If you think that the LDS church teaches false doctrine, then give true doctrine.

 
 
I'm waiting for an answer to THIS question first:

 
 
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/js_h/1/19#19
  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire 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 wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power 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 lying 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, mother 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.”
 
 
"Just what did Joseph Smith 'learn' to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANISM?"
 
 
 
There are no MORMONS on these threads that have an answer!!
 
Yet; their very LIVES & SOULS depend on it being true!

There is a genuine FR Mormon who I gladly provided numerous answers to on the topic of Reformed Theology.

One day this individual read something and totally twisted it into some question that didn't even resemble the cited text, and then expected me to answer their question. When I asked for the exact place in the cited source that cause our dear Mormon friend some consternation, which interestingly originated from a Presbyterian web site, this person accused me of evading the question.
