 Biased & not well researched Oct 31, 2008
By J. Spirit
"mizzcrowley"
I respect a few Christians who attempt to write an expose' about other religions, but I have several of Burns' titles and they are biased and poorly researched.
She totally ignores the information on The Mystery Schools which do make Mormonism and Masonry companions in that way. She also fails to cite (or explore) other information and sources that might even weaken her case, which is to prove Christianity right and all other religions and Christian-based sects as of the Devil.
On Pg. 72, for example, she states that the Hebrew word "heylel" means Lucifer and this is totally in error. (Isa. 14:12) Halal from where heylel comes has many meanings, none of which are a proper name, just as Jerome mistranslated in the Latin Vulgate Bible.
As a researcher, she also fails to note that Jerome also calls Jesus lucifer in the Latin Vulgate Bible.
"...donec dies elucescat et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris." 2 Peter 1:19
Halal is used 165 in the old testament and have positive and negative meanings, one of which is "boast". This certainly coincides with the king addressed in Isa. 14:12. However, it is not a title or a name.
There are also some ludicrous "comparisons" between Masonry and Mormonism, such as "1.) Both have temples, 5.) They both have a vow of chastity. (this is even common of Christianity) 8.) They both change clothing before a ceremony. 18.) Both use a gavel.

 Truth Oct 16, 2011
By 777JC777
Sad thing about life, is that noone wants to hear what they may be doing is wrong. Especially when they enjoy doing it. Its so funny how the truth lies right in our face, and we are so ready to ignore it, its laughable. But then again, the best way to hide the truth is to lay it in front of you. Open your eyes, let him who have an ear, let him hear sound doctrine, why do we so readily run to foolishness, and after the lust of our hearts. Is the word of man that much more meaningful than the words of God? Our own selfish desires are what pushes us to make such foolish and poor decisions as listening to the foolishness that satan pushes to demean God, our Father. Stop allowing this deceitful being to be your master, and start "PRAISING" the only One worthy of our praise. We cannot become gods, we didn't always exist, and God the Father, was never a man, while this book may not be extreme into detail, the author does what the book is intended to do, inform. People always want to run to their own lust and sin, as their father satan wants, I hope you and your father have fun while you can.

 Bad information Apr 21, 2003
Please beware: This book is not based on facts or research. This book is by no means a scholarly account and is misleading in it's title. It has very little to do with Mormon/Masonic parallels and is completly uninformative. Cathy Burns has no interest in the truth of the matter and seems to be only interested in Mormon bashing and spreading her own hateful message,(this is somewhat entertaining) while discounting the beliefs of others. With that being said, I would recommend spending the few bucks only if you are interested in a chuckle. The use of silly graphics and drawings, along with the overuse of bolded text to compensate for poor writing can be fun. If you are looking for research material, this is not what you want. If you are looking for a rediculous slam on Mormonism or Masonry, this is your book. Thanks Dr. Burns!

 Good For Quick informationf Mar 19, 2004
When speaking of Mormonism against Christianity, false teachings within the Mormon Religion will be exposed. If you know about the false teachings in the Mormon-LDS Church, do not buy this book. If you are looking for more detailed and researched information, don't buy.Second note, many don't want to hear the truth about false teachings within Christianity, which Mormonism is., if you don't want to hear the truth, save yourself heart ache don't buy this book. Christ says, the truth will set us free. I would not say this book is good for witnessing because it is not very detailed. It gives quick little blurbs, but Cathy Burns by no way shape or form is making any of this up to make anyone look bad, look folks, the truth is the truth, we are to contend for the faith, not pervert it. The book would have been better if it gave more detail. The book itself is 101 pages of reading material.

This Book...well not very informative. Jul 21, 2003
Although I respect the right that all to have an opinion I agree that the use of bold text to compensate for poor writing is what Dr. Burns has achieved. I feel anyone who slams others is not very constructive. Biased books are not fun to read. A more neutral book looking at both sides would have been better now that would have been cool. Let the readers decide.
