Thank you for responding with very interesting info! I’ve felt a similar sensation of deception when Jehovah Witnesses have found their way to my door. The truth comes later, often much later, after it’s too late.
As I said to another poster who responded by mail, I cannot agree with their teachings, and don’t believe I share the same Christian faith with Mormons. As a sci-fi fan, I find their beliefs interesting, but perhaps share more in common with Scientology. I’ve met some absolutely wonderful Mormons in my life btw. Very fine family people.

Unfortunately I cannot say the same. There is tremendous pressure to appear perfect and an nice wonderful happy family to outsiders, but once you get inside, you see a lot of abuse, stress, pressure, denial, and problems. What I saw as a Mormon is vastly worse compared to what I have seen in Christian families since I left. And they hide it all behind a forced smile. It really is sad.
check out some of the articles and threads on this board. It is a support board for people who have life Mormonism. The link goes to a thread about Mormon families.
