[@Bram45639]

Being a Catholic struggling with my faith, I really appreciate his perspective.

Bro. Dodini is just as wonderful and amazing in person as he comes across in this podcast. I'm so excited I stumbled across this podcast.

Just happened onto this KZbin video and I'm so glad I did. What an amazing experience brother Bondini shared. I'm so thankful for all the spirit filled stories and his great example. I'm excited to get this inspired book and can think of a few people I want to share it with. Thank you for your great work.

I knew Fred and Pat while in the Purdue Ward in West Lafayette IN. Loved their family.

[@ramsrnja]

My Dad was also Catholic before converting at age 25, and he's still going strong today at 75 with strong conviction and desire to serve at the temple.

Love this podcast!

Brother Dodini reminds me of Abinadi's convert Alma . Out of 1 convert started the Church. He and his wife have a ward just with their family.

[@SuttonShimai]

I was a Methodist and converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Napa in 1972.

[@perrygillette884]

Did you know John and Linda Miller

[@Pamsmith59]

An understanding of the Nicene Creed and how it had infiltrated all of Christianity by the time Joseph Smith had his First Vision, gives us great understanding of why when he attempted to talk to local preachers about what he experienced, he was mocked and derided. Those poor "men of God" could not grasp that Joseph had seen God the Father AND his son Jesus Christ (two separate, resurrected beings); not to mention that Satan had attempted to stop the entire thing from occurring. How blessed we are as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to know what we know, and to be able to learn so much more if we simply ask in faith.

Oh wow 🤩 I’m 5 miles from where he grew up.. 😊

I grew up in Gridley California. I didn't know Fred but his parents had a drug store i know. How fun

[@rdancranston]

Gridley!! I grew up in Orland. Did you know the Fairbanks family?

[@dramadriwilson7524]

I was also catholic before joining the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints I had my question which was not answered the question was why do we bow before the image of Mary asking her for giveness of sin why sprinkling water before my head as baptism yet scripture tell us how Jesus was baptized.anf Jesus said when you pray to God the eternal father ask in my name.so this question bothered me.when missionary taught me the gospel I saw a great difference and joined the LDS church now am happy to be in the lord's kingdom.

[@Sen-hg5lh]

Oops! I'm so sorry I misspelled your name brother Dodini.

[@barbarabass6527]

Fred, do you remember Mr. Ralston, English class?

[@jakedyrland5443]

good morning cutie pies!

[@Trit7]

You mean “From Catholic to Latter-day Saint” right? Let’s follow what the Lord has asked as it comes to how we refer to each other and His church. More faith in Him to pour down power as promised than in the algorithm! 😊

[@latterdaylights]

Hi Tristen, yes that is correct. Thanks for pointing that out. :-) Unfortunately, KZbin only allows 100 characters in their titles, which is the reason for the abbreviation.

[@jakedyrland5443]

I wish that the church would help us by saying as many prayers for protection from trickery or falseness as possible!! careful folks! by experience.........caution is a huge key. also friends, darkness feels fear.....darkness wants to hide and wants to put out the light sometimes because they feel fear of not being loved or accepted so the light shines brightly and unfortunately what is in the dark fears being seen for what it is meaning like.......naughty deeds......anyways....pray for the church to stay safe and pray for God's protection oh wait nevermind.......I think we will be fine actually because I forgot, everything is always fine whoops

[@rosemariebennett7213]

Actually , I'm thinking of going back to my old Catholic Church because of so much church history that is not talked about or acknowledged. Including the Second Annointing. Joseph Smith and polygamy started much before he told the truth about it. Including the fact that , though Emma was his first wife, she was NOT the first he was sealed to !

[@latterdaylights]

Hi Rose, one of my favorite talks of all time is "Stand Forever" by Elder Corbridge. It might help you come to terms with some of the struggles you're dealing with regarding various church doctrines. speeches.byu.edu/talks/lawrence-e-corbridge/stand-for-ever/ I also wrote a book that I'm just about to release called "Faith to Stay" that also might help you. Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I'll send you a link to the digital pre-release copy. Best, Scott Brandley

[@jakedyrland5443]

[@mil-ns3rc]

THAT'S SCARY

[@jakedyrland5443]

sorry I'm silly most of the time ...okay all of the time

[@biblebaptistchurch-alexand3228]

Going from Catholic to Mormon is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire! Literally!

[@wendyfoster5579]

You should read the Book of Mormon.

[@JD-pr1et]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Says the person that only reads ant-Catholic and antichrist literature. Former Catholic and Evangelical Christian that found his way to the Church of Jesus Christ as he found the restored Church of Jesus Christ matched the Bible and Early Christian history unlike any of the man made churches out there.

[@kaduyantv2857]

​@@perttisuorsa4678As a former Evangelical Christian Pastor, i was taught and trained to hate the Mormons for teaching weird and unbiblical teachings. I was taught that they are not Christians and they doctrine is from the devil. One day, while reading the New testament, i came across this verse in the Bible " Matthew 7 :: NIV. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" I told myself, I am a Pastor, why would i judge this Mormons as devil, when i haven't pray to God about their doctrine. I will use all my energy and all the knowledge in the Bible, and i will pray to the God of the Bible, if The Book of Mormon is from devil. I began to plead with God, begging Him to please answers my prayers because if will judge the Mormons to be of the devil, and found out that i was wrong, the same judgment will fall unto me. The answer is now a history. I testify that Jesus Christ lives, and by the power of the Holy Ghost, i know the Book of Mormon testify of the divinity of Jesus Christ that He was the God of Israel. By reading the Book of Mormon, a person will get closer to Jesus Christ by keeping His commandments through loving our neighbors and serving with no expect in return. I am now serving in the Church of Jesus Christ, voluntarily with no paid ministry or paid clergy. Its all donated labor voluntary services, unlike when i was a Pastor, we get paid and have salary. I testify that the Prophet Joseph Smith is called of God and was a Prophet. I sustain the living Prophet today who hold the keys of the Priesthood, and that is President Russell M Nelson. Im grateful for my upbringing as Evangelical Pastor, for if not so, i will not be a Latter Day Saint today and known the glorious restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[@RogerKartchner]

No one is asking you to accept this on the testimony of others! We invite you to do what we have done....read it and pray to gain your own witness!! You have obviously not read it by your assertion that it is not very convincing! It was written by inspired prophets who saw our day! It was translated by the gift and power of God! And it is the physical, tangible proof that Joseph Smith is the prophet of the restoration!!

[@RogerKartchner]

But even more importantly, it testifies of Jesus Christ with over 7,000 references to Him! It contains the fullness of the Doctrine of Christ!
