Here are the facts:
MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe your Church is wrong, your Christian creeds are abomination to God, and you pastor or Priest is a hireling
of Satan.

Yes they will. They are simply polite enough to not rance around shouting about how wrong everyone is or starting hate threads on the internet about
another religion.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there is salvation only in their church&emdash;all others are wrong.

Yes, they will and do so say that.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that those who have been through their temples are wearing secret underwear to protect themselves from "evil". This
"evil" includes non- Mormons like you.

Again, they are polite enough to not shout about their panties. You haven't told anyone what kind of underwear YOUR wearing, that makes you evil
too, right?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU about their secret temple rites at all. If they did, you would spot them as non-Christians immediately.

Thats why it's SECRET. Do you leave church and immediately tell everyone about the private things that happen there(family counciling, church
reprimands, etc, etc)?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they think "familiar spirits" are good, and that their Book of Mormon has a "familiar spirit". Leviticus 19;31
says familiar spirits defile one, and are to be avoided at all costs.

Again, yes they will, all you have to do is genuinely be interested in listening.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that women receive salvation only through their Mormon husbands, and must remain pregnant for all eternity.

Your really stretching their beliefs to the extreme, but, ask them, they will be more than happy to explain to you how and why they think about
pregnancy and multiplying.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they intend to be gods themselves some day, and are helping to earn their exaltation to godhood by talking to
you.

Is that any stranger than pretending to eat the flesh and drink the blood of the son of God?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they intend to have many wives in heaven, carrying on multiple sex relations throughout eternity, until they have
enough children to populate their own earth, so they can be "Heavenly Father" over their own planet!

Wow, dude, just wow... I don't think you know what you are talking about here. Please post a link to where you got this information.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that you were once a spirit-child of their heavenly father, and one of his numerous wives before you were born on
earth.

Again, they will be more than happy to explain this to you if you really want to listen and not just exaggerate and ridicule.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the Virgin Mary really wasn't a virgin at all but had sex relations with their heavenly father to produce the
Mormon version of Jesus Christ

Again, this is a huge stretch, and again, they will be happy to help you understand why they believe what they believe.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe Jesus had at least three wives and children while he was on this earth.
MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the "heavenly father" they ask you to pray to with them, is really an exalted man that lives on a planet near the star
base Kolob, and is not the Heavenly Father of the Bible at all.

As opposed to a god who was also a man and died but didn't really die.....I get so confused. What I am saying is what makes it any less believable
than any other religion?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Jesus was really Lucifer's brother in the spirit world, and it was only due to a "heavenly council" vote that
Jesus became our redeemer instead of Satan!!

Wow, you streched the truth so much there that you tore it.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there are over one hundred divisions in Mormonism. They conveniently "forget" this while criticizing the many
denominations within the body of Christ

And those other religions are so quick to point it out about themselves, right?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that all their so- called scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants, and even
their official "Mormon Doctrine" statements contradict each other on MAJOR doctrinal points. The King James Bible is likewise
contradicted.

Then why bring it up? Every major religion on the planet has major major contradictions in them, what makes Mormonism the target of your attack?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the reason the Book of Mormon has no maps is because there is not one scrap of archaeological evidence to support
it!

And look at all the maps in the bible\Torah\quran that make them real.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the state of Utah, which is predominately Mormon, has a higher than the national average of wife-beating, child
abuse, and teenage suicide.

The only place I can find that backs that up is on an Anti-Mormon website. All other sites list Oklahoma as the worst in those categories.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their prophet Joseph Smith was heavily involved in the occult when he founded Mormonism.

Will too, if it was true.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that that they encourage visitations from dead relatives from the "spirit world", a practice forbidden in the Bible.
(Deuteronomy 18:10- 12.)

Dude, seriously, you cant use one old unreliable spooky book to try to debunk another old unreliable spooky book. Leave out the bible quotes and
verses. You aren't aloud to pick and choose them, There are other verses that command you to sacrifice goats and to go kill for god, why aren't you
quoting those?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there are many accounts of Joseph Smith's first vision besides he one they present to you, and all are
different

The first 4 books of the bible all present many accounts of Christ, and guess what, all are different.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their secret temple oaths are based on the Scottish Rite Masons.

Again, if they told, it would not be a secret.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that for years they considered the Negro race inferior, and even one drop of Negro blood prevented a person from
entering their temple.

But not anymore. Thats kind of like saying you're racist now because your great great grandfather owned slaves. Things change. I think maybe if
they still thought like that you may have a decent complaint, but they don't.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they expect Christ to return to their temple in Missouri, but they haven't built the temple He's supposed to
return to, because they don't own the property. (It is owned by the "Temple Lot Mormons" who have plans o of their own, and won't let the Salt
Lake City group buy it).

Just at most religions don't like to talk about the petty bickering that goes on in their own churches, not to mention religion-wide.

Cont.

Yeah, me too.
