed not to mention the money that will be spent making these dvds. It is a total waste of money.


Could you explain why it's a total waste of money?

I'm sorry, I've read too many LDS websites to be convinced of that.

Ones paid for by regular old members, or ones paid for by the church?

Thanks JB. I especially like this quote:

When Latter-day Saint missionaries visit homes or engage others in conversation, they studiously avoid criticism of other faiths. They do not attack and they do not condemn. Instead, they declare their own message honestly and openly and allow people the freedom to choose.
