Oh boy... Mormons (Ok, other than the initial charlatan huckster) are wonderful people but please... use some common sense when discerning what to believe.
Oh Yeah - my chief pilot is Mormon ..... been to Provo and the looks though on those kids frighten me - they have this unhealthy smile when they talk or look at you ... almost something out of a Stephen King (??) book .....
I also think that Joseph Smith got tired of writing .... reason for lifting whole sections out of the Bible. I asked one Mormon how could Reformed Egyptian translate out as King James English - his reply was: It sounded more “Biblical” that way ...
Good post, AU.
I feel more sympathy for those who were raised in Mormonism from childhood. I can see how years of this stuff would eventually take hold.
Those who were adults and got caught by it, however, I think would be easier to bring back to reality and thereby save their own children from going through the same hellish brainwashing by using more “common sense when discerning what to believe.”

Common sense WON'T do it!
NIV 2 Corinthians 3:14-16
14. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
15. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
16. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
They are hung up on the OLD covenant in the LDS religion.
