The Brigham Young professor then set out to buy herself a cross necklace to show her love for Christ, but there was one problem—crosses were taboo at the university. “Mormons don’t revere the cross. They see it as an instrument of death, not the place where Christ became the savior,” she stated. “[I]f I was caught, I would be called in by my superiors and lose the ecclesiastical clearance I needed to work there.”

I wonder how Mormons would reconcile this with Philippians 3:17-19?

17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

Seems the Mormons are throwing in with some pretty bad company.

Years ago, as a very new Christian, I was confronted by a Mormon friend over a cross that I wore under my t-shirt. He was quite offended by it when he saw in the locker room of the gym. As I reflect on this incident years later and compare with the teaching of Paul, it is clear that my friend thought he was giving me spiritual enlightment when in fact, he was showing his own spiritual darkness.

I had a mormon "friend" tell me...after I told him I was a Christian....I shouldn't be all wrapped up/ occupied / carried away with Jesus. Although he didn't say it like that.

Turned me totally off...to him and anything he ever said to me again.

Had a mormon "bishop" basically do the same....and he was a RACIST to boot.

I know some mormons that are good solid people....but I think they are hoodwinked.

FWIW-
