George C. Jameson, a soldier in France, writes that he was previously a member of the Reorganized Church. He was brought up in the Church of England, joined the Reorganized Church, and later attempted to 'expose' the 'Utah Mormons'. After a debate with elders where he was unable to answer their questions, he was invited by Elder W. A. Carroll to Priesthood meetings, which led to a change of mind and his conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He cites this conversion and the subsequent reviling by former friends as a testimony of the truth.
In Their Own Words
“I was brought up in the Church of England, but I left that church to join the Reorganites. One Sunday night, I thought I could 'expose' the 'Utah Mormons.' so having learned some verses, and having some notes, I decided to tackle them, as I was taught by the Reorganites. The elders soon had me confused, and I was not able to answer their questions. I saw then that there were some things they had which were true, and which I did not have. Brother W. A. Carroll, who is now in South London, England, invited me to the Priesthood meetings, and I was very pleased with what I saw and heard. My mind changed in regard to the 'Utah Mormons.' No more did I call them 'Utah Mormons.' but saints of God. Since I have joined the Church my former friends have called me many reviling names, some of which, if put into print, would disgrace their sect. I forgive them, but this alone is a testimony that I have the truth. — Millennial Star 79:30”
