Who Are These Critics and Why Do They Attack Our Faith?
Our outspoken critics predominantly consist of individuals who are former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As fellow children of God, they deserve our love and consideration. However, it's prudent to approach their criticism with caution and introspection. One should question why they are actively speaking out against the church and creating numerous videos (one channel has over 1500 videos). Is their concern genuine for your eternal well-being? Upon thorough examination of their websites and channels, it appears that they have a significant financial incentive to cause a faith crisis.
Becoming a Critic of the Church is BIG MONEY!
The author of the CES Letter is estimated to earn an annual income of $749,000, while the author of "No Man Knows My History" is estimated to earn between $1 million to $5 million per year. These earnings are derived from various sources, such as donations, income from YouTube views, grants, sale of products, and even fees charged to individuals experiencing religious trauma, which may have been instigated by these authors. It's astounding how the act of monetizing the loss of someone's faith has become a thriving industry
