I’ve never had a Methodist say to me, “You’re wrong!” But, I have had Mormons say that to me. A Methodist is not threatened because the mainstream Protestant faiths are very similar.

I have been damned to hell by lots of ministers, then again, I grew up in the bible belt as a Mormon.

Some people even damn me to hell without meeting me, Sigh.

What were you, a mormon, doing in those churches? :)

I would suspect that in certian areas in the south and in places where a lot of Mormons live that preaching against Mormonism does happen.

But I have never seen or heard it. It is not a standard practice of most churches. What the author of this thread wrote just isn’t true.

Here's a interesting little tale: On my mission, a few streets from my apartment, a Baptist church had purchased a former LDS ward house for their meetings. The lobby had a beautiful hand painted mural of the first vision that covered the entire wall. When the Baptists bought it, instead of painting it over, they just painted out with leaves and trees one of the personages in Joseph Smiths First Vision. It still had JS there praying, but to someone who didn't know the JS story, it wouldn't mean anything. What I found ironic was a face to face revelation from God with God in human form is still contrary to orthodox doctrine.

We were invited by the minister to talk to him and a few members of his congregation a couple of times. Good memories!
