I’ve told many that the empirical evidence of this Marvelous Work and a Wonder® is in how it affects the personal life of the people who find it and embrace it.
However,
There are those people whose personal examples prove to the enemies and critics of this work that my claim of this type of evidence is not valid.
These are those whose lives are still miserable. These are those who haven’t found peace, who emotionally struggle each day to survive in this world. These are those who have not found any emotional consistency. These are those who still live in unhappiness because they’re not true to themselves and dishonest with others about their true desires. I could name them, to their chagrin. I’d like to name them so that their pride and vain and foolish imagination might find its end. And maybe, I would offend them sufficiently so that they would disassociate themselves with this work publicly so that their fruits do not misrepresent the true potential of the MWAW to do what it has done for the majority of those who have found it. I’ve offended, and continue to offend them at times. Many of them have removed their names and pictures from the official website, which is better for this work.
NOTE: If any of you are miserable in this life and cannot find peace and you have your picture and story on the official website, please ask to have your story removed … for the sake of the MWAW.
This minority’s actions, however, do not define this work. Because for every one of them, I can name 10 others whose lives have been affected positively; and upon living a more positive life, these 10 have affected the lives of others outside of this work in a positive way.
And for those who doubt this work is what it is,
Try living without it. Reject it. But if you reject one thing, you have to reject it all. Go back to how you lived and saw the world before you knew anything about the Marvelous Work and a Wonder®.
Re-read The Sealed Portion of the Book of Mormon–The Final Testament of Jesus Christ. You might have forgotten how powerful that book is. Don’t read it as a religious book, but as a human book.
But if you don’t want to disassociate yourself from this work. Please, please, please, never mention to another how wonderful it is to have the real truth when your life is a shambles.
We’d appreciate it!

TSP, chapter 74
66 And because the power of Satan is great upon the earth, most of the elect, at the time this record shall be revealed to the world, shall be ready for these things and shall accept them with an open mind and a glad heart. For they shall read of all the works of the children of men that have led up to the end of the world and the coming of the Son of God to the earth to prepare this earth for its place in the kingdom of the Father.
67 And those of you who shall receive these things with gladness, are commanded to teach these things unto your children in gladness, and they shall rejoice with you.
68 And when ye are dead, ye shall not suffer for that which ye shall observe that your children of the flesh doeth during the days of their probations. For ye shall know of all things that shall come to pass, and ye shall prepare your children for these things.
69 And now, I say unto you who receive these things with gladness: Behold, if ye have received these things with gladness, then in this gladness share these things with the rest of your brothers and sisters who have not received these things.
70 Do not condemn them for their ignorance and their captivity in the chains of Satan, but let the word of God condemn them.
71 But ye are commanded to rejoice in that which hath been revealed unto you. And if ye rejoice in that which hath been revealed unto you, then it might be the cause of your neighbor wondering the reason of your rejoicing.
72 And if your neighbor wondereth of the cause of your great joy, then he might, for the first time during the days of his probation, open up his mind to the things that he hath never heard, nor hath he ever considered.
73 For there are those who profess to be the followers of Christ who condemn others and ridicule them for the path that they have chosen for themselves to follow.
74 And if a man feeleth that he is condemned by another, he will have no cause to want to know the judgment by which he is condemned, and will shun him who condemneth this man.
75 But if this same man seeth that another rejoiceth in that which he hath received from God, then this man shall not feel condemned, but he shall want to experience that which he seeth in which another rejoiceth.
76 And if ye of the latter days, who are the elect, have the Spirit of God, ye shall be happy and full of joy all the days of your lives; for there shall be no reason that ye should be miserable.
77 For misery cometh of the plan of Lucifer, but hath no part of the plan of the Father. Therefore, I say unto you, rejoice in these things and share your rejoicing with the world, that they, by your example, might glorify your Father in heaven because of that which He hath given unto you that causeth your rejoicing.
