A new anti-Mormon DVD is supposed to be distributed tomorrow, and FAIR (The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research) has a response up already. From the FAIR wiki site:
On 25 March 2007, a ninety-minute video entitled Search for the Truth was distributed to thousands of homes across the United States. The video has excellent production values but, unfortunately, its contents are not of a similar quality.
Though it purports to be an objective Christian evaluation of the teachings, history, and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it contains much that is inaccurate and very little that is balanced. Rather than focus on what they believe, the video’s producers have taken it upon themselves to describe and interpret LDS beliefs and teachings, often in ways that would be objectionable or unrecognizable to Latter-day Saints.
The video contains many of the same anti-Mormon claims that misguided critics have been repeating for years. The issues it raises have been repeatedly addressed by faithful Latter-day Saints, but the video does not address or take those responses into account.
This page provides information that will help you compare the video’s claims with the actual history, teachings, and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Feel free to pass this info on to others and post it elsewhere. www.JosephSmithDVD.org
