Now that it has been edited, I think the biggest problem with the article is not the doctrinal differences that have been raised (those are legitimate), but the fact that the author insists over and over that "The Mormon Church teaches..." and in many cases the Mormon Church doesn't necessarily teach many of those things any more. The Mormon Church appears to be in the process of distancing themselves from many of these abberrant teachings that were often shouted from the rooftops.

The fact of the matter is that the Mormon Church has been changing since day one and continues to change and is continuing to try to present itself as just another Christian sect while at the same time denying that any other sect has the Authority to call itself the true Church of Christ.

The Church never thought of it as just another church nor a break off another demonination.

The fact is this is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" always considered itself as followers of Jesus Christ!
