As I have read all the anti-Mormon posters' screeds against our faith and us, It has reminded me of a funny commercial...

And as I read LDS members replies in this thread; I am reminded of this:

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/js_h/1/
  18 My object in going to ainquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those bprofessors were all ccorrupt; that: “they ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the gpower thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself alying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, bmother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.” 

 
(But, I'm SURE that JS did NOT mean anything personal here.)
 
 
 
 
 
 they were all awrong;
 
"How Firm a Foundation"

If you have a problem with the Lord’s description of the various denominations (not people), well, I guess you better take it up with Him.

Choose ye this day whom ye will serve . . .As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

He did not say they were not Christians, did he?
