Please help us with the materials and methodology to start Apologetic groups in Indian Churches this will be incredible

Krupanand, you can start using their magazine 'Engage' which was formerly 'Apologetics'. I had started my Life Groups at my residence from March 31, this year for every alternate Saturday and now we cannot house comfortably all those who walk in. But I am also an ardent student of Apologetics since 2008. God bless.

The link for our group, Antelope Valley CA, does not open. This may be because we are called Lancaster, CA, not Antelope Valley. Can you rectify this? Thank you.

Whose magazine - Engage? I am not familiar with this. I hope this list grows and also encourages others to start groups.

After coming back from visiting my nephews, I have realized how the Internet is moving youth to think about issues that some years ago they would not have so readily. One need only step into a news site like CNN.com and find all sorts of debates raging. Or if you just are into manga, then a google search gets you all sorts of good stuff but unfortunately also some pretty bad stuff.

My point is that youth today are being pushed to ask some difficult questions on account of the internet bringing these questions right into their faces and we Christians cannot cop out or provide mediocre answers.

Ciao,

Listening to a sermon and caught this...

I want to come back and add one more thought... while Christian youth are leaving churches, Mormon youth are staying. They face the same challenges yet they stick it out and remain Mormons well beyond college. You have to ask why. If we have the truth and they do not, then why are they so successful ... not to mention confident. I think it comes back to Apologetics. Mormons are challenged to think. They realize that one day they have to go to the streets with their teachings so they have to do some hard thinking.

I think fear keeps Mormons in the church. If they leave it, they will be ostracized from family and friends. It's a legalistic church. They are indoctrinated into believing that they have to be a member of that church and fulfill all its mandates to reach the highest tier in their three-part "heaven".

And, of course, the males are hopeful of attaining godhood and ruling their own planets. Women have to pick the right man to marry and ride his coattails to glory.

But yes, they do a bang-up job of teaching their members what to believe and how to articulate it -- as do the Jehovah Witnesses. But again, JWs fear being ostracized if they leave.

I see Virginia not on the list. Could you add Rob Lundberg, roblundberg.blogspot.com? Thanks for considering

It's also hard to admit you've been wrong for nearly half your Life so the Mormons stay put. Sometimes it's easier to stay and hope to find some truth in it. Mormons are not bad people they're just raised believing in a false phophet. Pray for them.🙏
