CES Letter Responses

The CES Letter is a compilation of a large number of accusations against the Church.  While the claims in the CES Letter have been debunked many times over, the content in the CES Letter continues to be disseminated through thousands of videos by LDS critics, otherwise known as Anti-Mormons.  Critics maintain they are trying to "facilitate informed consent", but nothing could be further from the truth.  Solid, verifiable data they reported shows conclusively they are attempting to increase the number of members who hold contempt for the Church, so they are more likely to donate.  Please don't fall victim to this exploitation of members of the Church.  It is a scam designed to make money.

Below are several faithful point-by-point responses to the CES Letter.  But before reading, please consider this information about LDS critics that raise serious doubts about their credibility to make any accusations.
