  • Most negative reviews are from current LDS TBMs. Take that how you will. Show’s great tho, love it!!

    If you’re a current LDS member, I highly encourage you to check out the CES letter! If it’s been debunked, what’s the harm in reading it! Read the debunking too!! And the rebuttal!! Do as much research as you can and find out if this is what you really truly believe. Take care, I’m praying for you!! <3
