In "We're the Best!" (letter 1385), Berg said:

17. The Mormons tried to bring real liberty into the church in many ways. Joseph Smith ... went from church to church trying to find the right Christian church to join, but he never could find one that he liked & that he thought was right, so he started his own! They really started a whole new church, a new culture, a new society! It's only the strongest that have survived, & I am convinced that those are of the Lord or they wouldn't have lasted this long! If it be of God, who can stand against it? (Ac.5:38, 39)

18. I am convinced that he actually did have those revelations from the Angel! He was a firm believer in Christ, he preached Christ all the time!

20. We probably resemble the Mormons more than almost any other particular group, including a few of their doctrines too.
