We are all are biased, but it's hard to get people to see it. I read a Catholic testimony online today. It was almost exactly like a Mormon testimony except the guy said "The Catholic Church is the only true Church." :)
i thought if I ask a TBM how many LDS testimonies they've listened too they're going to say 'probably hundreds, thousands,' etc. If I then ask them how many Catholic testimonies, or Presbyterian testimonies they've listened to I might get crickets, or more likely a rationalization. :?
But at least, if they're honest, they may begin to see why they are biased, and see that they are trying to be biased. 8-)

This site has a number of testimonies written down by the faithful of many religions. Seems Mormons don't have a monopoly on"the spirit", whatever it is.

That's a great resource. I read some of the Pentecostal testimonies and was struck by how much stronger they are than LDS testimonies. These people don't just "know" their religion is true because they have been raised in it their entire lives, they "know" it's true because they experienced a dramatic life changing event. I think they make a stronger case than "I just feel so happy when I see President Nelson's face that I could never doubt that the church is true."
