My Beliefs
“As I’ve traveled all over the world, the fact that I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has caused a lot of interesting questions. I’ve received so many letters and e-mails asking things like, What are the basic beliefs of Latter-Day Saints?”
My Testimony
…Some want to know how Debbie and I have been able to maintain a strong marriage — over all these years — while living in the world of show business. Others want to know how we dealt with the challenges of raising a close and happy family in such difficult times.
How do we maintain a balance between work, and family life? Well, you know it’s not always easy, but the following pages are my attempt to explain a way of life that helps answer these kinds of questions. It gives me stability in a world, and in a business, that can be uncertain, compromising, and stressful. It’s the pattern that gives me direction in my life. And, I hope that this information will help answer some of your questions.

Thank you for planting a seed
This is not a question but a thank you for planting the seed a very long time ago… To make a long story somewhat shorter I joined the church about 3 years ago and my husband joined the church 21/2 years ago. (Here’s her story.)

An Expression of Concern About the LDS Faith
After much study and reading into your faith LDS I have come to a conclusion…. NO amount of good works will get you to heaven…. Jesus was the ONLY man who was perfect and we are all sinners… And Joseph Smith is a false prophet… I hope you will know the truth. In Jesus name I pray .

“God Did Not Care For” the “Caretaker”; as a Result Children are Atheist
What word or words of wisdom can one propose or conclude, on behalf of another’s self-sacrifice to the point of permanent physical determent (tinnitus) when aiding a sick and dying loved one, ultimately producing atheist children because “God did not care for” their mother who saved the dying persons life?
