No, but it legitimizes the Mormon church and will increase their growth (the Mormon church hasn’t grown in a long time, maybe two decades).
 
Facts are obviously not a hindrance to your opinions.

Silly numbers. The Mormon church never drops anyone from their rolls. You have to ask, usually multiple times before they do it. You are lucky if you have 5 million active Mormons from what I’ve read and the church has been stuck there for a long time. Appropriate for a cult. Christians gained 3,000 in the first sermon after Pentacost. Mormons get used by thier church, social pressure for missions, like the social pressure to give up 10% in tithe plus 4% in “charity” . . . and their church does not grow except in wealth.

Isn’t it amazing? Mormons are just a drop in the bucket but are somehow able to accomplish so much good in the world. I love being a Mormon. I love my Church. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father for sending His Son to save me. The Holy Ghost testifies this to my spirit.
